I jumped in the Ferguson tonight, hoping to keep myself occupied for a while, maybe win a couple bucks. Well, first hand I am on the button with Q10 off, the cutoff limps so I limp behind. Flop is 
, SB bets 120, a pot-size bet, BB calls, I figure what the heck, I'm open-ended, its 120 to win 360, and call too. Turn is 
, giving me broadway, SB leads out again betting pot, 600, I push over the top to 1360, and he calls, turning over 
. He had 2nd pair after the flop, bet the pot, picked up a flush draw on the turn and bets pot again? Okay, seems like typical bad play early in a cheap tourney like the Ferg. So I'm sure all of you can guess what suit the river was. Down comes the hammer in the form of the 
. One dollar, one hand, and I'm gone, donked by a guy with 2nd pair chasing a flush. 
I hope any other birdies playing tonight have better luck than I had, that was the fourth game I played and 0 cashes tonight. I'm done for now, taking tomorrow off, and hoping to come back strong on Sunday. Wish me luck!

I lasted a bit longer...but got to see what happens when the bottom falls out.
I had the chip lead (or at least stayed in the top 3) for quite a while...fell to 11th at the break. From there, it all went down hill. I was getting hands...but everything I had was beat by another. In less than half an hour, I went from 11th to out at 297th. The final hand...flop 2 pair (including top pair) but the small pair made trips for the person who knocked me out. I won't complain about it...that's just how it goes sometimes.
