Default Chris Ferguson turns $1 into $20,000 ???

I listened to an interview a while back where Chris Ferguson was explaining how he started playing the online micro-limits with $1 and built it up to $20,000. The interview didn't go into much detail as to how long it took him to do this, what his b/r requirements for moving up where, whether or not he multi-tabled, ect... Does anyone know where I can get all the details on this story?

Are you sure he didn't say that he turned $20000 into $1 by lending it to Mike Matusow?

Ferguson's Bankroll theory counterintuitive?


I hate to share that link as it will doubtless encourage more shortstack queers in nl games. All the sites have to do to stop that stuff which makes the games tighter is make a minimum buyin of 40xbb or so instead of only 20xbb or even less on some sites.

He's currently trying to go from freerolls to 10K to prove something or other

I did that. I have no idea why someone would voluntarily do that when they could be making a lot more money.

I did some math from what someone said in that thread. If you are only pushing with AA KK QQ or AKs, than you are only playing about 1.7% of all the possible card combinations. This means you are only going to see one hand or maybe two an hour. My God, this is a fantastic exercise in patience, and I'm going to do it. It will definately be an exercise in tightening up. I need that, as I play limit most of the time and its really easy to play too loose. Thanks for sharing that link.

I turned 1.72 into over 20,000 in a little over a week.

True story.
