Chasing Chris Ferguson

Not much.  It’s still hot as hell in the desert.  A-K still can’t beat Q-10 offsuit and Q-Q can’t beat A-2 of hearts.  It’s not pretty.  I feel like road kill being served up on a wood plank at the local “So You Thought You Knew How To Play” bar and grill. 

I can’t figure how to get out of the slump.  This is heads-up kids.  Not multi-way action.  How do you beat these hands or better yet, how do you find a way to not get beat with the hands I’m playing?  If I had a machine gun and a box of grenades I don’t think I could beat the game.

I’ve had a very busy run lately and it’s kept me from playing…not a bad thing when you consider that I simply cannot win.  Sometimes not playing or getting involved in the emotional torment is a good thing.  I am definitely emotionally tormented right now.  I really do understand the game…I think…er…ahhh…maybe I don’t.   I just know that if I picked Q-10 to call someone’s all-in raise with, or A-2 (even if it’s suited), I wouldn’t win the hand.  I watch the cards on the board after most of the hands I fold and the cards I pitch aren’t winners.  But here’s the real crack-up…the cards I’m playing aren’t winners either.  What’s the answer?

Give up the game?  Perhaps.  But what kind of fun is that?  I like to play poker.  I know if I don’t book a win soon that I’ll be back in freeroll land looking for a mini hit of a few pennies so I can get back in action.  But in the meantime, I’m already registered in the PokerWorks H.O.R.S.E tourney that clearspine has set up for us:

“The tourney is up, once more under Poker Works Family, with password “donkeys”.  Sunday, September 7, at 21:00, $5 + .50 HORSE.”

And it’s at PokerStars.  Please join us.
