Not to mention live players wear their tells better than their clothes. Live fish are awful. Playing 1/2 live is equal to 1c/2c online. Kinda begs the question of why don't we get our butts to the local card room more often eh?

And as for the OP's question, I wouldn't focus too much on $/hr at these levels. Just play good poker, the money will follow. I don't even check my bankroll any more since I'm in the green and I don't plan on cashing out any time soon.
