RAI$E Status Revisited

I think I miscalculated how quickly I would move up to the next RAI$E level. I did another test run of 6-tabling 50NL shortstacked with 50BB per table.  I'm up a little more, to $583, and I'm definitely clearing UB Points at about the clip I expected, and clearing bonus as expected, but I think I got confused as to the amount of RAI$E Status point I would clear.  I cleared about 473 UB Points and 157 RAI$E Points, and $10 in bonus, and probably around $15 in rake, (but it's hard to calculate) in my 1.5 hour/856 hand experiment tonight.  At that rate, I would just barely clear 2500 RAI$E points in 24 hours of play, which is below my original estimate, but I could still get to Legend status.  Icon would be impossible without moving up in stakes.   I could maintain Contender with about 6 hours of play.

I think it's still the right choice though, unless something goes disasterously wrong and I lose a bunch of flips in a row.
