Challenge: Beating Micro Rush, playing LAG, with 50$

As title says - My challenge is to play LAG micro Rush tables, opposite to other players, who are nits, in best case TAGs and fish and see - if I can beat micro with this style as it is suggested to play TAGish in this level.
Background: Nothing special - I'm 21, I live in Latvia, in country side. Turned 20$ in 1000$+ nitting/TAGing from NL2 at Poker Stars and Full Tilt in 2 months time, playing part-time, then variance hit and cashed out 700$ while I was playing NL25, to pay bills and help familly out with money, also bought phone
. My family was in money problems. Now I lost my job(Company gone bankrupt), so now I have a lot of free time.
Took 2 months off from serious poker. Did serious study on poker. My main aim in these studies was to learn - hand reading skills, non-showdown winnings to go up not down and psychology and to be tilt-prone.
Now I deposited back my last 50$(Yes I know that I am underrolled, but I don't have any more money left) to make my way up agains.
My Plan:
For 10NL - 20BI roll to move up from 5NL;
For 25NL - 30BI roll to move up from 10NL;
Challenge compleated - when I have 40BI for 50NL.
Analyze stats of other people and read more poker related materials.
I will play:
5 days a week(Monday-Friday);
2 tabling rush first 3 days for total of 2K hands a day*;
3 tabling rush after first 3 days for total of 3K hands a day*;
4 tabling rush after 1 week* 3-5K(Based on health) hands a day*.
*- This is because I need to get back in the game.
I will post:
After each session - results;
After each week - pictures of weekly(and total) graph;
When I feel to it.
Well ok, while I was setting up the HUD for Rush I played a little, because HEM does not work so well and I am trialing Poker Tracker 3 as it works much better for Rush. So now it is not 50$, but 77$.
Here are some pictures of how I play and my account ballance for my starting balance and stats how I tend to play:
*Won another 8$, setting up HUD with HEM.
Will start monday.

Thanks,
It is most probably variance.
But looking back - I had 59% after 80K hands in Rush, when I played more board than villain, now I will try to do the opposite - first villain, then board.
I hope that I will not go broke playing this way, with my limited bankroll.

Day 1: Tough Start
Today played the first day with stats 21/19/8(LAG) as promised. It was a hard day, due to lot of beats. Rearly I had any good hand, and if I had something till turn, then villain got something better on river, meh, like this:
Full Tilt Poker $0.02/$0.05 No Limit Hold'em - 9 players
The Official 2+2 Hand Converter Powered By DeucesCracked.com
Hero (MP2): $5.27
CO: $4.95
BTN: $3.56
SB: $5.00
BB: $3.93
UTG: $6.24
UTG+1: $4.45
UTG+2: $2.00
MP1: $5.20
Pre Flop: ($0.07) Hero is MP2 with T
T
UTG raises to $0.20, 3 folds, Hero calls $0.20, 4 folds
Flop: ($0.47) 4 5 9 (2 players)
UTG bets $0.25, Hero calls $0.25
Turn: ($0.97) T
(2 players)
UTG bets $0.50, Hero raises to $1.50, UTG calls $1
River: ($3.97) A
(2 players)
UTG bets $3.35(Hero goes - FUUUUUUUUUUUUUU, because he is 90% shure that nit has AA), Hero requests TIME, Hero calls $3.32 all in, because hero sucked and wanted to see those aces.
And all sesion long, set against straight on the river, or set vs set, or lost KK against QQ(pre-f), AA against 1010(pre-f). But moastly, I am quite pleased about the way I played, made few mistakes, but for a start this is ok I think.
Results for the day:
Hands: 1,748
Profit: +8.42$
EV adjusted: ~19$
Total bankroll: 84,72$(Used 0,9$ to play in the sattelite, anyway won)

Did not play on level A+, more rather on B, made few mistakes again, but bit less than yesterday, so a little progress.
Results for the day:
Hands: 826
Profit: +11,53$
EV adjusted: +~19$

Good for you with your patient approach. 3 days is so small I wouldn't let your -ev worry you. You are doing well keep a cool head and you will be soaring in no time!

I decided to take a break till monday, will fetch a beer today, tomorrow will analyze my play, to get cool again after all the beats.
1st weeks grap:
The All-in EV is way off, because I found out that it does not show when I was in 3-way all-in pot and somwhere is mising ~6$ dollars.
I'm happy at least that my red line goes up.
