So basically there is a 6/12 LHE Kill game at my local casino one of the few I can actually play at because I'm 19. I normally play mid stakes FR, and what I would like to know is how profitable it would be for me to play this game assuming I goright now. Also would like to know how long it would take me to learn LHE and be proficient and how much I could make after becoming proficient but not godlike at LHE.

lot of variables. mostly, the skill level of the players, but you knew that. from what i know 1-2 BB/hr is nice after rake/time charge and tips. so, that would have you around $12-$24/hr.
however, i would listen to a more experienced, live player before me. i might even pm jeff or fnord if i were you. but, lawdude plays live, too, so he will likely respond.

LHE is a game where your skill keeps you breakeven until you hit your rush of random BS.
Nothing beats flopping quads while dropping a duece!

I don't think it's smart-- with respect to any sort of poker-- to just go out and target a winrate. It isn't that your typical 6/12 live game is so difficult-- it isn't-- but you do need to learn how to play it, what the tendencies of typical players are, when aggression works and doesn't work, what sort of variance to expect, etc.
So just make sure you have a big enough bankroll to finance your learning curve, and if you get into some difficult spots, post the hands on FTR.

Seems reasonable enough. I was thinking about watching some LHE videos and was gonna wait until I could beat the online stake for a reasonable amount. What limits would you say the average live 6/12 kill game is comparable to online skillwise?

6/12 live is probably similar to .5/1 or a loose 1/2, though it's kinda like comparing apples to oranges.

Some days it feels like I've been standing forever, waiting for the bank teller to return so I can cash in all these Sklansky Bucks.

Watch the rake. I'm not sure what the policy is at your local card room, and/or whether they are taking another $1 for a jackpot drop, but $5 + $1 can be tough to beat if the game is tight.

Just got back from Vegas. I played mostly NLH tournies, but did some limit cash games when I could find them. No where had anything higher than 4/8, I was on one 10/20 half kill interest list at the Wynn, but it never got above 4 people.
Live 2/4 played like .10/.20 (or worse), 3/6 played like .25/.50. 4/8 varied, but didn't really fit in any online limit category. A mix of semi-rocks and ultra loose-retarded preflop/semi retarded postflop players.
The latter type were easy to beat in small and heads up pots, but in big pots they made good odds chases with good multiway soooted hands. One of them cracked my aces with 84s when his flush draw missed, but turn+rivered fours

Playing Live is completely different than playing online. I feel you get to know your opponents a lot better and their body language can tell you when their tilting a lot easier than you can online. Their hand going with cup in it to face will also tell you when theyre drunk a lot easier than online.. Both very profitable situations!
