Default True View?

compare poker to baseball....

baseball players that have been drafted by a MLB team are "pros" even though they're making $40k/yr playing DoubleAA ball in North Dakota.....

I think poker players need to be ranked on the same level.....these players might all be "pros" but on VERY different levels...

Rookie Ball (Jeff Madsen, Randy Jensen)
Single A (E Frolich, Gabe Thaler)
DoubleAA (Mark Vos, Josh Arieh)
TripleAAA (Nam Le, David Singer)
Major Leagues (Hellmuth, Ivey)
Hall of Famers (Doyle, Chip Reese, Cloutier)

people like me are what you should be looking for to fill out your minor leagues. No one has ever heard of me, so I fit the criteria.
