The dollars per hour is just 5 PTBB per hour, hence the win rate doesn't decline with the increase of stakes.

Your calculations are incorrect if you are factoring 5ptbb/100 4-tabling.

That said, some of the best players at these levels don't even make 5ptbb/100. Granted, you are only 4-tabling, but if you think you can realistically run at 5ptbb/100 at 200/400/600/1000/2000NL, I think you are being a bit optimistic.

Advice: Maybe try increasing the # of tables you play. The biggest number you want is $/hour, not ptbb/100. If you can 8-tabling and make 3ptbb/100, you are making more $/hour than if you 4 table and run hot at 5ptbb/100.

Example: 200NL

Running 2ptbb/100:
4-table ~ $20/hour (250 hands)
8-table ~ $40/hour (500 hands)
12-table ~ $60/hour (750 hands)

Running 3ptbb/100:
4-table ~ $30/hour
8-table ~ $60/hour
12-table ~ $90/hour

Running 5ptbb/100
4-table ~ $50/hour
8-table ~ $100/hour
12-table ~ $150/hour

ETC.

Obviously your ptbb/100 is probably going to be higher if you play fewer tables, but as you can see, 12-tabling 200NL at 2ptbb/100 has a higher hourly than 4-tabling at 5ptbb/100 - just some food for thought.
