For live play - i have notice that low-level stud games are MUCH tougher than low-level LHE games. People playing stud now-n-days seem to be all locals and they are rock-tight.
Before the Texas Hold Em boom, the stud games were soft - that was what all the new people and tourists played. The Hold Em games (what few that there was) was the tough games cause that was where the serious poker players were.
Now, all the tourists and new players play at the Hold Em tables and all the serious locals play at the stud tables.
This is taken from a sample of my last 6 or so trips to Atlantic City - so take it for what it is worth.
