Here We Go...

Hey there,

The main details of this venture can be found in the first post. This is similar to Chris Ferguson's challenge, who turned $5 into $10,000 through only playing on FullTilt. I cashed $6.50 on a freeroll on Pokersatellites.com and through alot of SnG grinding turned it into a decent bankroll of ~$300.

Apologies that gap & cease in updates, it got tedious trying to update while multitabling at the same time so I just focussed on playing.

Good luck at the tables!

Big Update Here...

Ok I know I have shown a little unenthusiasm towards this project after a bad run of cards, but have stuck to it and have clawed back my losses and into some profit. I don't know what positions I have come in the tournaments I have lost, so I will just put "Lost" in instead. Im not quite too sure on the order of these also, but will try to put them in as accurate as I remember.

Feeling a lot more confident heads up now also, won't need to be bolloxed drunk to beat you 5 in a row again Ryan ;-)

I did mess up entering the $20 SnG instead of the $10, but didn't play badly in it. Had over my starting stack in middle position with KK, raised UTG to 500, i type into chat "fold, i have a monster" and reraise all in - Instant call with...A-8. He hit's 2 pair on the flop and I'm out. I have decided to take $50 out into moneybookers and use that to take advantage of a bonus on another site. I will still play the $3 tournaments on PokerSatellites for now as I am doing quite well not at the moment. Above info mightn't be 100% accurate, I am awaiting an email off PokerSatellites to confirm the above data, all winning tournaments apart from 3 are definites, I had to calculate how my balance got to $127.70 from the remaining tournaments.

I have decided that to move up to the next buy-in level I will set a goal of 30*Buy-In's. So to move up to $5 SnG's I will need to reach $165. I will still however freeroll myself into a $5 if I win a $3 if I'm feeling confident to try to move up quicker. I will leave this decision to my own discretion at the time. Statistics now updated below;

Starting Bank: $0

- Profit: $14.50
