Chasing Chris Ferguson

It’s almost Halloween and what have you seen, in those nights betwixt and between?

That old full moon just couldn’t wait, so darker a night Halloween will make!

The Jack ‘ Lanterns sneer in knowing, that much evil will be flowing.

The witches brew will be a’ bubble, making way for much more trouble!

The vampires, werewolves, goblins and ghouls, will be on the look out for all brave fools.

But when it is all said and done, hope your Halloween is lots of fun! (more…)

Sundays are usually the day I play most of the day. Not by choice, but because that happens to be when PokerStars decides to schedule the tournaments I want to play in. Today it was the Million Dollar Man (MDM) 500 FPP tournament and the Sunday $200k guaranteed event. Then this evening it was the PokerWorks Family HORSE tourney.

If you do, now is your chance! Come take us on - in the PokerWorks bi-monthly HORSE tourney on Sunday October 19th. Registration is now open on PokerStars and it is only a $5.00 + 0.50 buy-in and you can afford to spend that for some fun! (more…)

I wish I had some really hot meaty news to report but I only have cold potatoes! (more…)

By choice I am low rolling in Freeroll or FPP buy-in tournaments. I have jumped in and out of ring games, just long enough to know I am still in the card-dead-zone.  The way things are going right now, I don’t have a lot of desire to risk much money playing anything. (more…)

Paying attention to the game brings me to the fact that the beats are paramount in every aspect of poker, and though it seems like Murphy’s Law has me singled out, they happen to everyone. I read a lot of tournament reports simply because they come across the pages of PokerWorks and I am the editor, and I play a ton of poker when I get started on a day of play. I may go for two or three days without playing, but when I do decide to settle in, I usually play nine or 10 tournaments or more. Yes they are always free rolls or frequent player points tournaments because I have no bankroll. (more…)

Well, I am not in hock but I would be if I were paying money to play, but I do feel like a hockey puck when I get knocked around and “poked out” of every tournament before I can get to the dollars! (more…)

It was nice to hear from my #1 fan, Jeff! It’s comforting to know that someone out there in cyberspace who feels my pain! It was also interesting that he mentioned in his comment to my last blog that being aggressive can have a profound effect on the success of your play. (more…)

Our bi-weekly PokerWorks H.O.R.S.E. tournament kicked off with nine of us in attendance.  I would like to say that I had a stellar performance in the game but that would be a lie.  I did have fun.  This was our first tournament with all three of the Chasing Chris Ferguson bloggers being in the game.  It was also the first one that Ken and GUAZZELLI missed.  Rudeelvis didn’t make it either.  Katie (Round Table writer) made it though and ThunderBob (Where are they Now series writer) and his cousin joined us too.  Nice group!

Yes I am back at them…the poker tables that is. I have been playing a LOT and winning none. The only good thing is I haven’t lost much. Mainly because of lack of time and patience, neither of which I can figure out how to get more of.
