Those articles were written a year ago and haven't been changed. The admins of this site still play NL and most of them are doing quite well. However, there are more than a handful of people here that started out playing NL and moved to limit simply because that's where the most bad players are. It's not just at the micro limits either. There are bad players as high up as 5/10 as I'm sure Fnord and koolmoe will attest. They crush those games and make a ton of money doing it.

I don't profess to be a great or even good poker player. I do know that I'm good enough to beat the games that I play on a pretty consistent basis. I'm still learning and probably will continue to do so as long I play this game.

The BB/Hr figures on the front page are pretty useless in the online poker world. That figure comes from brick and mortar casinos. Online you play more hands and can even play multiple tables at the same time. You can easily double, triple, or more the number of hands that you see over the same time spent sitting in a seat at a card room.
