Chris Ferguson playing $2k nl on ftp ...
 
Is he that close to reaching his goal of moving up through the ranks in poker? on the rail someone was talking about checking his progress is he blogging about this or something?

He was within $300 and then made a few bad calls and lost a few flips and now I think hes back around $8300 or something

I think it's pretty cool, he obviously doesn't care about money at this point, it's fun to challenge yourself.

Ferguson got into FTOPS on a $4 super satellite, which put him in the $50 satellite and got him the seat to FTOPS #8.

Re: Chris Ferguson playing $2k nl on ftp ...
 
I think this is kool cuz he is proving a point to all the amature poker players out there, that u can go from a freerole to thousands of dollars. This is good for poker and I wouldnt be surprised if the owners of ftp came up with the idea themselves and figured they pay a pro to do it as a marketing idea.

Apparently Chris Ferguson told Jerry Yang not to tip the dealers after he won while he was cashing out and Yang tipped 0$.

Chris Ferguson: he did pay the 1.8%

Yeah, I believe I gave him the good ol' classic jinx. Ouch. Out in 20th. But hey, he is $815.48 richer--well, that is to say that's what he got for 20th, idk if he got in on a satellite or what.

Re: Chris Ferguson playing $2k nl on ftp ...
 
The fact that it took him so long is a testament to how awful freerolls have become.

There was a time where party offered quite generous free rolls that ended up being worth about $2 in chip equity from the get go. Then about 1/4 of the field was blinded out, and the vast majority of the remaining people didnt give half a [censored].

It's the only reason i ever was able to make it to where i am.

Alright, figured I'd comment on the Chris Ferguson railbird chat. I was the one who was pretty much berating Chris for his handling of Jerry Yang and the tipping situation. Yang asked Ferguson for advice and Ferguson claimed Yang paid the whole 1.8% which is obviously untrue, that 1.8% was spread throughout the prize structure. Ferguson has a vendetta against Harrah's for their poor handling of the rake withheld in tourneys and the overall handling of the world series yet he screws the dealers out of money. Thank you Chris Ferguson.

p.s. For any of you who haven't figured it out yet I dealt the World Series this past year and was told of the rumor before my final paycheck. If no one had spread the rumor I probably would never have had an issue. Instead I pretty much want Chris Ferguson in a dark alley. Oh, and he got my chat banned for outing him during the tourney. Wee!

If he only won $800 from FTOPS how did he jump up to 13k last night?

I assume he also has lots of other money he uses to play for real. Probably set the challenge money aside to jump in a higher game.

WTF exactly do you think sitting on your ass, shuffling and pitching some cards, and doing a little bit of math is really worth. Give me a [censored] break. Handling the register at Jack in the Box is worth more than that [censored].
