Default Re: Today I became a pro.

Just for the record I don't at all consider someone who uses poker as their sole source of income automatically a pro. I think that title comes from successfully beating the higher levels, not from deciding you are going to quit your job and start grinding the lowest levels available on Stars.

You may have started working towards becoming a pro.. but you can't just wake up and decide to be one, doesn't really work like that.

I like to play soccer, but it would be completely rediculous if I said today I went pro, am from now on am going to devote 10 hours per day to it. I would have to work towards the goal first and actually get good enough to be a pro...

And therein lies the sublime beauty of this quest. He really can declare himself a PRO. The fact of the matter is that if he can do it, he is a PRO even if you don't like it, especially if you don't like it. The Doyle Brunson of the $3 SNGs. This may be my all time favorite thread.

Don't spend it all in one place.
