About me:
I am a 31 year old from the UK. I have been playing poker semi seriously for around 5 - 6 years. I am currently gainfully employed in the British Armed forces but have only 2 weeks left to serve before I become a "civi" after serving 12 years. I will be working full time once I leave the forces in Bristol but I intend to continue to play poker as much as possible in my spare time.
My time is the forces has been great and has given me the opportunity to travel to places I would never dreamed of going had I not joined but that part of my life is now coming to an end and its time for a new chapter.

The challenge:
As I am now on "leave" until I leave i intend to do a bit of grinding. I have signed up to betfair to take part in a rake race on another site and though I am under no illusion that the stakes I am playing will probably not allow me to get on to the leaderboard for the rake race I am willing to give it a shot anyway just for the fun.

I have a 200% deposit bonus to grind through anyway and anything extra is a just a bonus.

So I guess my first challenge here is to grind through the bonus then take it from there.

I have started with a 300 euro deposit on betfair ($379) and will start at the 0.05/0.10 stakes with the intention of moving on up when I hit 400 euros.
I will be playing mostly speed poker so will probably have to mix in a few 0.02 and 0.05 tables too.
I normally 9 - 12 table though I will stick with 8 maximum on speed poker until I get a feel for the site.

After this challenge I will most likely make more challenges in the future which will be mostly rakeback orientated I think but for now my intention is to smash through this bonus.

I will post giraffes and hands as I go and will try to keep posting after each session if possible.

starting bankroll: $379 (300 euro)
