    Not sure I particularly fit into any of those... I am not a beginner, and I think I play too often to be classed as occasional, but I don't spend hours researching the game and strategies, I like to learn through playing so I wouldn't say I'm an enthusiast. Although I am enjoying playing the game more recently, it still always comes down to the money at the end of the day, so although I do have a full time job I have gone for professional.

    + $10,000 months have a lot to answer for ;)

    Where's the 'addict' option?

    Well, professional, by definition, means you get paid for it...

    ...which makes me a professional writer, poker player, speaker, and document controller - but not all of those fit on my passport :D

    Only one person has called themselves a learning beginner, so far.

    Typical, no? We're all experts. ;)

    The only one I am not is a professional.

    Top 3 all true to some extent

    None really fit the bill for me, I'd say I'm more than an enthusiast but a long way from being or wanting to be a professional.

    Unfortunately, telling your job center adviser what you have done to look for work this week is not classed as being a "speaker". Signing on to get your dole is not classed as being a "writer", and cashing your giro does not make you a "document controller".


    I'm kidding of course, but you'll never show us anything you have written, you'll never give us examples of where you've been a speaker...but yeah....I'm just kidding.

    my answer really would feel split

    if it was tourneys then the answer is easy i'm a beginner learning the game.

    but with cash i can't really see my answer in them i now can dominate the beginners, i would put myself the next step up in cash where a villians bets are not so obvious.

    This isn't very pleasant. I'd suggest you stop trying to mock and undermine people.

    Actually, mate, I have been paid for my writing - there are plenty examples of this online, and in print; just Google my name - and I have been paid to speak at functions, not that I should have to explain either of these things to you. I have been writing fiction since I was a kid. My full time job is as a document controller.

    Thanks for your input.
