North east US. Easy enough to figure out my primary casino from posting history (when not trolling BBV

It's always been my impression that without playing super long average sessions, winning players tend to have somewhere around 55:45 or 60:40 wins:losses. (Looks like you average 3.6 hours/session, which isn't really that long.)
Answer to part A: pretty much yes.
Results somewhat skewed by 1/2 (which included a 20- game WS and another in the high teens). 2/5 WR is about 66%.
Season averages are also probably skewed by 1/2, as I generally leave the table when a 2/5 gets going and sessions there tend to be shorter.

I usually only play 1/2 while waiting on a 2/5 seat, and this is the softest 1/2 I have ever played. Hands are played fairly face up.
Also I am quite aggro in general in 2/5 (as the SD seems to show), and players just assume I play the same game every day no adjustments. In truth I know the players well enough now to tailor my game to specific tables, players, instances etc.
At 1/2 I generally just build lots of small pots IP, abandon as needed, then jam and get called (because of false image) when I have the nuts. A decent number of players fear me because they know every confrontation could be playing for stacks and they let me walk over them. Others use that perception to try to get it all in with me light as they think I'll just call everything with any pair or draw.
Truth is the room is in a bit of a poker time warp and the players think they are exploiting my tendencies when in fact it is the other way around. I even get bumhunted sometimes by absolutely awful players who just don't grasp or understand what I am doing and how I manage to be so consistently "lucky."
I do what I can to give each player the desired image of me he/she wants. But reality and perception have no real correlation to each other. I consider this "marketing."
While I don't think the WR is sustainable over a significant sample, I do think $50/hr is doable AT THIS PARTICULAR CASINO.
It really is like playing them with their cards exposed. It takes a decent amount of bad luck to lose at 1/2 there, IMO.
