In SoCal, the live games can be a lot looser than on-line at the lower limits. I've recently been at 6-12 with half the table seeing the flop, many with trash hands. My theory is that players who hang out on the Internet tend to read and learn, and over time the online games will get tougher. A lot of the cardroom players don't like to read, so they are plateaued and may fall prey to newer players who educate themselves.
If you are going to play B&M profitably, be sure to study the collection structure since it may change the EV of certain plays, such as blind-stealing.
