I think 1bb/100 with 250 hands an hour is poor. If you were playing 500 hands an hour at 1bb/100, that's acceptable, but 250 hands is 3 tables of 6 max, or 4 tables of full ring. Being able to play 8 tables of full ring or 5-6 of 6 max is essential to being pro at 5/10ish limits, I think, because then you can hit the "50-60k" goal (his goal) with 3-4 hours of play a day. Statistics say that people are only "on" for about 5-6 hours of their workday. At most, that should be the amount of time you are playing poker a day if you want even close to solid play.
