Carbon Poker $0 to $10,000 Challenge

I just started the $0 to $10k Challenge yesterday 4/25/13 on Carbon Poker. Screen Name: KattZKorner.
(Feel free to add me)

I will be playing many of the Poker Owned Freerolls along with daily Poker.org Freerolls and some Funs Steps on occasion.

Recent Cashes: (since starting the challenge)

In the 9pm $45 Poker Owned free roll on 4/25, I placed 7th earning $2.80.

I just played and won "The Nuts Poker Forum $10 Freeroll on 4/26 starting at 3pm, earning $4.00. So within 24 hours, I have went from $0 to $6.80 in my bankroll with 2 top 10 cashes.


-Here are the rules as originally used by Chris Ferguson: (I will do my best not to deviate from this)

: Never buy into a cash game or a Sit & Go with more than 5 percent of your total bankroll (there is an exception for the lowest limits: You're allowed to buy into any game with a buy-in of $2.50 or less).
: Never buy into a multi-table tournament for more than 2 percent of my total bankroll but you are 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 your total bankroll, you must leave the game when the blinds reach you.


While I already had about $30 in my player account already, it will not be used for the challenge. I will make sure to keep that calculated separate from my challenge winnings. I will keep regular updates on my status. Good luck all!

Just finished 8th in the 6pm $40 Poker Owned Freeroll to earn another $1.60.

I'm now up too $8.40 in Freeroll earnings in the last 24 hours. Gonna keep Grindin'

Good Luck on challenge. It will be fun watching your progress. I have watching Donka with his challenge.

I went from $0 to 10,000 bad beats in RECORD time!

Thanks Aces...Yea, I've played with Donka a fee times and read one of his post and that's what inspired me on this.

Oooops! I typed something wrong...I meant the daily Poker Owned freerolls and the weekend Poker.org tourney. Poker.org doesn't have daileys

Good luck in your quest and I am with Aces and will be keeping up with your progress, its nice to see someone set out to achieve a goal of this magnitude.

Thanks for the support!

good luck on the challenge

update me on your process!!!!

gl all its much better to have a goal to move up towards than trying to play not to loose.. I always get stuck around the whole numbers, 100 was big and then bounced around 300 for a while and finally switched sites and seeing zero again in new account gave me a new goal and now up to 100. its all mental, dont let it change the way you play looking at your account every few min... are you making good poker decisions is all you need to worry about.

Good luck on the challenge, hope u make it strong and the $10k

GL, we have a few of these threads going now, hopefully we see success. I got a $0 to Hero going for bovada now.

Good start. Keep it up. Good starting roll considering you started with zero.

lol I won the Nuts last week and was in like 3rd with 3 left this week and had to leave - shoved A4s with Like $20k left - I cant remember if it was you on the BB with A10s or toher guy - but that tourneys fun. #6 or so from them so far.

I would have a better chance going from $10,000 to zero.

good luck man hope to see ya reach ur goal!! keep grindin away!

good luck.

FYI it is not the same as ferguson though cuz he played freerools where like 125 out of 5k+ won money

u r basically buying unlimeted entries to very small freerolls and building a quick roll that way.

but still would be a hell of an achievment good luck along your trek!

I;ll be at the final table waiting on ya lol

Let us know how you do in this tournament

Good Luck with your quest. Right now you are at that exciting beginning where you are picking up freeroll and low buy in money. Soon though you are going to have to move up in stakes because at $6 a day it will take a long time to get to 10 grand. What that guy who stole Full Tilt Players money does not mention is that as you increase your stakes you run into better players. It did not bother him because he has the skill level to blow through those players. But at some point you will hit a wall. You may even lose your money. When that happens don't get discouraged. Just drop back to a level you are comfortable with. That goes for both stakes and number of games you are playing.

I just dont see how ANYONE can do this with the variance at the lower levels, how does anyone get past the bad beats to build?

Update on progress: Since yesterday I have increased my bankroll from $8.40 to $15.67, winning $7.27 in a $0.02/$0.04 NL Cash game with a $2.00 buy in.

Also BIG BREAK: Today I played in the $10K VIP Coupon Prize tournament. I just finished after 4 1/2 hours of play, going out in 23rd out of 3,502 to win a $109 Tournament voucher to any tournament of my choice. This could potential be HUGE! We shall see...

I think I'm planning on playing one of the $109 Poker Maximus Main Events with Deep Stack. Attachment 1682

Progress Update: I am now up to $23.26 bankroll since starting the Challenge.

Very nice, you are of to a good start. Are you going to use the $109 for the PM main event?

Katz, I had a 109 ticket before, and used to and placed in 6th for over $300. It can definitely help you out, just be careful with it, and not jump up stakes too quickly.

I am registered for the Poker Maximus #52 Main Event $50K GTD as of right now...$109 Entry
