I thought it was pretty commonly accepted, even in a few 2p2 books that it is extremely tough to make over 1bb/hour in live, low limit games, and 1.5 is damn near impossible?

I don't have the figures in front of me to know the exact number of hours but in 98 and 99 prior to the MGM closing its poker room I played about 40 hours a week there and beat the 4-8 game for $15/hr (the actual number was either just over or just below $15). This game was sometimes played with a half kill to 6-12, but it was also played with blinds half the normal size.

so the blinds were 1/2 all the time? or are you saying the game, when it was killed, stayed at the normal 2$, 4$ blinds?

The blinds were $1 and $2 and the kill posted a $3 blind to play $6-$12. This used to be a very common structure in Las Vegas. Back then the only place with the correct sized blinds was Mirage and then Bellagio.

Im a little confused still. Were the blinds 1/2 ALL the time, or just when it was a kill hand?

The blinds were $1 and $2. A kill blind ($3 in this game) is posted when a player triggers the kill (2 pots in a row in this game). Typically the blinds do not change for a kill pot (anywhere that I am aware of) there is simply a third blind posted by the killer.
