My Chris Ferguson’s poker bankroll challenge
Starting with my own Chris Ferguson’s challenge by playing online freeroll poker tournaments
A couple of days ago I registered to one of the freerolls on Full Tilt Poker. This was simply because I have not played online poker for quite some time now and just wanted to play a couple of hands for the fun of it. But before even realizing, I involved myself into the Chris Ferguson’s poker bankroll challenge!
The idea of starting (or should I say: embarking on) my own Chris Ferguson’s poker challenge came all of a sudden to me. It was never planned or premeditated, it just occured my mind when I was waiting for my online freeroll to begin.
I said something like this to myself: »Hey, you have no bankroll at all to play poker. Why dont you build yourself one by doing exactly what Chris Ferguson did on his poker challenge from Zero to Hero?« And the decision was made!
In case you do not know what Ferguson’s poker challenge is all about, then I suggest you read the following two blog posts I wrote some time ago:
- Chris Ferguson’s poker challenge: From Zero to Hero and
- Poker bankroll management by Chris Ferguson.
To sum it up: My main goal is to build a poker bankroll of $10,000 starting with no money at all. Since I have no funds to play poker with, I have no choice but to start playing freeroll poker tournaments until I get myself some funds to actually buy into a tournament or cash-game.
From then on I will be closely following bankroll management rules, which Chris Ferguson used in his challenge where he went from zero to a bankroll of $10,000. Since I wont be working on my bankroll challenge every day (due to lack of time mostly), I set myself a goal to achieve this in 5 years from now.
I have already made one video regarding my challenge on my Youtube channel explaining more in details about the journey I am about to embark on. Here it is:
The thing I forgot to mention is this: In case I do not manage to get some funds from the freerolls for lets say 6 months, I will deposit some cash into my poker account and start playing on the micro limits and go on from there. This is because I know how hard can freerolls be to get into the cash.
As I said I will start playing on Full Tilt Poker (you are invited to play online poker there as well, click here to register), but will be looking out for other online poker freerolls to join in as well.
Whenever I find a good freeroll to join in (big prizepool, small number of participants), I will tell you about it on my blog or in the Youtube videos I will be making. Therefore, make sure to subscribe to my blog or Youtube channel.
That is it for now, have fun and stay in touch!
