I'm just trying to get an idea of the streaks that are possible/typical for winning players.

i broke even for 30k at 10/20.

I broke even for my first 35k at 10/20, after the worst downswing ever. I've yet to move up in limits without hitting a ridiculous new downswing...i'm scared of hitting the 15/30 or 20/40 because of that irrational belief.

Anyway I ran well for a bit after that, then plunged into another 250 BB downswing that resulted in 20k more breakeven hands.

For lmn:

I haven't been a proven winner at the 10/20 yet(.5BB/100 over 70k doesn't prove much). I've seen some incredible things that are likely(hopefully?) due to variance...I have studied my game non-stop since moving up, and my hand-reading and play is only getting better. While I may not have adapted to the aggression properly early on I believe I was still playing winning poker.
