Definition of a professional poker player

In fact, it is quite vague to define a 'professional poker player'. For example, in the case of a professional Go player, it is necessary to pass a difficult admission test such as the eye of a needle, 온라인카지노 추천 and in the case of an e-sports game such as Starcraft, first pass a match from the e-sports association to obtain a semi-professional license, and then through the draft of the game team. There is such a process of joining a professional game team, but in poker, there is an official institution or association that issues a professional license, and after passing the entrance test, “You are a professional from today, you are an amateur”

There are no such distinctions or standards at all.

So the distinction between professional and here amateur is quite vague and I think we should discuss the criteria for that difference a bit.
