Spinning up a 50nl+ roll from $37.16

Hey guys, long time lurker.
I was going to deposit $1k or something and just grind some 50nl and maybe some HUSNGs/Spin n Go's but as I had $37.16 left in my account I thought why not try and spin it up with some of the utterly worst BRM you've ever seen. I'm a bit of degen by trade so this thread could get interesting as I decide to move up the stakes. I'm primarily a HU player and have never really played 6 max cash (probably about 5k hands of zoom total) but I believe my post flop experience from HU gives me plenty of edge in games where people generally wait for aces and kings.
I started off by playing and winning a $15 HUSNG last night to give me a 1bi roll for 50nl and my shot went pretty will quickly turning it into 2bi before splitting the roll onto 2 tables and getting crushed pretty hard (lol sample size). Anyway, I was down to about $15 when this happened (I don't normally limp fwiw):
And I'm hopefully not looking back. Played a mix of 50nl, a few hands of 100nl and some 7s/15s/30s HUSNGs to get to where I am now ($300.22). I will be 3-4 tabling 50NL zoom, posting some cool hands and updating often. The main reason I've created this thread is for motivation for me to stick at it because cash can be fairly dull compared to SNGs/MTTs so lets see what happens.
