This really isn't that hard to do, besides getting started.
If you can manage to get that freeroll win for $5, and just go all in with the best hand and be covered to double 11 times, you will have $10,440, I think. Rough mental math.
PL is a good way to go, so that you are not as pot commited pre-river as many hands. |
Certified Feihua thinking.
Ranks right with my concept that as long as you can hold onto your 1500, you can do nothing but cash in a tournament. |

| Then they took the money out of his account and locked him from logging back on and blamed it all on a backlog. |

i won a 100$ rounder's radio freeroll (first one i played..lol) and cashed for 24.50$ .. i decided to do the challenge ..but cutting the profits i need from 0-10k to 0-1k ...
atm my status is in my siggy
i play mostly .05-.1 cash games (b4 went to .1-.25..big profit but risky..backed off) and 2$ SNG's...which i place in almost all the time (probably 80%+) and if i dont hit the SNG id have made my buy-in back at .05/.10 cash game and just start it over again...
i make a killer profit almost all the time (seeing how this day 2..and it took me all of day 1 to win the freeroll)
hoping to play this good for a month and hit the 1k mark then...but im willing to go the distance... |

| Nice to know that you don't suffer from bad beats, am now running 59 to 4 bad beats. the poker odds work out at 12,000,000,000,000 to 1 against. it appears that the professionals on the site don't suffer from this. Am just playing for the rake back , after that I will stick to casinos were the odds actually work |

So if your odds are really that bad, wouldn't it be more worthwhile to just cash out and close your account? |

He hit $10K and kept going. Got up to $35K then ran it back down to ~$9,500. Since the web page hasn't been updated since, I'm guessing he hit $10K again and stopped or decided he had already reached his goal the first time around and stopped.

| Last I heard, Chris tried to cash out but the check from FTP bounced. I think he's now trying to trade his $s for points on PokerStars so he can get a free T-shirt. |
