Nope. Not unless I changed my lifestyle (more on that in a minute).
If you decide to buy a lottery ticket tomorrow and win $1 million with it, would you consider yourself a professional lottery player? Somehow I doubt it.
I don't think "results" are what determine profession, and that's how you seem to be looking at it. If Joe Blow spends 50 hours per week playing poker (he has no other job) and hits all the big WPT events, even if he end up having a losing year, HE is a professional poker player..... not the guy who decided to enter the WSOP Main Event on a whim and lucked his way into a big payday.
