I didn't say it would be quick or give a timeline, probably take me 3-4 months if everything goes absolutely perfect(never going to happen). I ran a 300 balance to a bankroll where I was rolled for 2/4 with shot-taking 3/6 from Christmas to the beginning of May but that was like 100 hours a month of play with some serious study outside of that.
I am not going to go crazy, I get way to stressed out when I put in tons of hours as I have a day job and I still need sleep and time for other fun. I don't have a family or much responsibility though so that helps a lot. I consider 1-2 midstakes, so somewhere between 10k and 15k would be enough for me to start taking shots there depending on how soft the game is on a particular day.
My winrate will go up as I as I go up in stakes due to better rake as well so it will go faster the higher I go. This isn't a race for me, I will be taking my time and won't be seriously grinding. I don't consider myself a savant, there are a ton of people on this forum better than me. (sorry if I'm being overly defensive, if you think the PGC thread is a bad idea then maybe I'll scratch it.)
