Message: [QUOTE="imredee, post: 1169491, member: 43170"] [SIZE=3]First I want to thank everyone for the advice and input both the supports and the skeptics.[/SIZE] [SIZE=3] [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]I have gotten a lot of comments to my blog centered on Chris Ferguson’s accomplishment in comparison to what I am trying to do. I want to address this subject today. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3][/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Do I think I'm as good or compare my game to his? Absolutely not. He is an[COLOR=black] elite player and legend in the Game.[/COLOR] Just know that if you read the details of HOW he accomplished what he did you would see it is like comparing Apples to Oranges. His results took much long because of the limitations he put on how he would do it. First, he only played at Full Tilt. What took the most time was making his initial cash stake. Here's why. Full Tilt has between 6 and 10 Freerolls per day where you can win money. First place pays $15…..that’s right $15. Most are turbo tourneys so you HAVE to get in with coin flips. It would be really difficult to play every freeroll every day there because they are spread over 16 to 18 hours. Last but not least, the number of players per game is 2,700. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3][/SIZE] [SIZE=3][COLOR=black]Once he final won a meager bankroll he never risked more than 1% in any cash game or tournament. If he lost his 1% in a cash game, he was done for the day. I am using bankroll management but nothing nearly so limiting. To give you an idea I won a $120 on a freeroll the other day going against 1900 and $36 in another freeroll with a field of 96. Big differences. Since this is about building a poker bankroll one of the things I am also doing is cashing out and moving my winnings to other rooms to take advantage of bonus offers. [/COLOR][/SIZE] [COLOR=black][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][/COLOR] [COLOR=black][SIZE=3]So, hat’s off to Chris. He certainly took a purist’s approach. I just have a different plan. I’m more the average Joe who wants to jump-start a part-time career in poker and, do it as quickly and efficiently as I possibly can. [/SIZE][/COLOR] [COLOR=black][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][/COLOR] [COLOR=black][SIZE=3]As some of you have pointed out, the clock is ticking and I have my work cut out for me. So, back to Poker. With some luck and solid play I just might make my Goal. Keep your fingers crossed and I will keep you post![/SIZE][/COLOR] [COLOR=black][SIZE=3][/SIZE][/COLOR] [COLOR=black][SIZE=3]:joyman: :rolleyes: [/SIZE][/COLOR] [COLOR=black][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][/COLOR] [SIZE=3] [/SIZE] [RIGHT][RIGHT][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][/RIGHT][/RIGHT] [/QUOTE]
