Who is a poker pro?

f0b9f09710a5d7159e6741eecb65951ddc962fc874db11820689bd9c7e.jpgSaturday's poker guide discusses the factors and questions to ask to determine who is a poker pro.

"In a recent poker Op-Ed article by Steve Ruddock, he took offense to Beth Shak being called a "poker pro" in a New York Post feature focused on her giving away some of her massive designer shoe collection (over 1300 pairs) to charity. Ruddock objected to her designation as a poker pro on the grounds that he felt she was a long term losing player and that the majority of her money and income came from her reputed $50 million divorce settlement from high stakes poker player Dan Shak. Ruddock's reaction mirrors a number of others within the poker world who prefer a tighter designation of who is a "poker pro."
