I've been trying to build a bank roll starting from nothing and have hit the $100 mark. I did have a bit of a cheat though. I had about a $3 BR when I used some FPPs from earlier play for a SnG and won an $11 ticket which I sold for $9 (Thanks AG). Anyway, a little over 4 months of off and on play to get this far. Not as fast as Chris Ferguson but better than Snowman. ;) I'm pretty happy but expecting a bit of a downswing now that I've bragged.

Congrats :)

I'm in the middle of my third (or is it fourth?) attempt at this at the moment, I'm still yet to break the $20 barrier though :p

Right now I'm still debating on what to do from here. I'm thinking about moving some of this over to Full Tilt. Also, I have been using the beta version of PT3 (Thanks Chuck). I think I want to purchase the finished version when it comes out. What ever I do, I not making any big jumps in the limits I have been playing yet.

so are u playing cash games or tournies?
cause if ur playin cash games i think pokerstars has much better limits for ur roll size
but if u like a bit smaller sized tourny fields u should move some funds to ftp

but whatever u do, good luck :)
