How Long -- How Well

[burgerman 0]

DN and other pros --If an amateur player were to go full-time on the tournament circuit and play cash games as well, how long would the amateur have to play and what progress would they need to make in order to gain the respect of the big-time pros? Would they need to win within a year, how many final tables -- cashes, would they need to make money consistently in big side games? Would it simply be the quality of their play that would win them respect?Just wondering.Best --Burgerman

Not a pro by any means but I don't know that you can easily quantify this.Being a consistent winner "over time" is what gains respect.....what "over time" means varies from person to person...one day you wake up and you're respected imo
