Message: [QUOTE="Tmoney999, post: 5351225, member: 265019"] [b]Pros[/b] Over the years of playing I have considered pros to be one thing, a person who lives solely of poker. Meaning that if they didn't have poker they would not be surviving. They pay there rent with money earned off poker, there food and leisure costs off poker and basically just live life with there earnings from the game. What else would a pro be in your opinion?? You could see the same faces all day at a casino, they could just be rich degenerate gamblers, same goes with online. Just because you see a person playing this game all the time absolutely does not make them a pro. Pros live off of poker and anything surrounding poker that you can earn off of, streaming, teaching, all that kind of stuff. If there doing this they are obviously very skilled at the game and are winning players. In my opinion you can't work a job and earn a living and be a professional poker player, even if you played everyday, that would just make you a reg. Pros should earn and live off of 100% poker profits and anything else that has to do with poker but mainly playing poker. Do pro athletes work other jobs? the answer is no, the eat 100% off there sport or game they play, sponsorship(because of said game) and whatever else they earn from( started because of the game). If poker and everything in poker ( teaching,coaching,staking,etc.) isn't what you do to earn 100% of your income your not a pro. Sure you can make tons of money in other ventures, but if poker isn't what got you there or you don't play poker to earn the vast majority of your money or at least a good living salary, your not a pro. My opinion, but I believe it to be the right one. [/QUOTE]
