The actions and thought processes you go through at the table, professionals are extremely contrasting to amateurs when it comes to things like mental discipline and bankroll management both of which destroys recreational players

I often see a lot of the same faces every time I visit the casino and the same names day after day at multiple tables online. What makes someone a pro as opposed to a reg as opposed to a recreational player?

Good day! I believe that a professional is the one who makes poker consistently and this is his main source of income! The professional is very smart and makes very, very few mistakes, but there are very few such mistakes! A professional is a person who knows his job by heart! But this is just my opinion and maybe I'm wrong, I'm still a beginner myself who just plays poker for fun!
 
hello

years of experience .. already trained as a player .. he lives from poker and has established his bank is another level that the regular player and the recreational player are not within reach, that differentiates him !!!
 
Professional player this means that this player lives on money won in poker, poker it's work.

Indeed those are pro, the ones you see every day, I think they live off the profits of poker and when you manage to make a living from it, you become a pro.
 
I think that a professional player does not depend only on the hands dealt to him, whether strong or weak, but rather depends on all poker strategies and reading the opponents, as we know the professional player by his winning or ranking in many big tournaments, and the financial profit he makes from playing poker .
 
pro players

hi, in the first place, what differentiates a recreational from a regular, is that the regular spends time studying. you can be a regular player and not "pro". the "pro" players are those of the elite, those who are dedicated to poker professionally but also stand out as the top in the world. cheers:icon_sant
 
Pro is the one that wins more then he loose .I think that's is a pro
 
A guy that is well known on the poker community, has a great number of significant winnings and can influence other people to join poker
 
a pro is a player, who has been very successful, and practically has a career, thanks to poker, and his income has been very high. 😀
 
A professional by definition is someone who lives by a mean, eg, live by play poker, not necessary be good or bad, just have a positive balance enough to live.
 
A professional has more than 12 hours of daily play, plays with money, and has a lot of success in tournaments
 
I think the difference between a professional and an amateur is that the amateur plays for pleasure, but the professional plays for the result, and that's why he learns, develops himself at all levels, and plays even when he doesn't feel like it.
 
In my beleive a pro is someone that makes a living out of poker and plays more than 8 hours a day. They know probabilities and have a better analysis of the game .It has nothing to do with us who play once in a while
 
a professional, if we mean poker and gambling in general, is someone who consistently earns money from it and devotes most of his time to it
