The Challenge

So.... I decided to do the "Jesus Challenge".

For those that don’t know, poker player Chris “Jesus” Ferguson did a thing where he started from $0 playing freerolls, and won his way up to $10000. Sticking to the following rules:

“To ensure that I keep my bankroll intact, I've adopted some key rules: I'll never buy into a cash game or a Sit & Go with more than 5 percent of my total bankroll (there is an exception for the lowest limits: I'm allowed to buy into any game with a buy-in of $2.50 or less). I won't buy into a multi-table tournament for more than 2 percent of my total bankroll and I'm allowed to buy into any multi-table tournament that costs $1. If at any time during a No-Limit or Pot-Limit cash-game session the money on the table represents more than 10 percent of my total bankroll, I must leave the game when the blinds reach me.”

I will be pretty much sticking to these rules, though I will be playing on Poker.co.uk (under the name CitrusSR) so it will be in Euros and the smallest sit n go is a €3 buy-in.

For more details on why I decided to do this, check out my post on the poker forum I frequent!

Anyway, that's about it, hope you enjoy reading! (If you ever come back :D)
