Who is a "professional poker player"?

[Atararo14]

A professional poker player is a player who has understood the path to generating a positive return on investment over a large number of games played.

His profit depends on the level of the stack and the number of games he plays.

professional is the one who makes money for living using his profession.

In my opinion, someone who has more gains than losses, dedicates themselves to it, and the profit is enough for them to live on. I'm not sure if it's the exact definition, but that's what I see as a pro player.

In my opinion, to be a professional poker player you need to have a regular cash income elsewhere.

A professional poker player can be compared to a small business owner, and every successful business has a clear development plan. It is a systematic approach, the presence of a clear concept and an eye for the future that distinguishes a professional from an amateur.

a professional is when you've already earned a lot of money and you don't need a job.

It is not necessary to be a professional to earn something, the main thing is not to lower the bankroll left to right and play responsibly and the earnings will be 100%👍

In my opinion, to be a professional poker player you need to have a regular cash income elsewhere.

This is the very definition of a recreational player (imo).

It is obvious that professional players are players who live from the income received from playing poker. I think the income of a professional player starts from 3-5 thousand dollars.

Who can make a living from poker!
And he likes what he does.

Not me, I have other jobs... + if you don't have a job, earning 2/3k a month from poker, sitting in your room and thinking you are a pro on the top, nope - that's not a pro poker player...

A professional poker player is a person for whom poker is a source of livelihood, and professional players earn in different ways, everything depends on their skills, someone does not deny themselves anything, and someone saves on everything. Everything is the same as in other jobs, the profession is the same, but the earnings are usually different.

for me professionals should get 80% of their income from playing poker.
