Ok, well I have created a blog at WiredDragon's Xanga Site and so far I am at $1.58 from nothing on Titan. I won enough money from 1 freeroll to start playing 10c+2c Sit & Goes 10 seater tables on Titan. I appreciate your contrabution, that will help on Pokerstars and I don't mind doing this challenge on Titan and Pokerstars, I am sure the combination would be good.

Keep in mind I am in Australia, and so far I have noticed that if I play online at night over here from 10:00pm to 3:00am all the fish come out to play. If I play in the day time I am most likely to get smoked by sharks and my bankroll will be effected.

My account name on Titan and Pokerstars is WiredDragon

It seems that my own personal challenge is starting to take over this thread so after the next person that replys to me on this I will reply to them by starting a new thread.

Default this sounds very great

this should also carry over to next year as i would like to ge tin on this even though i have been on a teriable streak as of late.
but it is like the seasons it always changges.
anyway would like to ge tin on this if it is still going on or if there has been a cut off date .a si know everyone was supposed to start at same time.
and if that be the case will you start another one.?
and turning one dollar well 2 dollars into 20k is something i would like to see done as most sites you cant even sit down at a table with less than 5.
anyway would like to hear about how or if it will start again.
good luck to you that still have the 2 doallrs and have increased it

Default That is a Great Idea!

I took your advice and it took a few dollars but I am up to $290 after playing for 3 weeks. Its not much but I have learned so much. There is this site called www.texasholdemallin.com - Win Big at Texas Holdem ~ 110% Sign up Bonus that allows you to jump in and out of tables. There are 80 tournaments a day on average this is the best online setup I have seen yet!!

On my way to $20,0000

JOe

As I was reading benwiggy's thread ($4.10 to over $30, and then bust) I got to thinking about a recent podcast I listened to where Chris Ferguson was talking about his personal challenge to see what he could do with $1 online. He wanted to see what he could grow it into. Well, after losing the first $1 fairly quickly he started with another $1. After a period of time (I don't remember how long...1-2 years, I think), he had grown it to something huge like $20,000+!!

So, here's the challenge: take a dollar and see what you can do with it, and share your results with us.

Thoughts?

Thats great, I'm glad to hear that my Bankroll Management Method is working for you and other people as well. Excellent work on getting your Bankroll up to $290 dollars from just a few dollars in 3 weeks. You are also testomoney to the effectiveness of this Bankroll Management Dicipline. Keep in mind this is a general Bankroll Management Thread, I have my own WiredDragon Bankroll Management thread on this site as well.
