Lets take the Chris Ferguson challenge!

[liladypokerpro]

Sometimes I get bored and decide to teach myself something new. Last month I learned the game "Badugi" which is basically a triple draw game. It's interesting...probably not something I'd play regularly, but a nice change from the norm.

[gamer4life27]

I know how to play that. No pairs, no same suits, and you get 4 cards. Most cards in your hand wins.

But I guess this is what I get. I told my ladie to enter my in a small MTT or SnG. She entered me into a 40+ person, $20+$2 MTT with Karina Jett! I didn't know what to do, as it only paid top 5 places. I wasn't at the table with Karina, so I couldn't get her bounty. She got out before me, and i got out close to the money. Sigh...

Congratulations!
Thank you for participating.

Too bad, I would've been real healthy except my flush ran into a rivered fullhouse. Damn so close to being the chip leader....oh well. There's always next time.

Another $1.76 in the kitty. I'm up to $5.68. It's not that hard, it just takes a lot of time and effort.

Way to go Brooklyn good job! I haven't been playing freebies lately but I guess I'd better start soon if I'm going to catch you fellas!

Oh btw, I got an electric guitar today with amp and all extras. Only paid $125 for it...guy said it was only 2 months old...he tried to learn it and got frustrated and put it away, so it's practically new.

[gamer4life27]

Congrats on the new guitar and amp. I know how to play the guitar a little bit.

[liladypokerpro]

I can play some but I've got to refresh on the chords...last time I learned chords was from my dad and that was about 15 years ago LOL So my buddy David is going to come over on the weekend and help me out. I got it so I can surprise my sister for her wedding in October. Since I'm her Maid of Honor, I'm supposed to make a speech, but instead I thought I'd play her a song, since it's something she'd never expect in a million years.

This just goes to show you there is donkeys everywhere you go. Even in the higher limits. I'm SO PISSED OFF about this, I swear...

I'm the Early Doubles. Got knocked out of the A, but am still in the B. I am guaranteed money after I knocked out this person in a HU tourney. And, I'm also in a $1 + $0.25 Double Stacked 90 player SnG. I'm 8/35, top 18 get paid. Hope I can FINALLY cash with this bad luck streak.

[liladypokerpro]

Best wishes! Got my fingers crossed for you!

Since I didn't get a ptotw nomination this week that opens me up for plenty of time to play freebies this saturday

[gamer4life27]

I got out barley in the money. It was a sick beat.

A few hands into the round, he has a slight chip lead by a few chips. I get KK and raise it to 4x BB OTB. He calls, and the flop comes 2 4 J rainbow. He bets, I call. Turn, a 8. He checks, I go all in. He waits till his time goes almost all the way down and calls me with JJ. I lose, but get a little over $5 for it. I tell him what a sick slow roll. He said he was playing more than one game, but when I looked him up, he was only playing that HU tourney. I'm still in the $1 + $0.25 SnG, close to the money, and am still in the Daily Double B no where near the money.

[liladypokerpro]

Ick that sucks... But one thing you have to consider when someone says they're playing more than one game, it doesn't necessarily mean the other game(s) they are playing are on the same site. I've played 3 different sites at once plenty of times.

[gamer4life27]

Sigh... I never seem to go out on a good note, or holding the worst hand.

I was playing two tournaments at once. First tourney: J 10 SB. Limpers, I call, BB checks. About 240 in the pot. Flop comes out J 9 6. I bet 200, BB insta calls, everyone else folds. Turn, 8. I check, he bets, I go all in, he thinks for a while (another sick slow roll) almost takes his time, and then calls with 8 8. No Q or 7 on the river, and I'm out.

Second tourney: Double stacked. Almost 40 minutes in. I get 44 OTB. I built up a good chip stack, was second at the table, 8th over all. Folds, one or two limpers, and short stack (less than 10x BB left) goes all in to my right. I think for a while, call. SB goes all in right away. One more all in for less, and folds all the way around to me. I was going to fold, but my gut (which had made a bunch of right decisions all day) told me to call. I called, and had the best hand. Hands turn over, K J, J 9, and 3 3. Flop comes 8 5 4. Turn, a 2. River, A. Gets me crippled, and soon go out after that.

[liladypokerpro]

I'm sorry hun Just not a good run huh? I hope for better luck for you

[gamer4life27]

It's been like that for a while now. I would barley cash here and there, but over all, it's been a REAL bad run of cards. So bad, I'm down to $20. Playing $1-$3 games!

[liladypokerpro]

Oh my.... Maybe take a break for the weekend then come back fresh next week?

Wait, nevermind...ur in the ptotw tomorrow aren't you? darn...hmm...well I dunno what to tell you hun...



Well I hope you have a good game tomorrow...I'd get on and chat with you all but I don't know if I will be awake in time...I want to try to sleep in for once

[gamer4life27]

Lol, but I'm not invited this week. Someone wants to give there spot to me, but I don't know if thats possible. If I get in, thanks for the luck. If not, I will take a break. I still have real money in there, so I'm not completly down. I just need to make a good come back here soon. And I will be awake long before the tourney starts to see if I can take this spot.

[liladypokerpro]

Yeah mister I'll take a break....I just saw you sign on there

[gamer4life27]

Lol, I kinda 'guessed' the PTOTW password. Lol.

I just want to make sure it's ok, or not ok with everyone before I either do or don't register for it. I saw you posted on the Community Tour for the PLO freeroll. Did you enter it?

[gamer4life27]

Bty, added a new pic to the first page. Go check it out.
