I was wondering when do you know that you have gone close to being or even pro??

If your askin, your not even close. In pool, Pro's are easily accessible to play against in tourneys, gambling, etc. You can draw your own conclusions then. Start finishing high in regional tours consistently, and you will be getting closer, but still aways off.
