When do we determine a poker player is "professional" versus "amateur?"
If poker playing is your main source of income, or the main activity you spend your time on, you could call yourself a professional. Maybe one day, we'll put you in our Pro Poker Player Bio section!
Being a professional poker player does not mean you are a good poker player or that you are even making money playing poker; there are alot of people in different professions who aren't good at what their title is, but that is their job title.
Some more well known pro poker players actually don't make much money with the poker playing itself, but all the advertising and other activities around their poker playing.
So being a "professional" is a matter of labelling oneself the title as there is no official place that decides whether you are one or not.
If you spend the same amount of time playing poker as a traditional full time job, you could consider yourself a professional. Now whether you make money off being a "professional" is a different story...
