I played 0.25/0.50 NL hold'em on 4 tables to clear the required raked hands. You don't need to contribute to the pot to get a raked hand but the pot must rake a minimum of 0.25 though....but it takes only a few days anyway. Then I played on more aggresive tables 5-10 NL hold'em to get the money. It sounds easy, but obviously the second part is the most difficult one.
