My FTOPS Quest!!!!!!!

I was thinking about it for I while and finally set myself the challenge.

I currently have $0.04 in my Full Tilt Account.

I want to make that $129.00 by Feb 15, 14.00est.(FTOPS 24)

And I know it might sound stupid but if by some miracle I do make that much, then Im going to throw it all into playing that FTOPS Event.

I will keep you posted on how my bankroll is doing.

Feel free to share some information that will help me make my bankroll and then build it up.

Thanks for reading!

Their lowest stake SnG is $1.25, and they don't offer lower than $10NL, where the minimum buy in is $2. Of course 4c isn't even enough to get you onto a $2NL table, so even if Full Tilt had them it's kind of a moot point.

So freerolls, I suspect.

Hey there,

I have started a similar challenge on another forum which is mainly sports betting one. It's my version of the Chris Ferguson $0 to $10.000 challenge.

It's an uphill struggle to be honest but I think I will make it. The question is when? The problem is that I set out to do it faster than Chris Ferguson and it's now looking unrealistic as I am 9 months into it and to date my bank stands at only $464.10

I basically started playing freerolls and then moved up to micro buy in tournaments. Once my bank reached triple digits, I started playing satellites to finance MTTs in 20K-60K range.

I was hoping a final table would give me a huge boost but it hasn't materialised (I made some FTs but I did not play these tournaments for the challenge) and as a result I'm still grinding it out. Even if I double my bank from here I won't even be a tenth of the way there.

You can see my progress here:

This is by far the most attainable goal I've read on CC within the last 14 seconds. I am sure you can get into a 2nl game and just SHOVE ATC and win. GL!

Good luck. I'm going to try and satellite into the Omaha H/L event if I can. I'm very interested to hear how you do!!!

A nice goal!...Good luck!

I should do that. I generally play in the freerolls for fun...never with any real goal. I take freeroll winnings to the tables and try to build it quickly...then make a withdrawal. (Usually $250 or more) But what generally happens is that I lose it quickly! lol

I do play better when goal oriented. I've won several packages to trnys...won my way into larger trnys...but have yet to cash them...sigh.

I guess i need to stop playin' for the fun and action, and start playing with some brains for da money!

Oh...by the way...I currently have THREE cents in my Full Tilt account...u want em? lol!!...just tryin to help!

its possible, its just gonna take a lot of really really gutsy bankroll management. Not being worried to risk it all and start from the beginning. I have gotten all my poker money from starting with nothing and is now about $650 bucks

I think it is great that you have set yourself a goal. I did a similar goal last year but it took several months to hit the $100 mark. I never made a deposit, I just faithfully played freerolls and built my bankroll from there. I built it clear up to $900 from nothing. I played a little stupid for a while and ended up cashing out my $400 and being just happy I walked away with something. It is a totally attainable goal but you have to be faithful about playing and super patient, not to the point where you play too conservative but definately tighten up a bit. Start small at the 9 person SNG $1.25 style once you have made the money on a freeroll of course. I tried to stick to the rule that I never played more than 5% of my bankroll at a time unless my roll was under $20. Good luck, I can't wait to hear how you do!

I have roughly the same goal. But with 8 cents - hence I am doing twice as well as you are.

Start to play freeroll and try to finish in cash and then u will be able to play in small buy-in games it will begin to be more interesting because make money in freeroll is very hard.

LOL. All I can say is GOOD LUCK. You will definitely need it.

you are rolled for $0.0002nl so gogogo
