I rolled it up fast and was raking over $100 a day easily. I raked $5,000 in 6 weeks and made top tier VIP before I ended up running the absolute worst in the biggest games. I made it down to like 10 people... dont try, it was hell LOL. I ended up tilting away/getting bad beat in games I had no business playing with my BR. IE $10-20 stud8 and 5-10 Lo8. I ended up losing over half of it back b4 I salvaged a cash-out. I say that to say, they suck you into raking a bunch and you get into the mindset that rake is the endgame. Play to extract some value from the promotion, but dont get tied down by it. just my 2 cents.
Wow, that's an awesome run!! I'm gonna stick with my personal rules of BRM which is not using more than 5% for a BI. Re-entries count as triple the actual buy-in and re-buys count as 5x the actual buy-in. So for a $1 re-entry I need a BR of $60, for a $1 re-buy I need a BR of $100. I'm starting with all the $1 and $2 tourneys, then when I have less than 5 of those going on I start signing up for SNGS. If I run through all the SNGs I want to play and have less than 5 tables I will add .02/.04 nl tables to keep the number of tables at 5. Since I'm playing a lot of MTTs, what makes my sessions so long is that I may earn the points within 2-3 hours, but it'll take me another 1-2 hours to finish up the MTTs I'm in.

Day 3 - 4.5 hour session to get my 50 points. Tomorrow it goes up to 75 points. Unfortunately the games weren't treating me too well so I ended the day with a BR of $140. However, I did win a $33 coupon that I will use tomorrow in a DON. The DON will count for 19 points, so that will help me reach the higher goal.
