How do you know when you've become a real "Cardplayer"

[Indiana]

In all my time at poker, I've always aspired to be a real cardplayer. Not a poker player, not a Snger or MTTer or cash game expert....but a real cardplayer. Over the past few weeks I've played well and have outsmarted my opponents quite a bit, racking up a few grand. I've been studying this game diligently for 2.5 years and really love the game. Still, I don't consider myself a true cardplayer. There are moments where I go on a tear and I mentally say to myself, "Indy, you are becoming a real cardplayer." I'm not there yet, but if you have arrived or know somebody who has....How did you know when you/they became a real cardplayer?

Maybe you could post your definition and/or list the requirements for the title?

When you walk up to a table or are moved to a table and the other players look at you and say "Oh S#it".

Definition of "reasonable" is up to you, after all it's you who'll be doing the "feeling" part.

When you can consistently beat a $10/$20 NL game without looking at your cards.

There's no clear definition for a cardplayer, I just know it when I see it. That guy from Costa Rica, Rosencrantz (sp?) with the card visor and poker face...he's a cardplayer.

There are only two ways to gain membership. Be the son of a cardplayer, or save the life of a cardplayer.
