I only get to play in card rooms 3-4 times per year (nearest one is about 3 hours away)
 
but I have to say that the money is easiest in live games, particularly at the real tourist plaves (LV strip or Atlantic City card rooms) for low-limit games (2/4 or 3/6 hold'em)
 
not only do you get a lot of inexperienced players, but people tend to play a lot more loose/passive in the live cardrooms as far as I've seen.  A strict tight/aggressive strategy always brings home the money for me in these games.
 
Also, since it is a lot harder to enter/leave games, people tend to stick around for a while, meaning you can figure out their tendencies easier and also catch them on tilt.  Online it is too easy for people to switch tables before you get a read on them.  The tilt factor is very big IMO...when someone gets beat real bad, they no longer have the anonymity of the internet to protect them and they often become embarrassed/angry, leaving them vulnerable to making mistakes.
