When do you consider yourself pro?

MishkaZL · May 19, 2020

I believe that a professional player is a player who earns a living by playing. For a professional poker player, this is a job. For me, poker is a hobby, so I consider myself a professional beginner.

tamara822 · May 25, 2020

I guess that will be when I can make a living from poker. I think I'm a good player but I still have to learn. And when I make enough money from poker and buy a house, a car and travel the world, then I will be considered a successful player.

To be a professional, you don't necessarily have to play the biggest tournaments.
There are millionaires who can play tournaments of 5k, and 10k without problems, but that does not mean that they are professionals, they are recreational players, who have the money to play such tournaments.

A professional may be someone who is playing poker full time, 8 hours a day, like a normal job, and poker earns an income to pay for living expenses.

I think that you can consider yourself a professional only when you win a lot in the series in championships in tournaments or in cash games and you win a lot and take prizes many times!

Beginner loses money, inter can manage to stay at breakeven, pro can earn money

yanslad · May 30, 2020

For me being a pro means you make a living from this you know?! No other source of income.. that the money from poker is everything you've got. But you can still be a profitable player, advanced skilled and play poker as a hobby. So I guess it's a matter of knowing rather your monthly payout comes only from it or not

I think real professionals do not think much about this issue

Martin Carreira · May 30, 2020

In addition to having earnings that allow you more than an extra income to your salary, I believe that a true professional player must learn to control emotions, more than anything in defeat. When we want to play for more money and recover what has been lost, a good player controls those emotions and looks at the long term. Cheers

I get myself a beginner, despite the fact that I spent about 100 dollars per month playing nl2, but I am aware that at a higher level I would not earn anywhere near the same 100, only for that reason I already know that I still have a lot to learn

Greetings,

It's intriguing yet alarming how most of you tie being a professional to profit while at the same time confuse being a professional to having a profession/job.

So you say you'll play this game for 10 plus years and only consider yourself a professional if you make money?

What about tennis players, golfers who join "professional" tournaments, year in and year out yet never make the money. By this standard, are you saying these bottom players are not professionals?

If that's the case then it should be clear. You're only a professional if you make a profit/living and consistent money.

In my book, you're a professional the second you step into the arena. Once your money goes in, win or lose, everyone has a chance. Everyone is pro.

iwont20 · Oct 9, 2020

When you're living off your poker winnings, you are a pro.

leoronin · Oct 9, 2020

Yeah im definitely a pro .........at losing my money lol

Transcendence · Oct 9, 2020

One hand was enough for me to find out that I was a professional. I am the ultimate poker champion. Poker is me! This is my game, it belongs to me and the same as me.

Mati532 · Oct 9, 2020

Professional player I think that it would be if I dedicated myself to this, but I really believe that I will never consider myself a professional player!

Patoamz95 · Oct 9, 2020

At the moment I am a beginner on the way to becoming a pro, I am in a learning process and also accumulating my bankroll

If you won the hand, you're ahead of 99.9999999999% of other players.

Congratulations. You are a poker champ.

If you lost the hand, you're officially a professional loser. GG ma'am!

By definition, you aren't a "pro" until you make a living playing the game professionally. As will all things, pro is short for "profession," so unless this is your profession, you aren't a pro. You might be good, but you're still an amateur until it becomes your primary source of income.

rodo 2285 · Oct 11, 2020

I believe that when your earnings exceed your current salary per month of what you dedicate to support yourself

Newzooozooo · Oct 11, 2020

Hi.
For me, poker is a hobby that allows me to relax and unwind. I believe that I play poker at a fairly good average level, as evidenced by my results over the past year and my gradually growing bankroll.
Good luck.

Belgiumburnley · Nov 21, 2020

I'm a beginner. I play low stakes and make a few bucks a month (when I'm lucky)

adueno81 · Nov 21, 2020

i would consider myself a pro if i won an average of a hundred dollars a day.

Zvezda kz · Nov 21, 2020

For me, a pro is a player who, on an ongoing basis, regularly earns stable money in a certain period of time, for example, a month. And the higher his limit, at which he plays, the higher his professionalism.
I can only evaluate my level as striving for this level, at least at low and medium levels.

ToNy70929 · Nov 21, 2020

I am a poker lover who loved this game one day. I want to make money, but there is no stability. I'm far from the pros
