How did James282 pull it off?

Since we've all sweated every one of his hands, we can definitely tell you how he did it...

he is good at poker, ran really hot, and likely had played a lot of NL before this month.

someone lock this.

Honest but worthless.

I only made about 114k from NL. I got help from fsuplayer and AZK and read the advice of the best posters in this forum as I played. I trusted the hand-reading skills that I had developed from playing high LHE games and practiced pretty good game selection. I played a lot of hands.

James...was this in live cash games or were you multi-tabling online. Also, how many hours a day were you playing?

Thanks

I'm a limit player, so I don't really know comparable winrates at NL. winning 160K in a month at 10/20 limit would be immensely phenomenal, but at the same time I know NL supposedly has less variance... so that must mean NL players expect to make 10BB/100 or so?? Please elaborate if possible...
