It depends on local factors. In Daytona, when NASCAR is in town, Feb and Jul, or when they have a bike week, Mar and Oct, there are 300K -500K tourists in a small town looking for something to do. Many of the tourists drink, many of them play poker, many of them do both.
That is four weeks of juicy poker when the room is at max capacity. Many of the players are vacation only type players or home game players. Play at the 1/2 tables and many of them will need coaching on not splashing the pot, when to post blinds, some will even have to be told at every turn what their bet, call, raise, fold options are. It can be tough on the dealers and it can try your patience as a player.
However, those bad players will often run thru $500 or $1000 before they decide they can't compete and then they leave making room for new money at the table. During these times, if you get a good table, you can make more on the 1/2 than the 2/5.
