Here is my problem with your math. Forgetting for a moment that your sample size is miniscule - I mean, this has to be for what 5k hands or something? - even if we assume 1.5 BB/hour is your long term true win rate, you should be able to crush that by multitabling online.

Let's say online you could only grind out .25 bb/hr somehow (including RB and bonuses), playing only 8 tables gives you a 2 bb/hour win rate, which is already higher than your live rate. And we haven't even factored in your time and expenses of driving to and from the game and so on.

And don't forget that by playing 20x as many hands per hour online, you'll be gaining experience so much faster, which should improve your win rate (online and live) faster too.
