An Experiment Building A Poker Bankroll From Nothing
Featured
Bankroll Challenge
How hard would it be to establish a $1000 poker bankroll starting from nothing? That’s the question we’re trying to answer with our Bankroll Challenge.
The idea is inspired from an old article by Chris Ferguson titled, Ferguson Goes From Zero to Hero. Chris describes his experiment, attempting to turn $0 into a $10,000 bankroll, and the strategy he uses to manage his bankroll. He ended up completing his goal in September 2007.
We aren’t quite as ambitious nor can we commit hours each day to playing poker, so we’re making it our goal to build a $1000 bankroll starting from $0. We’re just average guys who want to learn to play the best poker we can and see how far we can go.

Hey guys
i am doing something very similar and i am in my second attempt (because i managed to blow over $100 that id carefully built up in one tilty day lol). I play on pokerstars and started playing the astronomer freerolls , after 4 hours i finished 19th in the no limit omaha 8 tourny. In the weekly round 2 , i placed 6 for a pretty nice $52. A couple of days later i played a $1 MTT and placed 5th for $109 so at the moment im hovering around the 160 mark 
would love to hear everybody elses stories too 
will let you know when im at $1000 
Hey Liam
Unlucky blowing your roll, what stakes were you playing in order to lose it in one day?
I run a poker training site that may help and on the site you can get a free $100 deposit on some big sites to give you a kick start back to where you were.
Let me know how you get on?
