Am I a PRO?

[young nut]

clearly you are not a pro unless you wear sunglasses while you do all of this...do you see why?

[ QUOTE ]
So, I have been making my living playing poker for well over a year now. Yet, I do not consider myself a pro. A professional seems like an earned term. It's for doctors, lawyers, accountants, and major/big-time athletes. It's a sign that you put in the time and effort and became one of the best. I do not think I'm a pro just because I can beat up the 10/20 at the local brick and mortar and the 2/4 online.

Maybe, I will consider myself a pro after 5+ years and moving up in limits.

Your thoughts?

stupid question. You are a pro in that moment, you pay your food and your home every month with pokermoney... if you do, you are pro... doesnt matter what tourneys you played or not...
There is a difference to a promi! ^^

Youre not a pro till you have the certificate. You can receive this certificate by sending $5,000 in small bills to my home address. I thought everyone knew this...
