The 1 bb/hr figure is for middle limits (10/20 - 60/120) live, and even that is a sliding scale, starting with about 1.25 at 10/20 and being about 0.75 at 60/120. Below 10/20 live 1.5 - 2 bb/hr is very doable. Online 3.5 bb/100 is more the benchmark for a winning player over the long run.
Just be sure you're not deceiving yourself about what the long run is.
I was averaging 7 bb/100 2-tabling 2/4 for a 12,000 hand stretch last year before I switched back to mainly SNG's. I am under no illusion that I can expect that rate of return in perpetuity.
