Default Re: How bad is putting POKER on your resume?

Under the Special Interests section:
- "Expert Poker Strategy"

I'm such a loser. I need more stuff to put on my resume.

If employers only knew how much $$$$ can be derived by using "Expert Poker Strategy", they might possibly view it as a skill [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

I mean poker does involve analysis, math, optimal decision-making, and money management.

What ya guys think? (Scuba?) I DEFINITELY need an internship this summer..lol

Actually, a lot of investment bank/trader type jobs look at poker skill as a plus. My buddy works at Lehman and they actually do a poker training for new recruits. The right employer would see it as a plus, and the wrong one as a negative. Know who you are interviewing with first...type of job etc...
