Re: Is poker a profession?
[ QUOTE ]
I would consider someone a professional who lives of the income s/he derives from whatever they are doing. Since this is what they do for a living, this is their profession. Poker is a game of skill as many others and should be looked at as a sport. under the same token you can argue that a football player or boxer is not a professional but they are as long as they get paid for doing it.

I agree with this. To the OP, if poker players aren't consider professionals because of alot of the things you said in posts. Then neither should athletes, or it is sad for those who get the big contract and shop themselves to different teams.
