Thanks for the replies. I was hoping the general consensus wouldn't be 'the games are far tougher'
Are they really far far tougher?

By playing like 10 hours a month or something. Anyway, I did that for far too long, then found myself NEEDING money, as my outs were more than my ins. I return to the tables properly, and hit a bad patch, and now here I am. Also that $100/hour was over 50k hands so it may not be that high, but it's certainly close. My $2/$4 hourly was usually hovering around the $75-$100 mark.

As played.....hmmmm....get your butt to work and GRIND! like you've never grinded before. If that doesn't work, get a part time job imo.
Yeah, I'm more than willing to put in the grind if it gets me back on top of things. My main worry is that I may not be good enough to beat contemporary poker. But if I have those kind of win-rates, up until a few months ago, I can't go from that to being a losing player so quickly surely.
My plan is to be smarter about things like finding soft sites, RB, bonuses etc...all things that I have been neglecting while away from the 'scene'. Even if I'm a break even player, $20/hour in RB is still a wage
