if you can and do make e.g. 10BB/100 in NL at level X, when you move up you need to continue making 10BB/100 to double in the same time. Every time you step up, it becomes less likely that you can earn at the same rate.

There was a thread in here once about how you'd quickly become a billionaire if you could add 5% to your BR every month. This ignores a kind of obvious problem: you can't.
This is interesting. I think (and UltimateGeorge thinks) that I am setting my goals too LOW.

This is because the NL Ring at Party Poker is so crushable right up to 1/2 that it isn't even funny. When I was on my staking deal playing $25 NL at Party Poker I made $600 in 2 weeks, and I had my fair share of bad beats during that time. It is just so damn easy.

The only thing is I can see myself taking frigging forever to get up to $375 playing the .05/.10 at Poker Stars.

So, I think if anything, my goals should be even higher. Of course I will have the bad runs, I will not make money every week, but that just compensates for what i think will be the many weeks that I will make a lot more than what I aim to do, so I feel I can clear this easily.
