I have yet to play at a live 1/2 game that has even one player that knows what they are doing other than myself.  1/2 NL at a casino is all about dodging random hands.
 
But if we look at an online game that is comparable, lets say .10/.25 NL....would you say that is comparable?...if we look at that game, we see a lot of player that have no idea about starting hands, position, pot odds, etc.  Now and then I will play a small stakes cash game online.  I would say that I see the same garbage at a .10/.25 NL game online that I do at a 1/2 NL game live.  I will see players limp-call any two suited cards from out of position and then play draws on the flop like they have the nuts....same as they do at the casino.  
 
If, as I blieve, the play is comparable, then a good player should have no problem, as you put it about the 1/2 live game, running his $25 buy in up to $75++ in a few hours.  This is not the case however.
 
I'm not offering up a reason for why a good player will have more trouble tripling his buy in at a dime/quarter online game than he will at a 1/2 live game, but I will refute the idea that the live players are any worse at 1/2 than they are at dime/quarter online.  Same garbage play, different results.
 
Hell, I'm lucky if I break even at one of those dime/quarter cash games online!:rolleyes:
