Cool question, and one that many people who love the game end up asking themselves at some point. From what many pros and coaches say, talent helps a bit, but hard work, discipline and the ability to handle variance are what really decide who makes it. Modern games are tough, so just “playing a lot” without structured study usually caps you at a certain level, while players who regularly review hands, use training material and think about bankroll and mental game keep improving year after year.

It also seems important to remember that “professional” is more about lifestyle than just skill. You need a solid bankroll, a proven winrate in your main games, and the discipline to treat poker like a job: set hours, study time, tracking results, and managing downswings without going broke or tilting your life. So in my view the ideal mix is a bit of natural feel for the game plus a big dose of work ethic and patience; talent might get you started, but the grind and constant learning are what actually keep you in the professional group long term.
