When are you a pro?

[MuckU]

so, i've always wondered, what exactly qualifies you as a 'pro'? you can just call yourself a pro and you're a pro? lol.. i dont understand what qualifies you as a pro, cause there's people who have won WPT titles and stuff and are still called amateurs, then there's online players who are considered pros. someone fill me in.

Standard definition is that you are a professional if you make the majority of your money from playing poker.

I think you are a pro if it is your career. Success or level of play is irrelevant. It's like in sports, if they do it for a living they are called professional sports people.

Yeah it's like how everyone at Shawshank is innocent. All 2+2ers are pro.

lol yeah i figured when you're doing it for a living you should be considered a pro.. but what about someone who has tons of money, isnt working anymore, basically just playing poker as a job, but they're completely horrible. they're pros? doesnt make sense lol
