Think I'm just a little nervous about taking a shot @ the big NL game buts that where I want to be. I want to make at least $300 a day semi-consistenly.
I'm not trying to put you off, but you need to be aware how little your result over 10 hours actually means, and how variable your income at it is likely to be.
It depends vastly on how your table plays, but over 10 hours you could easily see swings of $500-$1000 on a table like that through no fault of your own because of suck-outs and missed draws. Winning $200 in a session pretty well proves nothing - you could just as easily have been a losing player who was running hot.
Plus, even if $20/hour is your real run rate (which is plausible I guess), your income won't come in as a nice steady $200 a day, it will be: win $300, lose $400, win $100, win $700, lose $200, win $400 etc.
Finally, I'm guessing not many newbies will be sitting in 8-16 full kill game. Sitting in the game, were you able to spot the weak players? If not, why do you think you have an edge against them? Or were they sitting there thinking "I hope this new guy comes back tomorrow?"
Again, not trying to put you off, just making sure you've thought this through.
