You’ve got a roll. You’ve built discipline. Now it’s time to go from micro stakes grinder to small stakes crusher.
This is where the snowball starts rolling.
🔁 Step 1: Multi-Table for Volume
Once your fundamentals are sharp:
- Start playing 2–4 tables at once.
- Focus on Cash or MTTs, and keep freerolls in the mix.
- Volume matters now more than ever.
More tables = more chances to hit a score, as long as you don’t sacrifice quality.
💸 Step 2: Use Bankroll Spikes Wisely
Hit a R100 score? Congrats. Don’t move up yet.
New BRM rules:
| Game Type | Bankroll Needed |
|---|---|
| R35 MTTs | R3500 |
| R88 MTTs | R8800 |
| R99 MTTs | R9900 |
| R175 | R17500 |
You’re not taking shots—you’re building a roll to withstand swings.
🔍 Step 3: Deep Study + Review
At this level, it’s time to review hands using a tracker (PokerTracker or Holdem Manager, or GTO Wizard). Since you can’t use a HUD with PokerBet – you can record your games with a app like OBS studio.
Also, review final table spots, bubble spots, and hands where you could’ve gotten more value.
Recommended study:
- Watch twitch streamers like BencB, Spraggy, or Lex Veldhuis.
- Dive into poker strategy videos on YouTube(lots of free content).
- Join the South African Poker Community Discord or chat poker in our forum.
🎯 Final Goal:
- Hit R100, then R250, then R1,000.
- From there, it’s all about volume and consistency.
- Eventually… R10K is just a matter of time.
🎉 Final Words
This challenge isn’t about luck. It’s about:
- Patience
- Correct decisions
- Smart game selection
- Mental toughness
- Tiny edges over thousands of hands
Chris Ferguson showed us it was possible. Now you’ve got the roadmap.
And the best part? Even if you don’t hit R10K, you’ll come out way ahead—in skills, in discipline, and with a story that most poker players never finish.
