Chris Ferguson's "turning $1 into $20,000 playing online" project

[Karak567]

I turned 85 dollars into 5 grand within a month of when I started playing a while back.

Of course I started out on a heater (best way to build a roll, eh?)

not that hard to make 20k off $1 starting at microlimit? who are you ppl kidding???

with no time constraints and a decently playing subject, it's pretty easy, I think.

Seems like a big waste of his time. I suppose if he just does this in his spare time with no overall time limits - eh I suppose it's interesting.

I just turned .01 into four billion dollars in three minutes [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

He doesn't need any increases in skill level in order to optimally beat any of the limits on the way to $20k. This is why other winning players don't find it impressive, it is simply a function of time.

Maybe he's bored and wants to do something completely different. He'd probably make a killing (relatively speaking, of course) off all the other microlimit players trying to be the one who busted Jesus.

I wonder if he'd like me to bankroll him???

I don't care that you added the qualifier "relatively speaking", this is still damned funny.

I wouldn't call it easy. But it is definitely doable. The .01/.02 tables are loose. It would be pretty easy (for him) to turn $1 into $10 within a couple of days. Then just keep moving up in levels.

If you throw in tournaments, it becomes easier: Turn the $1 into $10-15 playing cash games , then enter a few $1 to $3 tourneys. If he doesn't cash, go back to ring games until $10-15. If he plays well enough, he'll have over $100. Then enter $10 tourneys. Then $100 tourneys once he's at $2-3k.

I actually needed 9 days (playtime 71h 4table) to make 500BB at 0.02/0.04$ Tables.

I think it is easier to make 500BB in higher limits then nano/micro limit!
