I'm curious how you come up with that reasoning? Do you have data to support it or is this just your opinion? I ask because I make a living at the $5-10nl in my local casino and have just recently started playing online again (last couple months) on occasion.

I'm playing full, $1-2NL online and the games are pretty tight-in general (barely a sample size worth mentioning...100 hours). I use very good table selection, but inevitably there are 7 people at the tables that play about 17% of the hands and maybe a couple 22%ers and one live one. if I'm lucky. Once the live one busts out the table is again filled with rocks and if the pots are big it's because you're got one rock getting it all in w/ A's w/ the other having K's. That's just a trend I've been seeing and I usually play late at night

playing hours might be the prob, early in the morning and primetime EST hrs are usually really good at stars for 2/4-5/10, cant say about 1/2. I also play 6-max almost all the time so that might have something to do with it. My figures werent based on anything i put much effort into but here is what i did:

5/10 live= winning at 10ptbbs (20 big blinds)/100 hands= $200/100 hands. assuming ~30 hands/hr thats $60/hr

.5/1 online= winning at 5ptbbs (10 big blinds)/100 hands= $10/100 hands, so 6 tabling is gonna make about $54/hr, 7 tabling $63/hr.

my hourly at .5/1 online was $68/hr 7-8 tabling so its def possible. This summer at the series i didnt really track my hourly at 5/10, but keep in mind also that live players will have to tip waitresses and dealers as well.
