hmm....

Figures that as soon as I say I want in, I hit a FR for $5, then sit in 2 SnGs and go 1-2 to raise me to $8 and change....

Alon Ipser · Aug 20, 2008

Ok, I'm going to do this at UB. I currently have money there but will be at $0.00 when I start and will provide a screen shot whether needed or not. Most of the challenge and what makes this interesting to me is starting from nada.

Also, I wanted to ask if we could transfer funds from the site we start at to another later. Just curious because I think I could do better at Stars or FT after I get my bankroll started at UB.

shiver · Aug 21, 2008

hmmm thats a thought, switching from site to site will have its benefits, chasing bonus's and stuff. Likewise the challenge for me is from zero to (hopefully) hero, although I reckon I'll get disheartened if i'm still $00.00 after 6 or 8 months, lol. I have to confess, I know it starts 1st Sept but I played a couple of trial games yesterday @carbon (still pennyless)

Jurn8 · Aug 21, 2008

would anybody be will to run the blog??

Also transferring funds to bonus whore doesnt really comply with fergusons rules, but its up to you i see it as cheating.

shiver · Aug 21, 2008

in which case I wont do but If 1st of Sept is the official start date I have to open another account somewhere else. by accident I just got 3rd & $5. in a 1500 entered carbon freeroll, damn. not bragging just yet, just practising posting attachments

(Before all things, sorry for my poor english.)
I am not sure of how things are going and i have a few questions :
1st question :
Do you consider this as a competition? (if not, i am not sure print screen is a need : Trust in people is enough)
See the progression of each one can be cool.
I am a little lost when i read things like : "it is unfair if someone has more money than me"
I don't say it in a bad way; i am just trying to understand where we are all going for 1 year.
(And if i don't understand, maybe some others don't too)
Maybe, the 1st september is fast or maybe not

...
...maybe not so fast because hmmm, well it is a link for my second question :
Can a member of cardschat join at any time the Challenge?
Well, it would be cool if a member can join when he wants and with the bankroll and objectives he wants (in fact, no restriction but just fun and progression of bankroll share).

Well, i am impressive by the number of players who want join..
Congratulation -> Jurn8 for your presence and idea of blog and etc.

of this challenge, unfortunately i have no time for the moment to admin a blog... maybe i will have more times

un-diluted · Aug 21, 2008

I'm in. Sounds like fun, never tried it before.

I'd choose Full Tilt, but I work alot, and there aren't so many freerolls.

Pitbull poker, balancs $0

un-diluted is s/n, will post results. Don't wait anxiously, as I suck at freerolls

A print screen is discarded but if you choose to show then you choose to show, that's all

See the progression of each one can be cool.
I am a little lost when i read things like : "it is unfair if someone has more money than me"

This was already dealt and figured out, but more or less, if someone has nothing, and someone else has 100 or W/E, then it would be unfair to put them into the same area, so The creator of this idea said he would put them into different groups (EG) ppl with nothing there goal is 1000, ppl with $20 there goal is 1100, so forth and so on, I'm not quite sure, but that's what i've gatherd so far

I don't say it in a bad way; i am just trying to understand where we are all going for 1 year.

From nothing to something brag worthy

(And if i don't understand, maybe some others don't too)
Maybe, the 1st september is fast or maybe not ...

I can't really say if others don't understand this but if not I hope, I claryified it for all

...maybe not so fast because hmmm, well it is a link for my second question :

I really can't answer this question since there's going to be leader boards and other things like that set up also, I don't see why personally, but then again, I didn't think this up

Well, it would be cool if a member can join when he wants and with the bankroll and objectives he wants (in fact, no restriction but just fun and progression of bankroll share).

Bottom line this is supposed to be fun and friendly, but that's all good, but since your adding bragging rights to this challenge it makes things more steamy, don't you think?

Well, i am impressive by the number of players who want join..

Well hopefully then if this challenge is still going, which it should be, you'll be added on to the leader boards, and acouple of the ppl on here, will have made alot of money, and already started the brags, cheers untill then

I hope I answerd your questions, btw if someone can tell me something, how do you change Ink, so it's alot easier to read all of this?

Syfted · Aug 21, 2008

I'm in, but for multiple sites. That is, I'll only try to hit the $1000 on one site, but my winning freeroll could be on any of these:

Bodog
Full Tilt
Carbon
Ultimate Bet
Doyle's
PlayersOnly

We'll see where I hit the first Freeroll.

earache · Aug 21, 2008

Glad to see my name was added to the list. i may have to art on the change my site though. do I have to start on the first of sept. or if i cash in a game before that would i still be good. i just want to get money on full tilt before the first. i wanna make the one a day iron man. If I have to I'll try a new site. Ill check back for answers.

Alon Ipser · Aug 21, 2008

OK, I won't move from one site to another. Don't want to be considered a cheater.

Jurn8 · Aug 22, 2008

lol ok alon up to you buddy and will add new entrants to the list think that gives us 30 now which is brilliant!!

shiver · Aug 22, 2008

O.k change of plan, scrub out TheHoodedClaw @Carbon and change it to ubitnacy @Fulltilt I was getting over excited and got a head start. I aint doing nothing now til 1st Sept. I know 2 cents is like non existant and I can not do anything at all with it but is there a way to get rid of it and be totally $0.00 ?

Jurn8 · Aug 22, 2008

i dont think so mate ok will make changes tonight!

Jurn8 · Aug 22, 2008

OK would anybody be willing to run a blog for this tournament i think it would be great for people to be able to update how there getting on and be good if somebody would run this as ill be busy with leaderboards and my personal blog.

So any volunteers say here or PM me !

POKERYALL · Aug 22, 2008

Opps!

I'm doing the same thing already at Doyle's room but started it two months ago, so I don't think I can join in unless i can find a poker site I like. Played some free rolls to get started, two months later, I've hit a cold spell, keep running into very loose players who have the most amazing luck!! You can see my progress so far on my webpage if your interested, just look for the blog section once you're there, bottom of page......

cfuerch52 · Aug 22, 2008

im in

i'm in, too. i play on full tilt. my br, right now, is .99, i think i qualify, lol. good luck

cfuerch52 · Aug 22, 2008

Special thanks to naruto_mio, i have been trying to figure out how to print my screen with vista for the longest time, lol, tyvm.

thejuanupsman · Aug 22, 2008

Interesting idea. I've never deposited at any site. Currently have $73 at full tilt and $9 at stars. I'll have to think about whether or not I want to start a new account somewhere to do this.

cfuerch52 · Aug 22, 2008

can i see an updated list with my name on it, please?
