At what point can we be considered a "poker pro"? At what point can we be considered a "poker pro"?

Hello,

First, sorry for my bad english.

I'm writing this because I took poker to another level over the last 6 months.
I used to be a recreative player but last year, I started working my game a lot more and making some poker pro friends that helped me tremendously to reach the level I have today.

I make between 1500€ and 3000€ a month now and I have a very strict routine which include mental working sessions, review sessions, theory, etc...
I also work with RaiseYourEdge content.
I also have a super nit bankroll management (over 600 ABI), and I forgot to say but I'm a MTT low/mid stakes player.

In parallel, I'm a student in my last year before graduating but my life is 100% focused on poker right now.

The thing is, nobody seems to really believe in this life project. Nobody seems to think poker can be a job.

I would like to have some feedbacks from young players like me who got into the poker life "full-time" after they finished their studies.

I'm already thinking about flat sharing for next year, as I made a few poker friends.

2019 is definately NOT the best time to become a poker pro, but I feel like if you work hard at it, there is still plenty of money to be made online.

Yeah if you can have no job and win enough consistently to 1) live your life and 2) keep your bankroll slowly growing, then sure, call yourself a pro. If it's still working for you a year later, then you're probably a pro. 5 years later and still doing it, definitely a pro.

Recreational poker player: using timebank to drink beer/light a cigarette or a joint/smashes screen & keyboard + of course, the perception that they can still win despite being down several thousand $ lifetime

Poker pro: hits his gutshots in 3b pot

is all.
