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 don't think this is very unusual.
Most people start with a few $$$.
I had 1$ in august 05, now i am hugely overrolled for Nl200.
Never deposited another cent.

this is super super easy to do if you can already beat high stakes.

Chris Ferguson was in a $40 razz freeroll in FTP two days ago. He was still in it with an average stack when I went out around 100th.
