What makes a pro?
Was wondering what makes a professional poker player? You hear them on tv refer to such and such as a pro and I have never heard it explained on what the parameteres are for becoming one. I would assume it would have something to do along the lines of gathering ones main source of income from playing and it being defined as a job for tax purposes.
I don't believe there is any governing body for poker , so there would be no status requirements to meet such a standard to become a pro.
Just wondering?

Yeah, that's pretty much it I think.
Well, not necessarily.
No, there is not. When you hear someone referred to as a prefessional poker player (on the WPT episodes for example), in some sense it technically doesn't mean anything.
