Poker Semi Pro Definition

What is the definition of a pro poker player and a semi pro poker player? Are they defined by the amount of money that they make? How many tournaments they win? Mike Caro once defined a professional gambler as someone who makes at least $30,000 a year and for whom gambling was their primary source of income. Would people agree with this definition? Are there only two types of players: rec and pro? If I formally study the game (as in reading books and online resources), but head down to the 1/2 because it's fun and also to try and boost my house down payment fund am I a rec player? Am I a semi-pro? What the hell do these terms mean? ‘The semi-pro outfit looked to be coasting to victory after leading 3-1 midway into the second half, but West Lancs side Eagley pulled the scores level.’ ‘Meanwhile, Saskia's family are thought to be trying to persuade the semi-pro footballer that she is just playing games with Maxwell and their relationship isn't serious.’.
