Also, you can't call yourself a pro if you are unemployed and play poker, making it your primary income... except I'd tell everyone I was a pro
Playing poker because you make as much or more $ than you would at a regular job and playing because you can't find a job (or don't want one) and you cash in $50 a month is 2 totally different things...This makes no sense what so ever.
Hard to say because its hard to define what a pro really is... for example, BelgoSuisse once mentioned that he has a full time job yet makes about 2000 a month 8 tabling 100nl or 200nl, I cant remember which. Is he a pro? Other people on here im sure have no jobs and play a lot of poker... and lose a lot while they're at it. Are they pros?
Imo if you decide that you play poker professionally and you are making enough that you can live on it, you can be considered a pro.
