Ok, seeing as there is no threads started on tournament let me tell you a little story. A few years ago i started playing poker and didnt know anything about the game. I first played Texas Hold'em on a Live 12 man sit and go with 10 bucks buy-in, rebuy tournament. If I remember correctly I came in 3rd and cashed something like 90 bucks and became very fascinated by the game, started reading anything I could find from Doyle's Super System to Dan Harrington's on Hold'em. I also began 1 tabling sit and go's online with a deposit of 10 bucks. After a while I went bust, Then one night with a 0 dollar account I had the urge for some online sit and go's (Good ol' days), so I tell my brother, "do you have any money on your account?" And he tells me "I have 0.96 cents, want them?", let's go, 45-man 0.25 just to kill some time. From there I went on to build an 1800 dollar bankroll in 2 weeks.

 

  Of course after a while I cashed out a large chunk of the money and played with the rest, but like many rookies I still lacked the bankroll management skills necessary to keep that bankroll raising, started playing out of the bankroll limits and downed the account again. Fast forward to all the knowledge I have today about cash games and I'm still faschinated by this incredible 0 to 10000 dollar challenges players like Chris Ferguson are able to acomplish, thanks to freeroll tournaments. With that in mind I started playing tournaments again after a long while and realised how good of a training it is to be an all around player, so I want to propose a bet to motivate myself to accomplish something like this on a minor scale (I'm not saying I'm Chris Ferguson quite yet people)  From 0 to 2000 in 2 months and the terms are the next: I can play anything from MTTs, Sit and Go's, HU tourney's or cash once I start making money on the account. I get 25 tries to go bust and keep freerolling out. I can multi-table 4 tourneys max and 8 cash tables, I gotta be able to buy-in to 25 freerolls on the account I'm playing on when I first begin (No FPP needed to play or an account wich already has the neccesary FPP). If I make the 2000 before or within the 2 months (60 days to be precise) the taker has to pay 300, if I lose I'll pay 200, the figures are of course negotiable but the challenge as is. Any takers?
