How to know what level are you in poker? Pro, beginner or inter?

Good afternoon friend! With such a huge variance I consider myself a great amateur

When start getting paid for what I do - a profession

When do you call yourself a pro?

You don’t.

If someone else considers you a professional, I’d say that’s a much better way than declaring yourself one.

And no pro (a legit pro, not some random who plays 6 hours online a day, plenty of those amateurs around) is going to waste their time convincing others on a free roller forum that they are.

Just because you make $12 a day on dollar MTT’s or $.01/$.02.....that alone won’t cut it

I think that a professional person is a very small number. Error-free calculated actions of which give the possibility of excellent high stable income

I am a simple amateur and a fan of Poker
Even though I feel like a pro when he made it to a final table

Snake2007 · Jan 31, 2021

I will consider myself a pro player when I make a lot of money from poker until then I am not.

matiascecci1990 · Jan 31, 2021

I´m an amateur player, because I play poker to have fun! i never saw it like a job

Alexander Rubcov · Jan 31, 2021

Probably having passed a certain level of play and skill.Working on the game and constantly improving your game level.

scobido · Jan 31, 2021

In the online game you have nothing to improve, because the anything depends on random, here you have to be patient as much as you can more.

I think it's hard to say, but I think that's what your winnings and everything you find earned through this sport will tell you and if you really just live off it

When you make a living out of playing poker.

Jyko3 · Feb 1, 2021

when you can read an opponent you can consider yourself inter already, after this, only time will get you to pro

Rabberto71 · Feb 1, 2021

I would consider a pro poker player to be someone who can make a living from playing the game

AjR3ckless · Feb 1, 2021

I believe that you will be great!

donpiatnik · Feb 2, 2021

I think it's already the one who makes a living from it stably and quite well. And winning some of the more prestigious poker tournaments is enough for me.

Sabrinaamoura · Feb 2, 2021

No

I don't even think about it now. I'm evolving every day and that's what matters at the moment

Yea looking to become just that

ekgbeat · Feb 3, 2021

I don't think there is a clear answer on this. My normal response would be "Well if you make 100% of your living from poker, then you are a professional". I don't think that is true since people like Fedor and Polk probably make more from the courses they sell then playing. I would still call them professionals.

TLDR: No clear answer on what makes you a pro.

619Leafs · Feb 3, 2021

I feel I am at pro level when I reach a live WPT or wsop event.

poliaris747 · Feb 3, 2021

I think you should realize this for yourself, but only after analyzing your games for example for a month or a longer period, or after 1,000,000 hands played.

mclaughlinph · Feb 3, 2021

consider myself pro when poker is my only job.

Adi8877 · Feb 3, 2021

How I see, the mainstream consider it, if you are owned by a poker site, I mean you are an official face of them.

However, most of the pros are unknown.

Anyway if it is simple if you are able to reach a steady income, live off by poker with less than 40 hours play/week, probably you are something like that.

Personally, never could consider myself as pro, in any meaning, as even i know where i am profitable, the bankroll management, tilt handling, when is the time to leave the game for a while, at least for the given day, is still not working, even if it would, the pro means something more for me. Anyway, without the live CG or tourney profitable part, hard to name anybody as pro.

The real pros who I consider as pros, rarely play online - at least before covid -, most of them high stakes world traveller CG, high stakes live tourney players, whose play much rarely than an average player. Oh and most of them, the poker is not the main activity.

When it's my full-time job and I'm actually making decent money. That, and also a television appearance.

Rahatis · Feb 4, 2021

I consider myself a Freeroll Pro at the moment.

When do you consider yourself pro?
