That's probably why you are option D) losing player, can't relate

How do other players self-identifying as "pros" effect you in any way, shape or form?

Is it just that you'd like to have this badge to wear all for yourself because you rule and they don't?

I don't get it.

or maybe you think it matters because you're option E) marginally winning player who wants to tell people he's pro because it's cool but wants to avoid looking like all the other donkeys who call themselves pro, but in reality is one of those donkeys himself

Your snappy sarcastic reply obviously scores big points on 2+2 (or as I think of it, a.ssholeland), but actually the guy is right... why could this possibly matter? In life, small minded people are caught up in classifications, while winners just do what they do and don't sweat labels.

I don't see why it matters either. And I would not be a "d".

People who can get out of it what they need. It is that simple.

I read up to here and decided to comment now since I won't read the whole thread and I think you're a jackass for saying that...

I play for a living. I don't see what all the hype is. If I went on ESPN or whatever I would be called a "pro". However who really cares? It's just a term. I always just say I play for a living but whatever. If you make money at it and pay your bills with it who freaking cares what you call yourself? Of course some people have trouble with egos happily I dont as i'll readily admit to everybody I suck at poker.

And this is really the highlight of this thread. I could, by the common opinion of this thread, call myself a professional porn star, for there was a time where I was unemployed and my sole source of income was the $600 I made for two days work in a video that I was in in 1997.

Woohoo. I cant wait to tell my girlfriend's mother!

Titles are to make people feel better about themselves and questioning those titles are for people that feel inferior to those people that have titles.

Sanitation Engineer -> Janitor. Whats in a name? You play poker for money? Great. Doesnt make you a better player than me, the porn star. And it certainly doesnt impress anyone.

My point? Call yourself whatever you want. You are the only one it really matters to anyway.

I was more so looking at not what people refer to themselves as but when you hear someone ELSE say what they are, what would that make you think of.

Some people are taking this wayyyyyyyyy too seriously and personally.
