Quest for Cash: A Reason to Blog (Finally)

Recently, I was reading a new poker book (shocking) called "Aces and Kings" which covers a different famous player in each chapter. In the section on Chris "Jesus" Ferguson the book metioned he deposited $1 in an online poker account and- without ever risking more than 10% of his bankroll- he ran it up to $10K over the span of a couple of months.

Wow.

First of all, for a player of Ferguson's mettle to be grinding out pots in a 0.01-0.02 game is just a sick waste of time. But I guess if you're not shaving or getting haircuts, you have a few spare minutes a day. But second, and more importantly, this seemed like a supreme challenge. A veritable Everest for the point, click and curse set.

OK, so now I have a purpose: try to replicate this feat. And you, dear imaginary reader, can come along for the ride.
