How does the game play and what are you doing to exploit that?
I'd be surpried if you could sustain more than $20/hour.

well I just made $1500 in 3 sessions, I play pretty tight but aggresive when I hit my hands. I just bring one buy in ($200) per night and if I lose, I walk out the door. I normally play 1 - 3 nights per week.
I do not go in there looking to grind out the money with little pots, I go in there to double up and bust someone out then I normally leave. I am not greedy and happy to get out of there with twice my buy in.
games are loose, pretty passive here in Vancouver. Some real good semi pro players though.
I want to take my game to the next level though.

Hey! That´s an excellent advice! The best way, I think...

Bring 2 or 3 buy-ins and view it all as one big session.
I just focus on getting my money in good and leave when:
o I'm deep with another good or wreckless player.
o I'm tired or tilted
o The game goes bad
o Something else comes up

Playing with just 1 buy in can really limit your game. Fnord is right, 2-3 buy ins is more like it.
There have been a lot of times recently where I was playing well and getting my money in when ahead, but losing a big hand and having to rebuy. After the rebuy I ended up with 3-4 buy ins. Taking 1 beat should not stop you if the table/game is good that particular night. Just depends on your situation I guess.

A rule of thumb is to steal 4BB every 3 orbits on a tight table. On loose table make the reraise steal about once every 3 orbits.
I think the dealing speeds average around 60 hans per hour in casinos so that means you should aim for 8BB per hour in steals netting a small profit of 1-2BB per hour on a tough table or more on a weak table.
If you're a winning player you should win more than 50% of your total sessions. Around 75% is very good. I don't think keeping track on a weekly basis is a good idea because a swing can be discouraging. Just do the best you can to find easy tables and win the pots your involved.
