Okay, to set the scene.
I'm almost 19 and from the UK and been playing since my 18th birthday.
Twice now I've got my roll to 10k and withdrawn everything in order to pay for uni.

No I'm secure moneywise with a steady flow from a summer job too, I'm ready to start a proper grind from somewhat low stakes, playing sit and go's, and MTT's, of which a large amount will be the 180 mans on stars.

I've just deposited $500 and set my deposit limit to not let me deposit again, and I hopefully will never have to (except for reload bonuses).

Aims of the operation:

1. Primary goal - Reach 10k within a reasonable timeframe.

2. Build up those FPP's (I'm currently a SilverStar) in order to buy a few items on my wish list:

Items:
iPod Video (20000 points)
£250 gift certificate (30000 points and GoldStar needed)
Sharp 26" TV (50000 points and GoldStar)

3. Become a much better tournament player

4. Keep a blog updated

So it will begin.
I'll be grinding some $10+1 sit and go's and the $4.40 180 mans for the time being and see where it takes me.

Wish me luck!
