Ronaldadio said:

I`m starting with a small bankroll $97.57 to be exact, but what I meant to say was I`m using the same theory and aiming to get to $1,000 in a year!!! (I doubt I can play as many games as Mr Ferguson!!!)

Can anyone tell me what u r supposed to do if u use any FFP type points you may gather??? Do you use them and put any winning into the pot also?

• Never buy into a cash game or a Sit & Go with more than 5 percent of your total bankroll (there is an exception for the lowest limits: You're allowed to buy into any game with a buy-in of $2.50 or less).
• Never buy into a multi-table tournament for more than 2 percent of my total bankroll but you are allowed to buy into any multi-table tournament that costs $1.
• If at any time during a No-Limit or Pot-Limit cash-game session the money on the table represents more than 10 percent your total bankroll, you must leave the game when the blinds reach you.

• NEVER limp first in. ALWAYS open raise. If a hand is worth playing it's worth raising with. There's an obvious pot odds exception for the blinds.
• NEVER cold call a raise. Fold or re-raise. Funny, Chris SAYS that he'll cold call a raise with a hand like AQ or AJ from the button, but I'm yet to see it happen.
• DON'T play suited connectors from early position, even if you are opening the pot. EP = AJ or better.
• DON'T play any pairs worse than 88 from EP or 66 from the button.
• Look for favorable stealing opportunities, particularly from the button and small blind, but don't get carried away.
• If you're VP$IP > 20% you're probably playing too loose. Obviously that stat is card dependent and could be higher or lower in any one session.

If you've read my Chris Ferguson Profile you probably have a pretty good idea of how he plays, but here's a few tips that I've picked up in the over 1400 hands I've collected.

Good luck.

Hi all.

I`m gonna give this a go for fun.

I`ll keep you all posted monthly.

Wish me luck in the long hours of freerolls for the next few months

And it gets better - I will not post one bad beat story

I don`t think I`ll hit $10k - my target for 12 months is $1,000. Let see what I can do.
