Honestly, I don't think there is much money in online limit poker anymore. Play is somewhat mechanical, and I think it's tough to beat the rake. People tend to play quite tight online.
I like to goof off in low-limit games to have a chance to play something that isn't too high pressure and can actually relax me (NL HE requires such intensity that it's hard to relax while playing it). I haven't seen really beatable games — like the old days of fishiness over at Pacific Poker — in almost a year now. For the moment, limit poker is tough to beat and hard to build a bankroll at. Have you considered focusing on baby-NL games? I bet you could have higher earning with lower variance in, say, .5/1 NL HE.
