Mission Impossible from 0$ to 10k$
 
Chris Ferguson 5 times WSOP champions shares his experince with people as much as its amazing it was dead hard as he says.

Cool!

He should do a SNG Challenge!!! :D

Cool story. I wonder how many high stakes players made it from starting with $100 or less bankroll and won 100k plus from it.

I can think of at least two from this forum.

NOT IT!

His DB doesn't show nearly this much in winnings, so a few people have been questioning the legitimacy of this.

stormswa 08-22-07 11:56 PM


arnt most of his winnings in cash games? DB dosent track cash games.

Benji 08-23-07 12:16 AM

He started with 2$ win in a freeroll, he says it comes all from BR mangment doesnt sit anywhere with more than 5%.So I guess lots of it was from cash games.

It is amazing what Chris has done, it must take alot of patience.
I started off this week with $0 at Bodog, then i placed 3rd out of 3,300 in a $500 freeroll and now i have $45, I'm gonna see what i can roll that up to.

Do your self a favor and follow correct banroll management, will ya? ie, follow Chris' rules and don't take it all to a $200 NL table like far too many idiots would. You have a HUGE head start on him - it took him 7 months to get to $6.50...

4aces07 08-23-07 03:01 PM

7 Months to get $6.50?? :eek: He cant of played many freerolls then.
I don't think i can use proper BR management on bodog. The minimum nl games are $10 max and the limit games start at 0.25/0.50, also i think the sng's are disgraceful there.
Im down to $38 right now, i lost 3 $5 buyins at a $10max nlhe table. I was running ridiculously bad, getting my ace high flush rivered to a full house when all the money was in, flopping a full house went Allin, got called by 3 aces and he hit the 4th ace on the turn. Just stupid stuff like that got me down to $30.
But then i played 6max 0.25/0.50 limit hold'em for a hour and got it up to $38. :)
I would like to play some o8 there but the tables just don't fill up. :(

(if anyone could trade $38 on bodog for $38 on pokerstars, please pm me. I will send 1st to a regular here)

. Then go make a Full Tilt account and get someone to transfer to you there instead. Play their micro-limits and enjoy getting 27% of your rakeback.

Tada.
