July 29th I started 50nl with $1500 BR. Right now I'm sitting on ~$2100. So it is fairly achievable and if you put forth any decent amount of effort you will be able to do this is well under a year imo. I'm fairly sure I will be at 200nl by April or so next year, and I expect to make platinum either this month or next for sure.
Gratz on your achievement. To pull off something like that in about 2 months or so, you need to have certain poker skills you already have developed prior to doing this. Either that or you have an incredible learning curve.

It's completely possible for players who already know what they are doing to pull this off in a year (going from super micro to constant platinum). I was referring to total noobs who just started, as most people who start for the first time online are. Sure there are exceptions to that who have a strong live background n can do great online right off the bat, but thats not the case for most.

I just think a noobie trying to improve his game is better off not doing 40k hands a month but rather doing a lot less than that and spending the rest of the time studying/thinking on how he can improve and trying to implant that into his game.
