Sounds great, but how do you go about proving your roll at the end of the competition?

Report your results weekly. It will be easy enough to add up.

few sites will allow 2$ deposit so that might pose a small problem. there is nothing wrong though with depositing 50 and then withdrawing 48.

The trick would probably be to jump down to sites where there are absolutely tiny levels.

Also I think it would be appropriate to discount freerolls in this as they are not connected to the 2$ deposited - note though that that wouldnt could freerolls based on deposit (or via player points earned from the deposit)

Personally i dont want to drop below 10$ games and it is only really tourneys that i play so i am out but it will still be interesting to see how you guys get on.

To comment on just the first post (since I haven't read the 3 pages of other posts yet), I've basically already done this challenge. I started with less than $1 of freeroll winnings about a year and a half ago. Since then, I've grinded it into now over $3000. It was up over $4500 at one point about a month ago, but I went on a terrible losing streak. It's still a decent amount of profit from basically nothing.

I'm willing to do that, as well.
Let me know when it's going to start?

Unless this thread is dead and burried, then I'm just blowing some smoke *g*

Wow kikolo, that's awesome! Wouldn't it be great if a number of us could do the same?
