Chasing Chris Ferguson

My long ears perked right up and I ran right over, stuffing my chips into the pot as fast as I could get them there. I’m the grade A, number 1 certified, piece of ass donkey meat that bet myself off of my chips. Whoop! Whoop!

First I got involved in this hand.

Four pair - I had the worst of it and threw all my chips in first…Here, Little Donkey, here Donkey, Donkey!

I didn’t feel that I took a bad beat. I just didn’t figure I was up against everything that was out there and when you’re doing Donkey Double Time, you don’t figure very well. I had 510 in chips left and found Q-Q a few hands later, went all-in, Waynestock (trip 9’s the big pot before) called me and showed 10-10. He flopped a set. I caught runner, runner and made a straight. Chips ahoy, my boy! The Donkey’s back in action.  Out of 1292 players, I made it to 566 - how possible?  It was a $3 + 30c on PokerStars, naturally.  I probably bet myself broke in it but honestly I can’t remember right now.

Glenda and I both took seats in the $10 + 1 tourney on PokerStars, we both finished in the $.  Not much money but we made it.  Out of 2747 players, I hit 313th place and picked up $21.97.  I accept.  That tournament wasn’t too much of a Donkey Girl appearance, I played pretty solid.

Then out of 946 players in a $2 + 20c, I finished 102nd and won $3.21.  Yup - Yup!  I’m smoking ‘em.

Will the real Donkey please stand up?  *Linda stands and bows*

Where is that creepy, nerve shattering, music that builds to a mind numbing crescendo like in the movies when something bad is going to happen?  Why did my little donkey hooves just keep counting out bets and throwing them recklessly into the pot?  The only good part of it is that the next time I play with ‘caio2′, they should have notes on me reading - “Big fucking donkey here!”  And I may get paid off when I’m not in a braying kind of mode.  BTW, it was a $10 +1 tourney also.

Then I played in a $10 +1 rebuy and picked up A-J of diamonds three times, I ran in to A-K every time and didn’t give away all of my chips.  Then I picked up A-K of hearts for my final performance, and being short chipped to 1195, I pushed.  I got called by A-Q off and they flopped top two…it didn’t even out and I was out, looking for the clover in the field down by the river. I’d already made up my mind not to re-buy…might be one of the best decisions this donkey has made in awhile.

BR $456.30 - Bad Donkey…Bad!!!
