|  GaF's Nothing to Something thread (Current Bank €1007.85) I need a new poker challenge!! Partially inspired by Slapdash's attempts in this thread - Trying a Chris Ferguson and thinking back to Mr V's iconic post here - How To Start Out in Poker Without Risking Your Own Cash I've decided to go back to basics and create a new Poker bankroll, Chris Fergusson style from nothing.... What can I turn nothing into and how long will it take me? With the merger between SpOdds, Sporting Bet and Paradise I've ended up with a duplicate, dormant account on Paradise (Username ValeDown  ) - so I will use this. Balance is currently zero and I will make no deposits..... Tonights HillyTheFish freeroll and next weeks PL Freeroll give me a great chance to get off the mark

| Re: GaF's Nothing to Something thread Good luck. I'm treading water on around $15 in mine.  I haven't been trying much recently, to be honest. I got a bit demotivated when I realized that my ROI seemed to be a lot better in $50 STTs on Virgin than it was in $0.50 and $1 STTs on Ultimate. |

| Re: GaF's Nothing to Something thread They'll probably have a buy in wont they? It will be the "STT Blitz" style I presume on standard tables

| Re: GaF's Nothing to Something thread I really dont get it. Why would anyone but a reclusive millionaire or a 3rd world refugee want to go through this kind of torture. Good luck though, Forgot Hillys thing was on so thats one less for you to beat

| Re: GaF's Nothing to Something thread (Current Bank $82.80) Will report on my progress every 10 games or so...... Habitually jumped in at STTs for a mximum of 5% of my bankroll, but had been thinking I would play for 10% ... not sure now if I'll stay at 5% or switch to 10% A good start on the $3 games

Hmm, you do it on a site where you can play freerolls with a prize pool of $1000 and a few hundred players. I do it on a site where the only freerolls have a $50 prize pool and around 2500 players. I think I lost this at Step One, didn't I? Though I've just had a thought. You won your $60 in a freeroll ... for which you needed a password ... which you got from a magazine ... which you PAID FOR!  | |
