Ok, its now sunk in that i have a mamouth task.
I was planning to get my bankroll to around $650, before moving to the $0.25-$0.50 tables, but I may well run out of time.

I therefore have three options
1. Make say, $50 on the $0.10-$0.20 tables then move straight up to the $0.25-$0.50 tables and so on until I hit $1200 or go broke.
2. Play a few tornys and hope i get a big payoff on one of them. (I don't usually play tornys as i don't have time to sit around for hours at a time)
3. Find a magic lamp, hope a genie pops out and wish for $1,200, a holiday to Cuba, and a bigger dining room (cause the wife wants to do more entertaining)
