Nick, actually he turned $1 to $20K, not $1K to $20K.
He told that story a few days ago at the bustout bounty bonanza (yes, i´m a railbird that likes watching pros playing and chatting, especially Ferguson and Lederer), and he said that he did that some years ago before FTP existed. He started playing 0.01/0.02 NLHE and it took him a few months to reach the 20K.
Now he has another challenge: he wants to turn $0 into $1K as soon as possible, and that´s why you can see him now playing freerolls.

I hope to do this before he does
. I've turned a $2.50 freeroll winning on titan into my current bankroll of almost $100. I'm doing it with limit games and heads up sng's, so I have broken the bankroll management rules he uses several times. Although I did have to "borrow" $20 dollars from my bank account in order to get the money away from titan and into a serious site where I could play some higher limits in full ringside games.

definitely an amazing feat...on top of the fact that he did it at micro limits!!!?
i would have liked to see him play
i'm sure he had won nearly every pot he entered; playing limits that low and winning the 20k in such a small time too

I wanted to bump this up because I'm actually trying to do this right now at party poker. I wanted to see if anyone else is doing or would consider trying to do this with me and post results on a topic we could start up.
I would encourage people to do this because it really helps you improve your patience and discipline. It can also be very maddening when some twit who knows nothing about poker beats you with BS luck.
Currently I'm up about $60 dollars in two weeks. Unlike Jesus, I didn't start with a dollar (because Party Poker has a 5 dollar min to play at micro tables) I began with about $120 and strictly adhere to the 5% of your BR on the line at any one game.
If people are interested, please reply and I'll start something up for all of us to track our results!!!

i re-played it and see what you mean, wsorbust.
What he meant was that he bought in for the minimum, and apparantly at FT the minimum at a 1c/2c table was 10c. He said he would sit in, starting at the BB and play a round until the BB got back to him, and if he didn't double up he would leave and try another table.

ic. that makes sense...except for the fact that he says he plays to win the table...which is impossible if he's not doing a sit and go or tournament right?
...you don't buy into a table unless it's a tourn or sitngo...right? I have no experience playing with real money. . . as you can tell .lol

I am trying a similar challenge - since I am an amatuer, I gave myself a $10 head start - it is my own $10 to $10,000 Challenge. I am following Chris Ferguson's rules and I blog my progress at $10 to $10,000 Poker Bankroll Challenge
