PRO
A pro has very good bankroll management! Pro will also have a great deal of experience/played 100s of thousands of hands. They also got a niche Kid Poker has the ability to read you like the cards are turnned over. Chris J Ferguson is so tight that he almost has a hammer lock on every hand he commits to JJ 488JQ vs A8. He also to prove a point started with0$ on full tilt. He turned it into over 10k in less than a year using his bankroll mangmnt. skill. Doyle hes a got a lot of all the styles and was the master!! I think you need some of or at least 1 of the skills that u have down and then a mix of the others to become a pro. Then must live of the your winnings. Min of 35k a year a low limit pro. You would have to play net or have a apartment in Vegas or next to a casino!

Tournaments do not have to be important nor do you have to win them. But you must have enough money in prize pools and come in a place consistent enough in order to make enough money in order to live and support your life style. like if 10th is 5k take a 3rd for 17k Id say that's good and have 4 1k buy ins and 6 2k buys that's 10k you would plus 12k in 10 days so monthly that's 36k if half are 2 day tourney that's still 24k. About 300k a yr.
If your primary source of income is derived from Poker and that is how you support yourself and your family, then you are a professional poker player. That is your profession on your Tax Form, etc..
Anything else you are a Recreational Player. You still may be a winning player, but it is not how you earn a living. Now if you have savings or a trust fund, which allows you to play poker everyday. You might be on your way to being a professional.
