It is the lowest level at the casino that I play in so it is the cheapest game available for the bad players looking to gamble. Preflop raises are $12-15 in my game, just like most 1/2 games I've played elsewhere. My win rate in dollars is nearly the same as OP's (I def have much less hours), but 15 BB/hr is accepted as achievable for a good, winning player w a significant skill edge vs most of his opponents.
My round about point is that the 150 BB buyin makes stacks bigger so even though it's 1/2, it essentially plays the same as a slightly bigger game and if we take that into account, although the BB/hr seem higher than normal for a 1/2 win rate, it would be reasonable if we looked at it the same as a higher BB game w the same buyin.
And cash income is pretty sweet especially if you have a wife that is the "bread winner" in the family.
