Your chances of success are very close to 0. You dont really have as much experience as you think and are probably not as proficient as you think. "i have beaten some games for over 8bb/100 over a 30-50k hand stretch before" this pretty much says you have very little experience. Anyone can win 8bb/100 over a 50K stretch by simply getting lucky.
Also with a bankroll of 2000$ you can pretty much play 50NL at max (kind of iffy if you want to make a living on this roll). But at this game you cant really expect to make anywhere close to 15K in 3 months.
Tbh I would focus on getting better and first getting yourself a record of beating the games over the long run. I dont know you but the line you quoted before leads me to believe you might be a long term losing player (otherwise why not quote results over say 200K hands instead of just small samples?). After that set yourself a goal for winning at a higher rate and then move up.
Poker is a marathon, not a sprint. But too many people try to make it into a sprint by setting themselves short term goals like these.
I used the 50k hand sample because over 300k - 1m hands i definitely cannot obtain a 8 or greater bb/100 rate.
I would really like to be able to beat the games for over 8bb/100 for the next 3 months!
