    Turning $100 into $10,000 is fractionally 1/100, so turning $1 into $100 should be the same heroic feat? Which do you think would be harder to do? Assuming if you go busto, you cant reload. obv $1 into $100 sounds waaay easier, but is it?

    no, it's way harder, cause there aren't any games you can play with good bankroll management, so you need more luck to turn $1 into $100

    BS .10 360 mans would be good enough to start with, even if its only 10 buy-ins

    i def think it would be a little more challenging, esp if u take 1/100 of the max buyin boku did, which would mean the largest buyin u could play in would be $1.60. not enough turbos, couldnt play as many games in the short amount of time etc..

    i'm currently on a run right now on cake poker where I played a freeroll on there, won a couple bucks in that, and in the past month have run it up over $600. have never made a deposit on there.

    It's a tough feat indeed, but not nearly as tough, because the games are harder at the top end when you are trying to get to $10k. In any event, it's a great project for any broke player willing to put in the time.

    Jennifear - What exactly would you suggest to begin something like this, i mean i think once you hit the $20ish range it would be cake, but getting to that point would be the hardest imo...

    Starting with $1 would be somewhat problematic. I still would like my chances.

    Starting with $2, seems like easy money, since they have $0.25 45 and 90 man.

    I will do the $1 to $100 if I get 3-1 my $25 vs your $75.

    cuz the skill requirement to beat levels to get to $100 is very very small

    and also common sense...
    its gonna be easier to get to $100 then it is $1000 then it is to $10k then to 100k then to $1million etc etc

    It's a lot easier to go busto at first if you're only starting with $1, but if you manage to run good the first few times you play it is really quite easy to turn it into $100. The same concept does not even begin to apply when turning $100 into $10,000.

    It is easier to turn $1 into $100, but it is more certain to turn $100 into $10000.

    You might go broke starting at $1, but you would never go broke starting at $100

    I've been trying, so far turned less than a buck into 9.50. it's a grind for sure but as long as you don't get bored and go nutty, I think it's do able, in a reasonable amount of time.

    If you have a set amount of time like 15 days then turning $1 into $100 is infinitly easier than $100 to $10k which should be common sence I would think... especially with the 2NL cash games and 10 cent sngs, but I guess if you have unlimited time on your hands $100 to 10k is pretty easy too for a good player
