July 29th I started 50nl with $1500 BR. Right now I'm sitting on ~$2100. So it is fairly achievable and if you put forth any decent amount of effort you will be able to do this is well under a year imo. I'm fairly sure I will be at 200nl by April or so next year, and I expect to make platinum either this month or next for sure.
How many hands have you played total / per month to do this?
I don't know how many SNGs it took to get to $320, and I didn't have PT then anyways. But once I got to 10nl (BR $320) I put in 38k hands at 6.24ptbb/100 to get to 25nl. I moved up to 25nl 3 times before I stayed. I tried once when my roll was $500, then again at $580 and failed misterably both times. Moved up finally when roll was $700 and stayed. After getting to 25nl I played 32k at 3.94ptbb/100 before moving up to 50nl ($1500 BR, which is a little conservative).

Right now after 16k hands at 50nl at 3.48ptbb/100 I'm up $556 with a BR of $2150. So I have around 80k hands in my PT Database going from $320BR to $2100, in a matter of a little over 2 months. Keep in mind this is including RakeBack, which I get from grinding the 210fpp satellites on PS worth $11 per win (made about $160ish last month on RB alone and have round $100 this month already).
