Chasing Chris Ferguson

Just a quick post to wish everyone a very Happy New Year. May all of us have a year filled with love, health, happiness and prosperity. (more…)

I have complained about them before. The players who sign up for a tourney and never play, the irritating “sleepers” found in all Freerolls.  (more…)

Wow no poker for 5 whole days…I was in withdrawals! After returning home yesterday from the family Holiday thing, I caught up on some work  then found a game on PokerStars. It was 10/20c Stud8 and had pots of $2 or more. Pretty good for a micro limit game I thought.  (more…)

Well, I don’t think I’ll be playing any poker for the next week, so I had to get one last game in before my vacation! (more…)

After 3 hours and 17 minutes, we were down to four players in a $3+30c 7 card stud competition.  We started with 72 players, and at this point, I was b-e-h-i-n-d…but then I had  been through most of the tournament.  In the first hour I managed to keep a few chips in my stack and was ahead of the average but after that, my fingernails were in the wall, and they gradually broke one by one.  (more…)

I am serious when I tell you that I played in a freeroll yesterday on Ultimate Bet and went out in the first hand!!!! (more…)

Here’s my Christmas wish for all of us girls running the great Chasing Chris race - may our stockings be stuffed with great game choices, playing perfect position, building our chips stacks gracefully, learning from each other and our comment contributors, taking the best of what we have available and applying it to all future endeavors - at the table or away from it, and the best damn year ever!

In the last post, I left it with the statement that I was slamming in another tourney, it was a $3+30 NLH.  I took 169th place out of 1364 players to eek out $5.31 and boost my poor little BR to $36.34.  (more…)

is w-a-a-a-y down.  I don’t know if the war has been tough on me or if I’ve been tough on the war.  I’ve kicked through more than one tournament struggle, two of them in the $11 price range - and one of them was a re-buy tournament (didn’t know it until I’d sat in the game, but I didn’t take the re-buy).  Most of my buy-ins have been in micro limit instead of low limit on Poker Stars.

Okay, so I am really enjoying my little stud tournaments. (more…)
