Lets take the Chris Ferguson challenge!

[liladypokerpro]

At this rate it's gonna take me til I'm in a nursing home LMAO Just don't have the time to play......

[gamer4life27]

Lets see... if we were to cash for $0.25 every day, and not spend that money at all, we would reach our $1k goal in 4000 days, or ~11 years. So you won't be in a nursing home that soon.

Hope you like the idea!

Maybe they could have some gifts as tournament entry's, or real money transfers, or (if it's like 100k in chips on here) it would be for exclusive tournament qualifiers online. We would (of course) represent rakeback when doing the larger chips for tournaments, so it's kind of like getting publicity for free if we win the package!

[liladypokerpro]

I love the idea because the Rakeback hat I made and ordered was great, but it'd be cooler to get it from the site itself

PS > Just so ya know, the hat gets a huge number of looks and questions when I go to the casino....even one of the dealers asked me about it the last time I went LOL

[gamer4life27]

*uses magic wand to call a mod over here to take a look at this and post what they think.*

I'm good...

[nole]

im started doing the ferguson 2 weeks ago and now im up to $10 whole dollars lol

[gamer4life27]

Good luck nole in your quest for the goal. I hope we all get there, as I know we will.

If you wish to post your username and your goal on here, I can post it so people can follow your progress.

[gamer4life27]

Yeah.... more of the luck I've been having... >_>

kajacko - What is your username(s) and which site(s) will you be playing on? And also, what is your starting goal? If you haven't already done this, then withdraw all your money, and start from $0.00. If you already have done this, then tell me what your starting bankroll is and I will post it. Thanks, and good luck at the tables.

[bowlaman]

I kinda started this challange myself. I have 2 accounts on full tilt (not what you think) One is a real money account that I deposited on through rakeback and the other I do playu money games. I usually only play for real money when I have time to do tournaments or I feel good and want to do a poker binge. Other than that I will play fake chips on the other account. I ran my fake money account over 30Mil chips in a 3 months stretch and have been playing the 500K freeroll and cashed 3/5times for $2, $2, and $3 and I took that and played a few $1 45 person games and won one for $16 I think it was. I kept at it and started playing the $2 sngs and got it to $57 after about 30 more sngs. Usually doing the 18 persons. ANd I kinda just left it there. I was popndering just transfering it to my other account then I could use it towards my BR and play more for rakeback instead of the challange. What do you think? I mean should I set the goal and grind out a few more months and try to break 100, 200, 500, 1K barriers or should I transfer over and stick to where I seem to be making the most money in the $3-10 MTTs and the 90 person KOs.

[gamer4life27]

I would say stick to one account for the real money. (In truth, you shouldn't even have two, even if one is for play money and the other is for real money. It's against the FTP rules.) But if you already have started on this challenge, then I would say keep on going. Post your username and what site you are doing this on and your goal. The min. goal for this challenge is $1k.
