    10k Poker Challenge

    I'm going to make a little challenge. I stopped playing poker routinely after Black Friday. I have over $100,000 in tournament cashes between Bodog, Stars & Full Tilt. I'm going to make a little challenge. The goal is to go from 0 on RPM Poker to $10,000 by May 31st, 2012!

    I can play anything from MTTs, SNGs to Cash. I'm going to chronicle everything here in an effort to keep myself focused as well as to provide inspiration for others looking to do something similar! They run 2 free rolls per day which is what I'll have to start off with to hopefully build up a little cash and then run with it!

    I've attached a screen shot of my starting balance!

    Time to Roll!!

    I think Ferguson ended up doing it twice. It can be done; you just need extreme bankroll management.

    Ferguson aside...I have no doubt that people can do it. I think Goat girl went from freeroll winnings to amass her fortune.

    I ended up making .01 yesterday via the free rolls and fun steps. I was running well in the $200 free roll until 99<77 all in. I want to find a way to be at $500 by the end I this month.

    I see what you're saying, no one really knows if he used a super users account, but I doubt it. I think for him it was more of the challenge to see if he could do it. I mean, the dude was pulling in crazy moola (as said by the indictment) and I've always considered Ferguson tight with money because he hardly played any cash games. So as a poker degenerate, he probably decided to risk nothing, grind out the fuucking .02/.04 tables, and create some attention for the site ... all while stealing from the coffers.

    True American dream, folks

    I am playing on RPM (Merge Network) right now. I got started on Bodog back in 2006. It use to be awesome and continues to fall apart.
