The Idea

Posted by: Jake  //  Category: General

So I have a new project for myself. I’m thinking it will be so much fun I’ve started a new special blog just to follow it, which you are reading now. I’m going to see if I can start with zero money and play online poker to $60,000 in winnings. That’s right–no deposits at all. I’m going to start with nothing and see if I can make a cool 60K.

I originally thought to do $50K, but my wife said zero to sixty sounded better. (Although I think she really just wanted ten more grand.)

Of course the first question is how to do this? Well, it’s definitely harder starting with zero. There is really only one way to do it: Win a freeroll tournament. These are generally daily affairs at poker rooms where it costs nothing to join, and then you fight it out with a few thousand other people to make something like five bucks. Growing from that $5 is most likely going to be easier than getting that first $5. But, then, that’s the challenge.

So that’s the goal. $60K via poker. Starting with nothing. Should be fun.
