| I`m ahead!!! "My Ferguson challenge" update - Should this be a brag!!! Hi all. I posted this http://www.cardschat.com/f13/chris-f...nge-i-m-96992/ on 28th October 07. As I put in this thread, I was `fast tracking the challenge by starting with a bankroll of $97.57. Anyway, the good news is that by using good bankroll management, NOT GOING ON TILT AS MUCH , using good pot odds, not being afraid to get busted out of a tourny, it has worked!!! I now have a true profit of $651.89 - I`m well impressed with myself Unlike in the past, I have not done this by one big tourny hit, it is by a mixture of finding the right games and, again, acepting bad beats and being happy that I was a big fav when I got my money in. I have then either left for the day, or dusted myself down and started again. If I`m going to play on, I`ll always max up the buy in (so, if say if I started with $50, took a hit that took me down to $25, I immediatly top up to $50 again.) I have also been able to walk away from a table when I have been well ahead, and also, if I lose 1/2 my buy in I`m off - different to the good old days when I would try to stay and `win it back` !!! I am now starting to be a winning cash game player - until the last few months - unheard of!!! Since October, I am showing a profit in all three areas, being MTT`s, SNG`s and cash games One final point, I think it is fair to say I would not have done this with out the advice and help of the good contributors on this site - even though the critisism can be a little hard to take from time to time So thanks guys |

| Wow, congrats Ronald, those are great results. Glad you see you sticking with strict rules that govern your play. It's not an easy thing to do, so kudos to you. I remember your posts when you were getting really frustrated and needed a break, so it's great to see that you were able to sort things mentally for yourself and turn this all around. Best of luck to ya...keep at it. |

Seriously, I put this in because I think it was my biggest failing - as pointed out by a lot of people. A lot of people might be helped by my admission here ? Last edited by Jack Daniels : 26th February 2008 at 3:02 PM. Reason: fixed quote tags |

| Gj it sounds like you are doing well. I'm at about 110$ on one site starting from a 10$ free "gift". Only been about 5 days or so (of actual playing...30min-2 hrs day) so im pretty happy. I also won a freeroll on another site, which gave me about 10$ (but i stopped playing that site since it was pretty inactive). So in my own twisted sense of logic, I am going to see how far i can get with an "actual" ferguson (if you equate the freeroll win money to the 10$ free "gift"). It's pretty damn hard starting from such low limits...even 100$ isn't very much coz you can't really play any more than .1/.2 |
