Finished 10k Challenge!!



I started playing poker for fun a couple years ago, then I got bored of the freerolls. I deposited money onto my Pokerstars account and quickly found out how different people play with money at stake T.t I ended up losing all my money except for one dollar and fifty cents. At that time, I read an article from a professional player named Chris Ferguson who made 10 thousand dollars just from freerolls. It took him a couple months just to get about ten dollars and after about a year( Can't remember) , he completed the challenge.

After reading that article, I was so inspired that I decided to do a similar challenge; except I would do it with just 1 dollar and 50 cents. After grinding out the micro cash games, tournaments and countless sit n gos; I finally moved up to the higher stakes. After reading books, online articles , watching videos, reviewing countless hands and observing how people play early, middle and late game; I finally made it to 10k in profits from just sit n gos. ( Actually I'v made a lot more because Sharkscope doesn't keep track of cash games, fpps, and BOP Promotions. I also won a 5 thousand dollar ticket into the WCOOP main event). Maybe I'll set a couple new challenges for me in the future. Till then, gotta finish the last week of school and then I can actually start playing for real.
