My qualifications for a pro are a little rougher, I think if someone that makes 80% of their income from poker is a pro, but also cashes in about 75% of the tournies they enter. Like one of my favorite players is PearlJammer just cause it seems like he cashes in everything. Must be nice lol

PearlJammer: ITM 535/3105 17%

I can show up 75% of the time for a tourney.

i can blow smoke rings

i believe by deifinition a professional poker player is someone who makes a living off playing the game. Like if someone kicks every1's ass in hockey but does not play in the NHL or any professional organization, he is not a professional hockey player, he is just a kick ass player. thats like n e sport. so i think if u have a job and make money that way, and then kick ass at poker as a hobby, you are not technically a professional.

haha didnt see that 75% of cashing in tournies, that would be ridiclulous, i would just play poker straight for like 3 months and be like a multi-millionaire, id say 8 or 9 digits

If you can borrow $100k from your friends when you are broke, then you are a pro.
