Chasing Chris Ferguson

I played in a NLH tourney - guilty of not having my face stuck in the game as I was multi-tasking on other projects - the game had been running into the 2nd blind level, and when the screen popped up, I was the BB with K-K, two people had gone all-in; the first player had somewhere close to $700, the other player had me covered. I had about $1,300 in chips. I called. BOO HISS! The one that had me covered had A-A and I was out. I’m just not sure I would ever throw those two kings away in that spot, unless I really knew the player well. He could have been just isolating the all-in with any Ace-face or small pair.  Any comments on that?

Last night I was playing two tourneys at once. A huge mistake!!! When I first started this project, while playing two at the same time, I had a difficult time with concentration and paying attention TO THE DAMN BUTTONS I was hitting and resolved not to play two tournaments at the same time…especially if one was stud or omaha. OK…let me make a bonehead decision, followed with a mistake, and the result is never a good one. I was deep in a 7 Stud hi/lo (PokerStars, of course), and registered for a NL Omaha game. And I was exhausted, it was early a.m. in Vegas. The NLO game had only been running a few minutes and I had some crap hand like Q-7-4-5 and had checked the ‘pre-action’ fold box, when I noticed that if no one called, I could scoop the blinds as the players were sitting out. *Dirty rotten ratzle fratz* I went back to uncheck and someone went all-in…the damn box changed to call any or some such nonsense just as I was checking/unchecking and I auto called. I was definitely out of that tourney…making nothing with my all-in move. Kee-rist!

On the upside, I slid to 5K-10K level and went out 45th of 3680 players in the 7stud 8.  It was another free roll to get into a free roll that pays cash.  But that’s how I got my big bankroll start anyway so I don’t mind.

I ratted out two players for collusion by sending an email to support@pokerstars.  Yes…they cheat in a free roll too.  It went like this:

>IlovePS.ty: you have to be decent to get this far guess
>IlovePS.ty: play
>IlovePS.ty: play
>IlovePS.ty: no worries dude
>IlovePS.ty: play it
>iguess420: ths man
>IlovePS.ty: word
>IlovePS.ty: where just tryin to make it to 88
>IlovePS.ty: no big deal

Obviously they were heads-up, IlovePS.ty had a lot of chips and was betting - while telling iguess420 to call.  On 7th street, IlovePS.ty just pitched his hand, giving iguess420 a lot of chips and they both made the cut at player #88.  I hope they are both banned from playing on the site.  I HATE CHEATERS!!!  I received a response from support that my message was forwarded to the proper department and would be looked into.

And I reported two other slime-blobs for potty mouthing during game play.  Honestly, what is it with some freak that keeps taunting a player to suck his dick???  Like if he had one, would he be doing the ’suck me’ thang in cyberspace in a poker game?  And no, it wasn’t aimed at me, it was aimed at a player that had a big mac truck as their avatar.  Like picture this…idiot wants to get his dick sucked by big MAC TRUCK.  Bright boy!  And he offered for mac truck’s family - especially the mother - to join in the sucking festivity.  The idiocy just never stops.

I managed to whup up on some unsuspecting jammers in a 4c-8c 7card stud 8 game today.  Nice little touch to my growing bankroll which now stands at $10.20.
