Default A bankroll from nothing

Well thats the new challenge im giving myself.

Im going to try and make a bankroll from literally nothing.

I have 90c in my account at pokerstars since selling 100,000 play chips, and am nearing my next 100,000 to sell for another 90c, not a lot but small amounts will hopefully build up to a big one!

Im posting this in aid to hopefully show people how a bankroll can come from play money or various other means. I know I might get flamed for asking for money... BUT its a small risk really since I would like to ask anyone who would support this challenge to donate $1, just $1 to me on pokerstars.

If you arent interested then thats fine, im not asking for alot and I suspect that many wont be interested in giving just $1.

I will still persue with this challenge regardless of the outcome of this thread, Id like to be able to really get to 5c10c level of playing from a bankroll built from play money.

Good Luck. I built a BR as a challenge between a friend and myself for who could build the biggest starting from a buck. He's on Titan, and I'm on AP. I have $189.16 so far.

It's fun and challenging - Good Luck.

I started my bankroll from play money. I've never deposited anywhere, only withdrawn from stars. Pretty sweet deal.

Min amount you can take to a limit holdem 0.02/0.04 table on pokerstars is 0.20 .. you have 0.90 ... why are you still playing with play money and begging?

No Limit is totally different.

You need at least $1. I should of made myself clearer.

Im not begging for money in anyway. I have only asked once for a $1 donation and dont wish to bring it up again.
