Fair argument. I guess it's just difficult for me to believe those numbers (on both sides). It just seems crazy to me that the difference in skill level between live and online is SO GREAT that the massive loss in volume you could play can't easily make up for it.

If you can only play 3-4 tables of 1/2 limit and eek out .25 bb/hour, then yeah, I guess that's true. But there are plenty of players who play 5 times to stakes, 5 times as many tables, and have 4 times the win rate. That's 100 times the hourly used in your example. I'm not saying just anyone could sit down and have those numbers, but I'm pretty confident you could do a lot better than you are giving yourself credit for.
