Is poker rigged? Can a real pro come from the same path from
nothing to something like a everyday poker player sitting in his living room?
But more importantly can you?
My progress to date is 0 to $1265.00 ...Oh yea, I have the proof!
I came across this article by Chris "Jesus" Ferguson. What happen is kind of amazing in my mind. Chris went from no money in his account to 10k, from "nothing to something". Amazing, just by playing freerolls Chris has made over $10,000 and from what I can tell it took him only 18 months to do it. What does this mean? Can anyone be a professional poker player with no money?
There is lots of low limit buy-in poker tournaments that return large paydays. A good example of this, is the 10.00 buy-in every night at PokerStars.com, 50K guaranteed. You can play this tournament for a long time before going broke. Last Sunday, its Sunday Two Hundred Grand tournament featured 25,000 entrants, with $25,000 going to the overall winner. Not bad for an $11 investment. read more you can't afford not to play at that price.
This is easy... I think I am going to make much more! Playing low-limit buy-ins is a easy low stress way to spend your afternoon retuning large profits every month! For under 100 bucks you can play for prize money that is anywhere from $1000 - $40,000 for first place.
I am posting my results for everyone to see. I think people are throwing away their money on-line and don't care. Sometimes their actions are frustrating, in fact you will see you do win over the long run!.
Chris is looking at this as a long-term venture. It is going to take longer than a month or even two. If you are going to do it you are going to need to wait out your opponent. Chris is an excellent games player, often times it is easy to see the draw on players from the gaming world because it is much like a online adventure game. Getting to different levels of play and the king of the mountain winning all the prize money.

Daniel “Kid Poker” Negreanu has decided to challenge himself to take a $10.00 bankroll and raise it up to $100,000, exclusively through cash games on PokerStars. He’s starting at the $0.01-$0.02 micro-limit games and moving up when his bankroll allows it. Is this the new Bankroll buliding system?
Read the CardPlayer article here »Reading the article my self there was a couple of things that I found to be interesting, Daniel is going to do this in live action. and from one cent, two cent limits. It is very challenging.
The first thing that comes to my mind is... "Do you think he will do it under his own screen name?"
I am going to attempt to do the same thing and track the results, so you can do it also!
It would be interesting to know if Chris Ferguson played under is own name. Because I feel it would of made it harder for him if he did. Players knowing who Chris is may of played much tougher in lower limit games and in the larger fields. Also the majority of players may of had a more carefree betting style. This would of made a challenging, but difficult environment to win in especially playing as little as 5 bucks in.
As a matter of fact the hardest part of this experiment is playing in very low-limit games. Going broke is all the worse, back to square one you go... "I know the other player don't know, but its frustrating!" how do you win this war, a war of pennies! Read what happens in the> blog
