Chris Ferguson's Bankroll Management Challenge

I am on a quest to match what Chris "Jesus" Ferguson did. Well, almost.

Chris took one dollar and grew his bankroll to $20,000. Then, he started with $0 and played freerolls until he could afford money tables, and grew his online bankroll to over $10,000! He did this by following 3 basic rules. Read his rules for bankroll management here http://www.fulltiltpoker.com/pro-tips-archive.php?player=Chris%20Ferguson&tip=100

Since I am only an amateur poker player, I have decided to give myself a head start. I decided to start with a $10 deposit online and follow these rules and with solid play, make it to $10,000!

I started in September 2007. Got up to about $20 within a few weeks, but a month later my balance was below $1 and I could no longer buy into a cash game. I re-loaded another $10 on October 6 and grew my account to over $53. This re-load lasted about seven weeks until I went below $1 again in early December. Never, ever give up!

Third time is a charm: on December 4 I decided to re-load a second time and try it again. One month later I am at $18.08 and I am confident I will not have to re-load again.

Tonight I finished 110 out of 2,665 in a $1.10 Tournament and won $3.47.

Follow me as I make it all the way to $10,000!!
