Beating the game and Moving Up
I see a lot of posts and interviews by pros and other players saying that they are beating the cash game or limit that they are playing at. I have been a SNG grinder and have beating them for 20% ROI on Stars up to $22 limit, but I have been wanting to branch out into more NL cash. I have started playing NL25 2-3 tabling making about 6-10 an hour over 20000 some hands between full ring and 6-max.
I am curious as to everybodys thoughts on these to questions?
1. What bb/100 or avg. per hour would be considered beating a 6-max or full ring game?
2. If bankroll is not a factor, how long should you be beating game to move up (number of hands or months)?
I know many pro's suggest about 30 buyins for a level, but if that is the case I shoud be playing at least 2/4 NL.
I'm sure other might have similiar questions and any suggestions would be appreciated.

I think this suggestion is based on the assumption that you got to 2/4 and built your bankroll by grinding it out at $25NL and up. I don't think jumping into cash, even if you're rolled for it, at 400NL is a great idea.
But since you are rolled, I'd say you are probably ok with moving up levels faster than someone who didn't have a roll.
I only have about 20k hands at 200NL (which really isn't all that much) but its goin well, so I'm reaching a bit and playing 400NL (reaching = 1 table 400nl, and the rest still 200NL). There's no harm in reaching higher, and if you have trouble just dropping back down.
