ok well first off that sample size is nothing. I've heard live 30 hands/hour (a hand every 2 minutes) is a good estimate, and that would be 1260 hands for you. I've had upswings and downswings that last 10 times that, and the real online pros have break-even stretches of 100 times that.

Secondly, still assuming 30 hands/hour, you're running at 41+ PTBB/100. I don't believe this winrate is actually sustainable.

The big question though at any time is can you handle the downswings. Can you handle an entire week of poker where you do everything right and still end up down $2k? Can you continue to play your best and put in the hours even when you're losing?

Personally I think $1/$2 live is just way too low to make a living, I just don't think a good enough winrate is achievable by even the best. You seem to be on a hot run as well, and if you think this is average, you're going to have a hard enough time when it starts evening out, let alone when the downswing hits.

I'm not the pro you're looking for, but I think you're going to need to play higher limits to make a living live. Not positive, what do I know? Maybe you're amazing and you've found a game where all the fish enjoy giving money away. But even then the variance will be sick and you'll have to handle the downswings. Can you handle them? Only you can answer that one.
