For those that know me, you will know that ever since February of this year I have taken a keen interest in Poker and have been playing online quite a bit since then in an attempt to grind out some extra income. I have been quite successful too, accruing no less than $800 on two poker sites, Ladbrokes.com and Green Joker Poker but I recently became quite worried when I started playing Blackjack, sometimes at up to $120 a hand! Thanks to some exceptionally good fortune, I managed to turn what was a $700 loss within 20 minutes into a $150 profit before the hour was up. I got lucky, very lucky and have decided to withdraw all my money from my account and into my savings account where I can’t touch it!

I still wanted to play poker though and was intrigued to learn of poker pro Chris Ferguson’s Zero-Hero challenge where he is attempting to turn zero into $10,000 within a year. Such a challenge appealed to me because it would allow me to really hone my poker skills and any money earned would be an added bonus as I can’t really complain if I lose a portion of my bankroll when my only investment has been time and I like any hobby, I don’t mind investing time if my return is entertainment and enjoyment and I enjoy playing poker and feel this challenge would help me continue to carry on enjoying poker!

Chris Ferguson had no choice but to start by playing freerolls to start his bankroll, but I decided to search for a poker site which would be favourable to my challenge and found VC Poker who have a $10 no deposit required bonus, they also run many cheap MTT’s starting from as little as 60c and run their own freerolls in addition to the ones that the iPoker network offers. I figured that this site would be ideal to start off on as it would allow me to play many exclusive lucrative MTTs against soft opposition.

I intend on updating my site weekly with reports on my progress. I have no timelimit on my challenge and don’t mind grinding a small profit in the micro-stakes cash tables if I think it is the best way given my bankroll! So wish me luck in my endeavour and I’ll report back this day week!
