Chris Ferguson turned $1 into $20,000. But i think it took a lot longer than 3 months.

Yeah it was Jesus, but I think it was like within 6 months, or it was a year.

If you're looking for an in-depth write up of how he did it, there isn't one.

check if bluff magazine has a website and if that webiste has a backlog of old issues. i think i remember reading about it in there.the strat is easy: buy short, which should be 5% of your current bankroll (i.e. buy in for $10 in a $50 max buy-in game w/ a bankroll of $200), wait for AA or KK, when you get one shove preflop. when you double up leave the table, repeat.it's just optimal game theory.
if you're not playing the notes in front of you it's not mozart.

do you mean that it's not optimal? i don't mean that this is the optimal (best way) way to play, i mean "optimal" in a strictly game theory sense.i don't want to explain it too much further because IMO this type of play signifigantly ruins the play of poker. the short stacks now prevalent (sp?) in online PLO has nearly destroyed the game at limits below $200 amx buy-in.but it is optimal in a game thoery sense as it can't be exploited.
if you're not playing the notes in front of you it's not mozart.

the similiarities have been discussed before. smash's strat is optimal too.

Jesus turned water into wine... so turning $1 into $20,000 must have been easy.

So what table lets you buy in for a dollar on FT?
What most people call tilt I call mixing up my game.

No, it was a dollar. He actually went busto with the first one, because he thought that omaha (/8 I think) was the way to go. Then he went NL Hold Em.

So did he redeposit $1 or did he go from $1 to $0 to $20,000
