There are two other people here who have had the opposite response including one who had to present this in court. So the CRA is contradicting itself.

I think it is a matter of the way you present it to the CRA. If I was in your position, I would find any type of other work related activity, such as setting up your own consulting business in order to show that poker is not your sole source of income. A business does not have to produce money to be legitimate.
