You guys are freely mixing bb/100 (big blinds per 100 hands) and BB/100 (bet bets per hundred hands). In the limit world, BB/100 is the more common measure. After rake and tips is assumed in all cases. If we were talking online, we could argue whether rakeback is included -- typically not, though it should be in your yearly earn. Honestly, if the cage gives you $2/hour that you can use as normal live promo, I'd count that in my earn.

i'm think most decent live mid-stakes games are beatable for around 1bb/100 in decent games (after rake and tips).
Assuming 30h/hour, you're talking .33bb/HR or .17BB/HR. No live pro would stay sane with the swings that their 12BB/HR SD gives them. The hourly measure is more standard as is the BB for big bet. I'd guess 0.75 to 1 BB/HR is what most people are using. How often people get near the 1 vs. how many run 0.75 is open to debate.
Using online terms is strange. The games are different. Also, you do have full time pros who post around here who have 1500 to 3000 hour per year samples (yes, people insane enough to get near 3K hours at the table). While we're not talking 99% confidence intervals, you're in the world of "big sample".
