How to be a Professional Poker Player?

I've been putting a lot of volume in thus far this year and am very satisfied with my hours so far. I had an ephiphany of the job description besides winning flips. I think everyone can be a poker player the moment they sit down and get dealt cards. I really know I know how to play this game from a strategic and tactical point of view. It's the professional in the title that is the problem. Being professional means being able to grind the hands when things aren't going well. It's all the decisions away from the actual game on the felt. It's not raising when, checking when, or bluffing when. It's when to start playing, for how long, or when to stop. That's the more essential component of what I need to work on this year. There is winner's tilt, loser's tilt, and break-even tilt. I'm going to focus on not tilting as much and when I do to remember to calm down and take a deep breath and reflect on how nice everything is. In winner's tilt, I need to remind myself to stay grounded and how little I've accomplished. In loser's tilt, I need to remember that "Everybody will eventually run worse than they thought was possible. The difference between a winner and a loser is that the latter thinks they do not deserve it." In break-even tilt, I need to remind myself how lucky I am to get to do this whenever I like. In all the tilts, I need to ask myself should I pull myself from the tables or am I good to play my best. I also put 200 bucks on all the home NFL teams this weekend. 2-0 so far, let's cover, Minny and Miami. LOL, I guess I like a gamble because I didn't even look at the analysis around the web at all, I just saw all the home teams were dogs or only pick'em, public was on the road team, and I decided that lets flip. I love the dogs.
