Progress
Looking to Make a Buck
It’s been 5 days since we started this experiment and I’ve been trying to get off the ground. I imagine this will be the hardest part and will take the longest time. Basically, I have to place in the top 27 of a 2700 freeroll tournament or win consecutive sit & gos to get some money to work with. That is no easy task.
I will have to play often so that getting over the initial hump will not take several months. Honestly, I feel like I’m trying to start a bike going uphill in 10th gear. I’ll get a little movement in a tournament but will easily topple over because I have no momentum. It’s a long road ahead of me just looking to make a buck.
Here are the payouts for the 2700 player tournaments:
1st: $15
2nd: $12
3rd: $9
4th: $7
5th: $6
6th: $5
7th: $4
8th & 9th: $3
10th – 27th: $2

If you are not affiliated with any poker site, like Chris Ferguson was with Full Tiltand had to play only on that site to make his goal,
you might want to check other sites to make your goal, or at least to get started; for esample, Poker Stars has a freeroll promo going on right now.
Good luck.
I am not affiliated with any poker site, so I’m open to using other ones. I’ll check out the Poker Stars promo. Thanks.
I would really reccomend doing this challenge on P’stars instead for 3 reasons. 1) they have a greater number and variety of freerolls 2) the tournaments have up to 9000 players , so picking up chips for the first 2 hours is very very easy 3) the prizepools are far higher , $2000 for the weekly round 2
i did try the challenge on full tilt , but got very bored of winning $2 or $3 and then losing it as soon as you sit down !! good luck with it 
Liam, thanks for the suggestion. I’ll check out PokerStars again, but I’ve managed to get back in the game after some time off. I’ll post an article on it soon, but I won a 360 person freeroll and then played some 20 Full Tilt Point tournaments with the 100 Full Tilt Points I won from the freeroll. I won one of those, which gave me a large amount of Full Tilt Points. From there I played several 270 Full Tilt Point tournaments with 180 people and won twice for $12 each. I found this way to be much easier and less time consuming than playing these super long freeroll tournaments with thousands of players. I lost my first $12 but am at about $15.90 with my second $12.
