The Ferguson....

By AHMWM on 09/24/2007 read AHMWM's complete blog
After getting home late once again I managed to register for FTP's "The Ferguson" with a few minutes to spare. For you who don't know what The Ferguson is, it's a $1 buy-in tourney on FTP nightly. Normally it is NLHE but not always. I try to play in the NLHE versions as just a fun donkey play tourney. Tonight I planned to play while I did some homework. After playing for the first 45 minutes I realized the homework I was doing was actually due Wednesday and not Monday. After the feeling of great relief I turned my focus to The Ferguson. After making some crucial double ups my stack dwindled as the bubble burst and I made the money. I was short stacked and decided I must move in pre-flop with pocket 5's. I received two calls and was ready to close out the screen. The flop came 838 and gave me a ray of hope. Both stacks went all in and showed KK and 77. Time to go home....the turn was a meaningless 4 but the river brought the miracle 5. I tripled up and moved tables. I the made the grind through twenty more positions when I was dealt pocket 8's. I once again received two calls. Both players showed A3 (what a donkament). The flop came K Q 5, the turn a J, and the river an A. Ouch... One good outdraw deserves another I guess. Oh well....I did cash however I might not be able to buy a McDonald's Double Cheeseburger with my winnings....LOL sucks being a broke student....well rakeback will be coming in a few weeks and it will feel like Christmas..can't wait...till then....back to the grind......
