Default Another tax question! (For UK players)

I know this has been discussed many times before, and the answer is that gambling winnings in the UK are not taxed, unless they are your main source of income. My question is what does "Main source of income" mean?

My poker income has overtaken the income from my full time job. As I can make much more hourly from poker, Im obviously considering going part time, and playing more poker.

At what point would the taxman start asking questions? What if your employed income, for example, is 10k a year and 50k from poker?

I mainly play on the internet, so all poker winnings go through my bank. Any issues with regular income this way?

I'd be interested in hearing any advice from any UK players who have experience of this.
