Your skill in poker doesn’t matter all on its own. The only thing that matters is the difference in your skill at poker compared to the people you are playing against.
If you are playing against strong players, you won’t make much if you’re slightly better than them. In other words, pick your game based on how bad you think the other players are.
With that said, the most you could expect to make playing 1-2 limit hold em for 12 hours a day when you’re playing against very weak players is about $40 a day ON THE AVERAGE. It’s just tough to beat the rake in a game like that.

You’re never going to find a 1/2 limit table. 2/4 is what you’ll find everywhere. Don’t expect to win consistently no matter what you are playing, especially at that level.

the issue with 1/2 limit is there are so many recreational players playing, they are river rats they will pay every time so best hand wins Pretty much be care full at the small tables if you have skill play like a $200 max no limit

The correct answer is “nothing” since 1/2 limit games do not exist in live casinos.
How much you can make depends largely on skill, but in general, a skilled player can make about 2-4 big blinds per hour in a live, limit game in which they have an advantage. That would be $4-$8 an hour at your imaginary game. Sometimes you can make more than that if they competition is very weak though.

If you are in the top three at the table, you can expect to be a winner.
