Chasing Chris Ferguson

After reading the last blogs from both Linda and Glenda, I am depressingly reminded that I have gone nowhere so far on this project!In fact, my finishing percentages have dropped instead of increasing.  I believe that Linda is correct about becoming tainted by scores of bad beats but I am telling you that it does not take years to feel butt whipped, only months!

I managed to get into a Full Tilt HE Freeroll last night and I was sooooo patient.  I only caught a couple of decent hands and played them as well as I could.  I was not in a group of high rollers at the time, so the chip winnings were not great for those hands.

There were a little over 2,000 players left out of 5,000 when things went from bad to worse and although I put myself in with a few pocket pairs less than 10, they never panned out and I had to fold every time as the new additions to the table jacked up the pots. (Such is always the case when THEY have the hand and not me)!

I was dealt an A,3 of hearts and decided to have a look at the Flop,  and lo and behold, I caught a flush.  The Flop was a 4h, 5h, Jh.  Almost a straight flush for me at that!  I bet 4X blinds and was called by one player who had at least triple the amount of my chips.  The Turn came as a 4C and I just went for it and called All-In and my opponent called me.  The River was a 4D and my opponent turned up a pocket pair of Queens and trampled all over my Flush with his Full House. 

 I wonder if he would have stayed in with me if I had gone for it on the flop.  He had no hearts in his hand.  However, he had to see that I had a possible Flush on the Flop to his one pair and he did not back down, so maybe not.  Down and Out again! $Maxiecat$
