It's great that you're starting your own challenge too, I wish you every success.
However, we have different approaches to this. I will almost exclusively play at the cash game tables because I'm simply better there than in tournaments, and the variance isn't quite as high either.
My main goal is definitely to move up to the NL50 tables this year, but to do that I want to have a bankroll of $1,000.-

On Sundays, however, I've decided to always spend a day playing tournaments. I just hope I don't lose too much of what I've won in cash games before.
But maybe I'll get lucky and manage a deep run sometime, who knows?

I've already earned a $109 ticket with the Power Path promotions, and I still have three $55 step 4 tickets, so maybe I can use them to earn another $109 ticket.

I wish you continued success.
