leebo70: Whats your goal on FTP?

dlcama: Make sure you have the Fulltiltpoker.COM version, not the Fulltiltpoker.NET version.

You know you want to sign up.
Have you noticed the ones in Full Tilt are over??

The easiest way is to see if there is a play money tab and a real money tab. If there is none, then it is the .NET version. I would un-install it, and re-install the .COM version, just in case. That way, you can see the freerolls and real money tables.

Updated till post #274

frankpapa1, if you want to join in this challenge, and have read the first page, then just post here what site you want to do the challenge on, under what username, and your goal. And you have to have started out with nothing, and can not deposit any money while this challenge is taking place.

Default starting with nothing

There are many freerolls on every site.
Take AP for example, they run freerolls every 2-3 hours (but plan to play 4-5 hours if you are to make it to the final table).

I have accounts at four different sites and have strickly built my bankroll through freerolls (and am doing very good financially at two of the sites).

If you want it bad enough, you will win!

I guess I'll start at Full Tilt, since I want to try out that play money freeroll tactic. And maybe move on to Celeb Poker when I have some bankroll as the limit hold'em tables are looser there.

My Full Tilt username is maollila. I use that same account to other games as well, but will keep books of my challenge bankroll separately. Or might as well cash out all money from there, so its easier to track bankroll and rakeback as well.

I'll PM weekly updates to you gamer4life27, and also blog about the progress here:
Taking the Chris Ferguson challenge - Rakeback Poker Forum
Have you played in the 500k freeroll yet? Where are you in play money? How's it going?

I looked at the blog but I haven't seen any recent updates. I might have missed them.

I'm trying to build a bankroll out of play chips, but it's harder than I thought. For some reason, I can never get passed the small limits. I'm still at only $0.27 though...

I got 28c from the Rakeback Community Freeroll on FT, but then realized that's not one of the accounts I am doing the challenge on LOL ooooooooooops It's all good, I might as well say I'm out of it anyway......ever since schedules have changed around here I haven't had enough time to really sit and play like I'd need to.

Well you have to remember, it took Chris over a year to get to that goal. So it might take us 3 years to get there.
