I do not know any professional poker player. I had one friend that won a very good prize playing a poker tournament, but he was not a professional player.

I have several friends who sincerely consider themselves professional players, but they are not. I don't tell them that they are ordinary players so as not to upset them :)

Professional? YES!
Famous? NO!
I do know one guy I consider a Professional Poker Player as he doesn't have a day job, He has travelled all over Europe playing in some big Tournaments, and although he has not won any major titles he usually cashes in most of the Tournaments he plays in.
He also owns several Properties in our home town that he rents out through an Agency and they do all the maintenance and repairs, So if he does have a bad run in the Poker scene he can still survive of his rental business.

No and No, although I know many players and even more people who have lost a lot of money or even entire fortunes.

If I know a professional player in Venezuela, his name is Talabi and he is a Spins & Go player. He is one of the best in this modality

Funny I actually worked in the oilfield with a Canadian pro. I had no idea he was pro until my friend noticed a few years back that he was the top Canadian after day 3 at the World Series main event!!

I don't know professional players personally, but I know players who play regularly and have an income from the game. I do not consider them professionals because they play only in their free time.

I only know professional players from watching their videos. So far, I haven't had the pleasure of meeting any of them.

To know such players, you need to play in live world poker tournaments or be their relatives, I don’t have any.

I don't have any professional players among my friends. I have friends who play and play quite skillfully, but they are not professionals, just like me. I hope that one day someone I know will become a professional player.
