How did Chris Fergusson turn $600 into $13,800 in one month? It took him 7 months to turn $100 into almost $1,000 and now all of a sudden he makes this crazy jump in profits (Type in Yahoo Chris Ferguson´s Challenge to take you to his site on Full Tilt) . I am getting a little bit tired of hearing these weird stories about people turning a shitty bankroll of hundreds into 5 figures in 1-2 months. People like Brian "sbrugby" Townsend and Tom "durrr" Dwan come to mind. I also read on his bio in his new website that Patrik Antonius did a similar thing turning $200 into $20,000 in two months .Chris Fergusson project was believable until the middle of July but this crazy jump just makes me scratch my head. Yeah I know he is a Pro when years and years of experience in poker, but even Fergusson was making steady progress in small increments not crazy jumps in profits until a month ago. Can you please tell if he has changed his strategy so perhaps I could what he does? I have built my bankroll from $50 to $1,000 playing and bonus whoring in 7 months and will really like to see my bankroll grow faster.

It started on 4/06. It took him 7 months to turn $1 into $100 and then about another 7 to get to $1000.
As you can see below he went from about $1500 to like $9000 in about 1 month and then up to where he is now in a bit less than half a month. Winning a large MTT and/or going on a run of high cashes will do that for you. Note that he stuck to very strict bankroll guidelines while doing this.

That's the ticket. I'm pretty sure that's what happened to Antonius as well.
Given the nature of the challenge, lets assume Jesus could crush $400NL. A sick run through $100 and $200 NL, then a fair run of cards at $400 could do this easy because he's able to move up aggressivly without needing to figure out the next level.

on a bit of a side note...i'd be interested in seeing the really good high stakes cash players around here play 100nl/200nl for like 50k-100k hands and see if they annihilate the game or not.
