Which Format is Best for Going Pro? (Online and B&M)

[Voltaire]

"A lot of B&M players play poker merely to drink and socialize and gamble in a way that is relatively low-intensity--this continues up to quite a high limit, I've seen it even in 20/40. This "social player" does not exist online. Therefore, I hypothesize that the average online player will do more to educate himself towards proper play than a B&M player will."

I also agree, although there are some social players online.
Social players like the atmosphere of being in a club, they like having a dealer and somebody waiting on them; they like the massage and being with other people. The games are definitely easier to beat, but beware of slow games and bad fish (I mean the kind served from the kitchen--that can be VERY distracting).
