Professional Poker Player is such a jaded term nowadays. Anybody with an internet connection and time can call themselves a "pro" now.

In "MY" opinion. A true poker professional is someone who makes thier entire livelyhood playing "Live" at the casino. Plyers like Ivey, Harmon, Brunson, Greenstein, Chan. All those high stakes ring game players are true professionals to me. As well as all the regulars you see at the huge money tournies. I know winning money online is no different than live. Like I said, that is just my personal definition. I really think the number of winning online players is skewed with the ability to multi table. During live play you only have the table you're at to ply your supposed "skill".

So please don't take any offense, all you online gurus of the felt.
