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.
I agree with you. I refer to myself as a semi-pro player, as I am drawing a regular paycheck from poker. It's helped out a bunch and now my wife is seeing the benefits of me spending hour upon hour playing poker on the net. It also helps me kill time as I spend every other week in a hotel room somewhere for my day gig.
