He's dedicated, highly intelligent, emotionally stable and disciplined. Yeah he'd do fine.

Of course he'd be good. It's possible that he has problems with the ethics of playing cash games and taking people's money. In tournaments the most a fish can lose is the buyin.

Huh? I don't think it is because of ethics.

When he was on High Stakes Poker they said he had never played a cash game before. I find that very hard to believe, he won some but didn't do that great really as I remember.

Yeah, he's stated in interviews before that he got his start in a 1-5 no ante Stud game (could have been 1-3, but definitely remember it being no ante) in Vegas back in his early college days. I'd have to imagine he had play the occasional cash game on full tilt, or on the side during tournaments.

[/ QUOTE ]he has such a bad table presence, being some long haired bloke who slows the game down.. i dont doubt his ability but with him taking so long when he makes any decision i would probably smash his face in

As I recall John Juanda got his start playing high stakes deuce to seven before he was a tournament player. You could do your taxes while that guy makes a decision. Doesn't seem like being deliberate is a big impediment to being a winning cash game player.

In this $0 to $10,000 challenge that Ferguson is doing for the second time, aren't a lot of his winnings directly from cash games? Or did you mean high stakes.
