What Makes you a be classified a poker pro? Do you need to win a big tournament, have big cash game winnings or just play at high stakes. Could a losing poker player be considered a pro?

Technically speaking I believe its just someone who makes their living off of playing poker. Don't really know how you become sponsored by a site if that is what you are asking though.

A poker pro to me is someone whose first source of income is poker, or they are considerably good at poker.

I think it will turn to a professional poker player who wins a major competition and find sponsors to live poker then you think if you do not support who will not even develop a professional poker player :D

Professional players have no more work than poker, poker pay almost all free time. I am an amateur, as I can not afford to only play poker without basic incomes for.

^ this. They don't necessarily have to play high limits or have won a wsop bracelet or anything - and there are plenty of people who tick one or both of those boxes who definitely aren't pros.

Well If you make a living by playing poker you are poker professional. If some portion of your income (which you need to live) comes from poker you are semi pro :)
