To be a professional anything, you have to have it as your primary income. That's what makes it your profession. So, to best answer your question, it's another question: Can you make enough money in poker to live within your suitable means?

This is not a question of how, but a question of when. When you can make enough money by playing poker on your free time,then you can consider to play it full time as playing it professionally. Before that happens, you are going to need a real job first. You need to give more detail about yourself, so you can have a specific answer.I play poker for a living, feel free to contact me on my site. http://www.pokergratifica.it

I wouldn't recommend quitting your job right away to play poker as a pro.

Your best bet is to make sure you have another steady source of income. Then study the game and play part-time (online is the most convenient, and you can also get rakeback and deposit bonuses, which can help build your bankroll).

I started out semi-pro and had a regular job and waited until I had solid results over the course of hundreds of thousands of hands played online, before I quit my job completely.

Just be aware that poker isn't as much "fun" when you're doing it primarily to earn an income. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but just something to be aware of.
