Am I a PRO?

Hello,

I have currently been playing poker for 10 years and have been very sucessfull over the years. I am sponsored by pokersponsor.net so they take care of my bankroll and over the years I have brought in over $600,000 in profits in my carreer including losses. I pay taxes on my income and have placed in 7 major online poker events. So am I a professional? Am i free to call my self one? Please let me here what you think being professional poker player consists of..

Nope, you are definitely NOT a professional. In order to be a professional you have to be on TV a lot in big tourneys and everyone has to know your name. Otherwise, you're an amatuer.

Ok, on a serious note, YES YOU ARE DEFINITELY A PROFESSIONAL POKER PLAYER. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img] So go out, celebrate, dance, enjoy it! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

No. Pros don't need to make money by spamming internet messageboards with pokersucksysponsorforfish.net.

Do you have a lot of relatives in Nigeria? Banking or oil interests there? hmmmmmmm? Just curious.

Wait, what is this site you speak of, forget your question I am interested in this amazing service you speak of, I cannot believe there are places out there that will sponsor such awful players!

If you have to ask, then you aren't.

ok...this thread sucks...clear excuse to hijack

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?

wow, I'm a retard.

I actually couldn't see why it was spam, until I read it 3 times.

I thought it was just a moran.
