Sure the players are better on the whole nowadays, but the little $10/$20 live Limit I've played in the past year says that game is still beatable for me, and I'm rusty as hell. I'm sure a strong Limit player would still be able to find decent edges in higher games, I can't imagine every player above the $10/$20 level is playing perfectly.
The variance in LHE is higher than NLHE. Also, the edge you have over a live, LHE player is significantly smaller than the edge over a live, NLHE player. Basically, the ability for a bad player to make a mistake for all of his chips is of huge value in NLHE. There aren't enough hands/hour in a live, LHE game for it to be worth anyone's time. Unless the game is obscenely good and above 20/40. The rake will eat you alive...
