Message: [QUOTE="BubbleWizard, post: 3333579, member: 219054"] I believe a player becomes professional(or a master) when they eat poker, sleep poker, dream poker. I don't think you can call "professional" a player that makes a living grinding the 0.05 cash tables. Take a look at some poker pros: Negreanu, Hansen, Dwan or Phil Ivey... all they know is poker and they train hard everyday to become better. Some of the training they do is nosebleed cash tables with blinds going up to 200$-400$. I believe a pro player is someone that has been in the game for at least 5 years and during these years they felt the crushing defeat and crippling self-loathing that comes along with poker and somehow they're still in the game with a profit.
