Default Trying to evaluate success on 5/10 - need advice

I am a new student to poker. I am studying the book Small Stakes Hold'em (read it 1 1/2 times so far). I have read Advanced Hold'em and realized a.) I was not that advanced and b.) I was playing in games where my play was not respected (e.g small stakes with loose or wild players).

I am very tight agressive and now love online loose agressive games with high pots. I am cautious after the flop for draws and only made two real errors in play (I think).

I am in play money now (having taken a small beating before studying), but intend to break over to .25/.50 if I think I can be successful. I intend to start with $50.00 (100 BB) unless someone tells me different.

To make it easy on myself, I always enter with $1,000. I played a total of three and a half hours straight tonight. First hour: 1 game, 2nd hour: 2 games, 3rd hour: 3 games and the last half hour: 4 games. Interestingly enough, I played much better with more games (since I am so tight, I get bored). At the end of 3 1/2 hours, here is my breakdown per room: $473 (both of the errors came in this room with $700+ pots), $1316, $1,514, $1,543 for a total of $4,847 or approximately 85 BB over 3 1/2 hours or an average of 24+ BB per hour. Is this good, bad, or what? I know I need hundreds of hours of more play, but I really have studied quite a bit, plus some simulator, live play and lots of self-dealt test hands. I just have no guage what is good at this level and with play money. I KNOW is will be harder with real money.

Thanks for any help.
