Pixelation 0 Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Chris Ferguson turned $1 into $20,000. But i think it took a lot longer than 3 months. Link to post Share on other sites

navybuttons 15 Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 If blinds didn't exist..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.

James D 0 Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Jesus turned water into wine... so turning $1 into $20,000 must have been easy. Link to post Share on other sites

quadaces 0 Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 I thought he turned $0 into $20,000. He started out playing freerolls Link to post Share on other sites
DoinSublime 0 Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 I thought he turned $0 into $20,000. He started out playing freerollsNo, 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. Link to post Share on other sites

Jam-Fly 8 Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 there was an article in Bluff (Europe?) a while back around xmas.Annie Duke deposited $1 for him on Ultimate Bet (not full tilt), and he lost it. He then asked her to do it again and he turned that into $20k. He never withdrew and it is still lying in the account.I think he tryed/is trying something similar on Full Tilt, but starting out playing free rolls Link to post Share on other sites
