Who you"re playing against, at what stakes and how much you win are all irrelevant as to whether for APAT purposes a player is a pro or not.
And if we have any issues, we privately discuss these with the players in question for any future events.
In this case, Gary is not playing in an APAT event, so this discussion is just hijacking a positive thread about an APAT player about to have an incredible poker experience, steamroll some of the best players in the world and scoop a lot of money.
Let"s keep it on track, and Good Luck Gary. GET IT WON !!!!!!!
