How does one Qualify to become a Pro, & Who (m) "Anoints" the Pro.

When does one Qualify or Officialy becomes a Pro. Is it through winning at sanctioned Poker Tourney's / Cash games, (WSOP, WPT, Various Card Rooms)cash games other than the Sanctioned Games? Is there such an entity as a Professional Poker Board, (like the American Bar Association, Medical Board,) etc..? May sound like silly questions to some, but I don't know!!, thats why I'm asking.

In Vegas, you must be approved by "The Matador". He runs that town...

Most "pros" I know don't care about the distinction of being a pro or not.

I think you have to have endorsement deals.

Reply to my-self. I figured it out. [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img] A Professional is one who's sole income is derived from playing Poker.(endorsemants included). Ya know like, Baseball players, Football, Golf,etc... [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
