The Online Poker Guy

Each Sunday there’s more than $1 million in combined guarantees up for grabs at Full Tilt Poker! Read below to find out more about their “Big Money Sundays.”

It starts with The Sunday Brawl, a knockout bounty poker tournament where $40 of your $240 + $16 buy-in goes to the “bounty pool.” This means you get $40 added to your account for every person you knockout of the tournament.

This tournament is followed by The $750,000 Guarantee. Play for the winner’s share of a prize pool guaranteed to be worth at least $750,000. Registration costs just $216 with satellites starting for as little as $2 + $.25. You can also win your way in using just 300 Full Tilt Poker points.

All of this is followed by The Sunday Mulligan poker tournament. If you happen to miss The $750,000 Guarantee tournament, or got knocked out early from it, you take a do-over and play in the Sunday Mulligan. Check out Full Tilt Poker for all the details.

Check out the Chris “Jesus” Ferguson challenge where he attempts to turn zero into $10,000 with nothing but a Full Tilt Poker account! He started by playing freerolls until he had enough to begin entering real money buy-in poker tournaments and cash games.

From there, Chris built up his bankroll by adhering to this strict set of guidelines: He never buys into a cash game or a Sit & Go with more than 5 percent of his total bankroll (there is an exception for the lowest limits: he is allowed to buy into any game with a buy-in of $2.50 or less). He doesn’t buy into a multi-table tournament for more than 2 percent of his total bankroll, but he’s 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 his total bankroll, he must leave the game when the blinds reach him.

Chris says, “This experiment isn’t about the money. It’s about showing how, with proper bankroll management, you can start from nothing and move up to the point where you’re playing in some pretty big games.”  He goes on to add, “I think a lot of players would do well to apply these rules. One great benefit from this approach to bankroll management is that it ensures you’ll be playing in games you can afford.”

Chris has pledged to donate his winnings to the Save the Children Foundation.
