1. A player that plays on tour for a living
2. Some that is hired by a professional billiard company, for sales or consulting, because of their billiard knowledge.
3. Someone who teaches pool for a living

Mostly what makes a pro is they can beat everyone else around them. EVERYONE. And no matter what other players throw at them, they find a way to get out of the rack and win it. They always have another tool in their toolbox if things get hairy. They do all the little things right, not just make balls and get shape.
There is no question they beat all the other guys in the nearest room (unless that nearest room is one of the few places where other pros play regularly). If they travel to another room, they easily beat those guys too. Even if they travel to every pool hall within 200 miles, they won't find anyone who consistently beats them. They slaughter the dudes who play in the ring game every week. And the owner. And that one guy who comes down just once a week to bust the tournament.
A pro is capable of beating literally everyone in his state except maybe other pros.
That's basically all there is to it - win win win. All that other stuff, safeties and kicks and a good break, that's just different ways to win.
