I find skill level live vs online is 6 - 10 or more higher. ie skill at .50/1.00 online is better than 2/4 or 4/8 live.

I've recently talked with some online pros that say that 5/10 online is a significantly tougher game that 50/100 live. So from my experience I would say someone that could consistently beat 2/4 online could probably beat most 20/40 games live. 1/2 online is probably significantly more difficult to beat than all live games until 20/40 or higher. The players tend to play much more tight aggressive, and the ability to steal and defend blinds is one of the most important aspects of play.

Of course having the bankroll to play those loose live mid-stakes (20/40+)games is another situation entirely.....
