I already tried this on Pokerstars.
Last year when Neteller went down (or more like refused any US players).
So I cashed out and I couldn't decide what to do with my FFPs.
So I decided to do the Ferguson. I played in only the FFPs games. Built my BR enough to play the .10 MTTs, then the .25 MTTS, then the .50 MTTS.
After I hit $25 in winnings. I played the micro cash games and the $1.20 SNGs.
i eventually built my BR to $200 in a year. I now have $230 on Pokerstars and counting.
I'm trying to reach $1k also. But i've been sidetracked recently because I now get
rakeback on FullTilt so I play most of my games there now. Which sucks.
It can be done but it's a hell of a grind. I wish everyone good luck on this challenge.
