The Start - $0.00 to $5,000

I am on a mission to do something similar to what Chris Ferguson has done. Granted, I am not as experienced Chris, but I feel that I can accomplish this with some patience. I am hoping to amass a bankroll in the $5,000 range while starting from zero. I know that bankroll management will be my biggest challenge as I sometimes try to play in games that I don't have the bankroll for.

I started yesterday on June 18, 2008 with a balance of $0.00 in my Pokerstars account. I happened to have some previous FPP point available, and used them to play in one of the $500 10 FPP donkaments that they have 3 times daily. I was able cash for $.40 and am starting to play some $.02/.04 limit holdem. They have a minimum buyin of $.20 for that game, so I can start to grind away and make some money. I hope to make this bankroll/challenge complete by playing mostly limit games, and some MTT donkaments.

When I went to sleep last night, I had a balance of $.87 so, I finished the day with a $.47 profit. I am already starting to plug away today, so I will update later tonight with todays results.

I also forgot to mention that I got a Round 2 Freeroll ticket in one of the Hawking FL Freerolls last night. Ended up finishing 14th out of 9720, with the top 99 getting a Round 2 ticket.
