I play similar stakes. $3/5 NL with a $300 max buy-in. I consider myself a good player, but far from great, and I have averaged 12 BB/hr since 1 September when I changed how I record my sessions and win rates. Not meant as a brag, and I know that I have been running hot over that period and have only had 2 bad sessions out of the last 12. But I also know players that have better returns over far larger samplings.

That information from my experience, combined with what I have watched a lot of "good" and "great" players return tells me that 5-10 BB/hr is an expectable long term return from a "good" player in a loose live game in a B&M.

If you plan to play weekday afternoons and sit at rock gardens you won't be anywhere near that rate, but if you hit evening crowds on weekends, practice table selection, and do some fishing it is very attainable.
