I think the question comes down to almost exactly this: are you going to win more than 3.5 hands/hr? If you figure a live NL game gets off 30 hands/hr, your fair share is 3 hands/hr, and your tight playing style means you will win less than this. This point goes to CG. You would expect to pay around $12/hr at CG, and $14/hr at LC.

Another point is how much money is the house taking off the table. At LC it's $140/hr. At CG it is $4x, where x is hands/hr. With my 30 hands/hr number (I think this is about right, but others will know better than me) this is $120/hr.

I say CG is better.
