Default Help Me Out BBV

I have a bet with my roommates that I can't turn $40.00 into $400.00 in a weekend (48 hr period). I think I am definitely a favorite in this bet (even money), but I am unsure about what exactly the best way to approach it is.

I'm thinking about playing the $5 Stars 4 person NLHE HUSNGS until I hit $150.00, and then playing the $10 4 person NLHE HUSNGS until I get to the $400.00

A bit risky at first with ~8 buy-ins, but I think I have enough of an edge in those games (the play is pretty awful, IMO), where I'll definitely be able to win one before I go busto, and each win essentially buys you three more chances.

Is this the most efficient way to do it? I'm a better 6-max player than HU, but it just doesn't seem like the cash games are a good way to approach this type of bet. Thanks for any replies.

Haha, you may be right, but I'm not taking any more action on it.
