Back in 2006 I came up with a personal challenge. The idea was that I’d start with zero dollars on Full Tilt Poker with the intention of building it into a $ 10,000 bankroll. I really wanted to demonstrate to people the power of good bankroll management and what you can accomplish with it, because I know far too many poker players who don’t have it. They can be amazingly good players but a lot of them are broke, which is a real pity.

The fact of the matter is that there are no shortcuts to winning and rising through the ranks at poker.
