I play 5/10 limit at a live casino near Chicago on the weekends. I am averaging close to 2BB/hr ($20) in my 10 most recent trips out there over the last several months. So I feel that it would be possible for a 5/10 player (or perhaps a 3/6 player if me puts in more hours) can make a living, such a player would probably want to move up in limits at some time in order to earn more per hour.

Having said that, I feel that this will change soon. Poker has exploded in the last 3 years with the WPT and WSOP coverage, coupled with online poker rooms. More people are playing than every. However, I believe that within the next 5-10 years, a new "fad" will come around, or the bad "fish" who throw their money away at the table now will run out of money or give up once they realize they can't win. So while I believe it is possible to make a living at the lower limits today, it may not be the same in a few years unless you move up.

Thanks for your completely insignificant winrate.

The rake in these live small games are ridiculous, you'd need a good rake structure and a very very soft player pool to make any kind of money.
