How doable is turning $300(table stack), into $2500 in 4 weeks:
1) Starting table is $1/$2 NL Hold'em. 34% players see flop. Average pot $55.
2) 30 to 40 hours per week at a table.
(All opinions are welcome, with varying goals and hours per week.)

Note: That's my planned bankroll and stack. My real bankroll (outside of game) is more of course. How is that stack not good for that big blind --- since, it's 150x the big blind? Often, live casino players bring stack 100x to 200x big blind. How many times the big blind is your stack?

Sounds like you get hustled easily. Your ABC plays will save you from being pot commited, but your wins will only be cents or couple of dollars per day.

Mine is 2500x bb (25 buys ins at 100bb)
I think the general recommended guideline for a bankroll is 20 buyins at 100bb
You just got to laugh.
If your starting bankroll is $300 you'd be well served to start at $0.05/$0.10 blinds. That's what you are rolled for. 20-30 buyins is pretty much the accepted norm. If you only have 15 buy-ins you are taking a shot. You have 1.5 buy-ins at $1/$2. That's a friday night at the casino goofing around not a plan to make money long term.
Also - and I gotta ask - what does:

If you're looking for a 200NL table with those averages, keep looking.

I think there's some language issues in this thread where most people here interpreted $300 as being all the money he has and he actually meant he will be buying in for $300 at $1/2NL.
You could do it in one night if you got lucky and played well but who knows if you will, no one has any idea of how good a player you are.
