The "Jesus Challenge"

[KarmaDope]

In the poker goals for 2008 thread, I stated that one of my goals was to attempt the "Jesus Challenge".

Well, I've decided that I'm gonna do it, and start on January 1, 2008.

Updates can be found at my blog (link is in my sig) but I was wondering what you guys thought would be the best site to do it on?

Im attempting something similar on Party. Was given $25 on 25/11/07 by the site with a 150 point clearance by 25/12/07. Started using it at $25 buy in PLO8 (all 'roll on 1 table!) and going by a 10  buy in rule before moving up, so need to get to $500 before going onto $50 tables. Currently on 135 points $200+, so going steady

If you start with VC Poker then you can get $10 for free and another $10 as a bonus offer. Don't know of any other site that gives free money with no deposit, but if there is let me know as I have a reasonable roll on VC for free.

I'm doing something similar on P*kerSt*rs. $3 is now $309. Micro stakes awful!

is it possible to open 2 accounts and play on different platforms at the same time,you could multitable and if 1 account suddenly shoots ahead of the other you could just play under  that account to reach your target, i dont see it breaking any of the rules you have set yourself ,it could save a bit of time m8

Yeah, who says you can't play multiple sites or change sites half way through.

Start at whichever site has the best freerolls / opening offer.

Once you get $50-$100, move to whereever has the appropriate limits.

Seriously though. If you do $100 to $10,000 rather than $0 to $10,000 you have achieved as much without the painstaking freerolling you need to start with. Who wants to play for a month or 2 for $100?

You have a point there Rich...I hadn't even thought about that! I had originally planned to just open an account where I could get decent rakeback.

As for doing $100 to $10,000...I don't have $100 at the moment! If I had...then I definitely would, because the freeroll part is the least exciting part of the whole challenge.

Thanks for this, I'll have a look at VC!

Elaborate Dewi? They got any decent starting offers?

If anybody else knows of any other sites with decent offers (and yes Kev, I already know about the LOYALTY SCHEME) then feel free to mention them to me, thanks!

Takes away the hardest part of the challenge imo if you do that. Can't call it the Jesus challenge then.

No way is it the hardest part. It is however the most time consuming, boring, least productive. His 1st challenge didn't start from $0, so it could just be a hybrid Jesus challenge and as it isn't actually Ferguson doing it, it's sharplea and he can 'edit' it if he wants

Blue square... they have freeroll sit and goes running constantly. for 1st place and so on.

What I am doing is playing on a crypto site playing the Double Your Money 6 or 10 seater STT's, which also give you 30% rake on a weekly basis and building up from there, can be done very quickly then as well..

I tired the bsq way from freeroll and got p off when i built up to 4$ and did not cash in 3 $1 stt, so started on the other one, as i could nto be bothered to start again on the freerolls..
