I like this response :D A "pro" might not always be winning though - perhaps so long-term, but even pros hit variance and losing months etc.

Nah, not that simple. I only play freerolls right now, yet I don't consider myself a pro at poker despite "winning."

Great answer, but some poker "pros" might also have side jobs right? Or similarly be a "pro" poker player on the side?

+1 Sounds correct, but even this straight-forward answer some will likely argue against - depends how one defines a "pro."

xD That is more to do with ego to impress others though isn't it? lol I could claim I am something, but that doesn't make it automatically the case - people lie and especially might for ego. Sleeps in their car? Maybe they are a pro...but obviously a losing one at the moment lol

I heard one person say a "pro" in poker or not is if you declare it on your taxes or not :D

Nope. Unless, that makes me a "pro" in our CardsChat freerolls ;)

Usually the case; nice answer :)

:D Yeah, being a "pro" isn't too difficult is it? ;)

Some would disagree. Personally, I feel like a reg is just a "regular" who is widely recognized at their place of poker play by most, but not necessarily "pro" or even a winning player. They usually are a winning player if they are dedicated enough to be a regular there though. Time put in to be a reg might mean they put in similar time to study and improving their craft.

Pros sometimes lose too though. EVERY day though? Maybe a recreational player or someone learning? Even they might become a pro in the future though - there is still hope :)
