Win lots of money, quit your job/school ... your a pro. If thats how you want to define a pro.

Happens by doing a lot of hard work!

Win lots of money, have a style for your game and your image. Win.

Win a lot. Online, be one of the very best in the world. Real life, have some really good stats and/or a major tournament victory. Probably got to be at least one of the best 1,000 players in the world.

Probably got to be at least one of the best 1,000 players in the world.

Or have a very brandable image and/or (un)likable personality.

Its often not about skill.

You can either be very good, very marketable, very famous for another reason, or very good friends with a part owner.
