The word pro is short for professional.

A professional is defined as someone who makes his living through an activity and subsequent definitions of living ect mean that to be a pro  then the activity has to make the majority of your income and take the majority of your time.

In short if you are a pro, then the activity is what you do.

So, how much money do you want to earn?

If $5 a hour is OK then dedicate the majority of your time to poker, and if that constitutes the majority of your earnings then $5 an hour makes you a pro.

An economist would look at the next highest paid activity you are capabe of doing and if that yeilds higher expected earnings than poker then you should not become a poker pro.

Of course this dosen't take into account other factors such as your enjoyment of poker.

How much should you earn? its such a person specific question, start with how much do you NEED to earn and how much do you enjoy your PRESENT line of work?

Then work backwards from there.
