I'm not a big numbers guy when it comes to certain areas of the game, such as how well I am REALLY doing when it comes to my sessions and bankroll. I know my last few have been pretty good. When you guys look at these numbers what do you think? Any comments are appreciated

According to the image, you've played about 14 hours at 25 hands/hour (1.76/43.93 ~= 25), for a total of around 350 hands. It would be difficult to make a determination about your skill with such a small sample size. I'm no expert live player, but I would guess that 43.93 BB/hour in live poker is not a sustainable win rate, and that your true win rate is lower than that. Good work on your wins so far; just be prepared if your win rate drops down to a more realistic level as your sample size increases.

Yes, you are running good. Your sample size is way too small to determine much.

Solid win rates for NL range from 5 bb/hr (big blinds/hour) for a very good player, to 7-10 bb/hr for experts, to up to 15 bb/hr for true masters (maybe, not sure about anyone claiming higher than 10).

For limit you are looking for 1-2 BB/hr (Big Bets/hour) for a solid winning player/expert.
