Practical.

If you play online, you can play more hands per hour, can play many tables at once, and the rake is usually lower. But, a 2/4 online game plays about like 5/10-10/20 at a casino. Online games are generally tougher.

If you play at the same casino all the time, like I do, you'll eventually realize you're playing against a lot of the same people all the time. These people will eventually learn your style of play (assuming they're not complete donks), and your winrate will suffer. Online, unless you're playing really high, you'll face a much larger variety of opponents.

Anyway, long story short, of course it's possible to go pro playing live, or online, or both. They're just different.

It's practical if you live somewhere like LA or Vegas where you have a larger variety of opponents and more fish.
