For those of you interested in the various online challenges I have discussed in previous posts, Full Tilt offers a tournament that makes for a good beginning.
Firstly, the challenges I have referred to are the Chris Ferguson and Daniel Negreanu challenges where they are taking nothing, as in the case of Ferguson or a couple bucks, as with Negreanu, and turning it into tens of thousands of dollars using smart bankroll management.
Full Tilt has a tournament every day at 8:15 p.m e.s.t. where for just $1 you can win a share of $10k. The reason this is a good tournament for those interested in the challenge is for several reasons. First, it only costs one dollar. Or, you can use Full Tilt points that you accumulate from playing on the site. It doesn't take many points or much to accumulate enough to play in the tournament therefore, you can enter for next to nothing.
The other cool thing about it, as far as the challenges go, is that it pays out to just over the top one thousand entrants. Now that's a lot of pay spots. Keep in mind that there are usually over nine thousand entrants, so it is a pretty thick field to get through. However, the structure makes it quite viable to finish in the money.
You will not become rich playing this tournament. I have entered it several times and have finished in the money most times. However, it takes a very long time and usually the payoff is small. To give you an idea, my best finish was 30th and I made $20. That was after seven hours! Pretty crazy I thought. However, it didn't cost me anything, and would work well towards building a beginning stack for the challenge.
If any of you are interested, give it a shot and let me know how it goes. Especially, if you are trying the challenge out for yourself. Good luck!
