Chasing Chris Ferguson

Well, I took my newly found wealth and entered a Full Tilt Poker tourney called the $26 Token Frenzy.  (more…)

by the Card Fairy.  The little be-atch is on the rampage 24/7, tracking me down and trampling me to death with a herd of ugly beats.  Sure, they may not be ugly to you but that’s because they aren’t happening to you.  I’ve played in about 3 to 4 tournaments a day and never made the $$ for the last week or so.  The only thing that has kept my little BR hovering at the $500 mark is the 7 stud 8 or better $1&2 and occasional $2&4.  That little be-atch hasn’t found me there yet.  Whew!

Which relates to a donkwhuppin which is the same as an asswhipping, only in poker. Really God bless them, I love them all, those little long eared darlings…just not lately.

I figured that if I won once, I may be able to do it again and got into the same Full Tilt freeroll again yesterday evening. (more…)

Just when I was about to give up on this whole deal, I got a breakthrough! (more…)

Ok I admit I am not a big Football fan, but I know enough to understand a field goal gives the team three extra points. If money is points in my BR then I kicked the field goal! My BR goal was to have $1k by the end of April, but I didn’t make it.

I’ve been bashed a bit by the card fairy as of late but this isn’t a whining story - I consider it a winning story because of my attitude and game plan development.  The highest my BR has been is about $580.  It’s at $523 right now.  I won all of it by playing micro limit tournaments on PokerStars.  I graduated (in my thoughts anyway) to playing ‘low’ limit tournaments but still jump into micro limits.  I’ve won a few $$ and given back a few $$ playing micro limit ring.  I like tournaments over ring games  - another reason for me to play online over live.  There’s a new tournament starting every few minutes and if my brain can handle the intrusion of screens popping up everywhere, I can play more than one at a time by multi-tabling.

The saga continues.  It is beginning to feel like a rerun of a soap opera where they leave you hanging-for days-to get to the next scene but always give the promise of something hot and exciting to come when you “tune in tomorrow.” (more…)
