Pacific Poker gave me 5 free dollars cashed out 285 couple months later after doing what you are.

I took $25 at Pacific and turned it into > $600 at Limit 0/8. But I can't stand that site and don't play limit anymore.

Anyone start at a site with this small of a roll and get it up to anything substantial.

Some guy called Chris "Jesus" Ferguson turned $1 into $10,000 playing online in a little excercise he did once. He started at the .01 - .02 tables and slowly moved his way up. They discuss this in the book "Aces and Kings."

Just took down a few pots at the .1/.2 tables. Its fun to get berrated for my aggressive play. "you raised with that crap?". I had to explain that I had just moved up from the .02/.04 and was still learning.

That is one of the funniest goddamn things I've ever read.

Thank you.

I built my whole bankroll that way. If you can't deposit you do what you gotta do....

I made a bet with a friend one time. We both start with $5 and see who can get it the highest after a week.

I couldn't stand that [censored]. I lost in 10 hands.

I have never made a deposit in my life... I took the free 2 dollars paradise gave me forever ago and ran it up to about 2000... from there I funded the rest of my sites and the rest is history.

Actually, I think he got it up to $20,000 and it took him 6 months. Supposedly, after getting through the microlimits, he never risked more than 1/10th of his roll in a session.

Not sure if he grinded it out at the live games or played tournaments to get the 20K.
