Default $500 $5 BR challenge has begun again

Don't know if people remember this, but a friend of mine and I are going until the end of June to see who can finish the month with a higher BR starting $5. Gonna do it on UB again. We both withdrew. He's a Pacific player as well and I'll be on Party/Empire only for regular play. We decided to start on Tuesday, so we both withdrew.

No one's allowed to reload. You go broke, you throw down the $500. Game over. If we're within $5 of each other, we put it all in a HU SnG against each other. I withdrew on Wednesday night and started tonight. I'm up to $9.22. I don't know where he's at or if he's started yet.

Well, it works better with 2 players because we change the emails of our accounts so $$$ transaction histories go to us to insure that no one reloads.

But if you wanna go in July after this is over for like $50, Marm, I'm down. I doubt you'd wanna go for $500. I've just got a lot of gamble in me.

We're doing the whole thing solely on UB and you can only play 3 tables at a time max. I won a $1 SnG, so I'm up to $13.22 in less than 24 hours. This is comfy enough to 2 table 01./.02NL. When I get to $20, I'll 3 table it. That's what I did last time and in 20 days, I got up to $40+ and my bro went B-roke being stupid.

See I did mine in low variance, mind wrenching .05/.10 limit games, 13,000 hands of it.... Now I'm playing the $5 3 table events (82% ROI right now) and 5 tabling .05/.10 NL games...

I have the confidence that all I need are 5 buy ins to profit in $1-$20 SnG's from past experiences. If I can mainitain a 30-35% ROI in $50 SnG's where there's the possibility of a really tight table where the blinds are too high to dance around at times if I can't build a stack early, I don't see a problem with $1 SnG's.

BTW, I'm at $24+ right now.

My $1 SnG's
1: 1/10 $5
2: 1/10 $5
3: 2:10 $3

$10/$3.30 All SnG's up to $50 are VERY soft on UB and their structure HEAVILY favors aggressors like myself.

In a little over 24 hours, I'm up to $29.30. I told my guy as I was lurking his table and he's at a measly $11+. He said, "Let's go the whole summer for $3k."

What do you guys say, should I? I'm tempted. I told him that I need to think about it and I'll tell him at a BBQ at a friend's house on Monday, so the poll will close after I give him my answer.
