How do you know when to consider yourself a professional poker player?

When its your primary source of income? Pro isnt a skill level, although obviously strongly correlated, it really means it is your job.

Not pro: Being a millionaire, playing 10/20 NL losing more often than you win, but playing alot.

Not pro: Losing/winning small amounts, not nearly enough to quit your day job, but enjoying the game of poker.

Pro: Winning consistantly at mid-stakes or higher, poker is your primary income, you play live tournaments/cash games, and your daily grind is most likely online.
