Hi,

I hope these questions aren't considered worthless or out of line, and I'm asking out of curiosity and the fun of hearing your opinions.

1) Are you 1000 NL + players absolutely confident that if you go to say 50 NL or 100 NL, you'll be able to kill it for 5PTBB/100 + over the first 10 000 - 20 000 hands because the game is that good, or is variance so significant that even against worst players it can easily get in your way over that amount of hands?

2) In theory, for a player who can be described skillwise between good and great, how many hands would it take to make $1000 into $10 000 or $20 000, in a sort of rushed scenario, where he is not taking very large risks with the bankroll, but also is jumping stakes as quickly as is reasonable?

Hope something interesting comes out of this,
Regards, y'all
