Every major poker room is infested by regulars and that too with six max. You cannot find any single limit or game type which is not infested by regulars in major poker rooms (If you know keep that secret close to your chest and grind as many hours you can there). Their aim is gain profit from rake back and leaderboards by playing 6-24 tables with less then 15% VPIP for 10-15 hours a day. Then there are other regulars who play 4-8 tables for exploitative play against formerly mentioned regulars with the aim of stealing as many blinds as they can from leader board players because they can not defend every blind with 24 tables open, you have to play super tight to ensure less variance. 99% Exploitative regulars are not tough enough for massive variance and they eventually burn out because of the mental fatigue, Less then 1% move up the stakes. At last there are fishes (recreational / new players) who play 2 tables at most with no HUD or strategy, You will found only 3-4 fishes in an entire session that too beats you because of variance, fact is you cannot just wait for the fishes and their mistakes, this will slow down you learning process (you will learn some bad concepts as well) and eventually make you a fish.
So above mentioned three categories are there in any major poker rooms and apart from the first one almost human bot like players no body is earning anything, they too is earning like less then 10$ per hour which is in my opinion is not worth it. But wait, may be you are super genius and somehow adapt your strategy according to every one which will give you an edge in long term over first two categories of regulars, may be you are able to beat them but here comes the biggest and thickest wall for your cash game poker carrier, are you ready for it? Its daddy RAKE. Major trend is high rake almost 8-10bb/100. Lets assume you are a winning player but you cannot win 10bb/100 hands against any serious regulars it is just impossible. So ultimately all living humans are loosing in online cash games.
