Did Chris Ferguson Really Follow His Own Rules?

[delphi12 0]

According to his rules:He never buys into a cash game or a Sit & Go with more than 5 percent of his total bankroll (there is an exception for the lowest limits: he is allowed to buy into any game with a buy-in of $2.50 or less). He doesn’t buy into a multi-table tournament for more than 2 percent of his total bankroll, but he’s allowed to buy into any multi-table tournament that costs $1. If at any time during a No-Limit or Pot-Limit cash-game session the money on the table represents more than 10 percent of his total bankroll, he must leave the game when the blinds reach him. Thinking about it, seems very likely that this will keep your bankroll in tact. Though I wasnt following it, Michael Craig was and wrote a blog about it. I just found it.. He writes this:"At 9:20 PM PDT on Tuesday, August 14, Chris Ferguson reached his original milestone of ten thousand dollars, starting from zero on Full Tilt. He did it at a $10-$20 NLHE table, and the landmark hand was As-Js. Chris raised and the big blind called. After a flop of T-8-3 with two spades, Chris bet and was check-raised. But it was a small raise. When Ferguson moved all-in, his opponent folded.And that's how you get from zero to ten thousand dollars."Looking at that closely, its obvious Chris cheated. A $10-$20 game has a max buyin of $2000. If even 1 person had that, then it represents more than 10 percent of his total bankroll (since he didnt have $20k to sit down with obviously). I find it hard to believe that he found a $10/$20 game where the total amount of money on the table was around $900-$1000.So what does this mean?? Did Chris lie? or am i missing something (and if so, i apologize for making this post sound like im accusing him of something because i really like the guy!)

Then you are saying that EVERYONE at the table did - around $150 if its a 6 handed game - for $10/20 on tilt, i find that HARD TO BELIEVE!

Yes, just the money in front of him. Or more specifically, the amount of money he could lose in one hand.

STOOOOOOOOOPPPPIIIIIIIDDDDDDDD....It's HIS total money on the table not the amount everyone else has. Really if you are competent enough to write out that entire post you should be able to discern that fact.
