Default Clever Poker Player Job Titles

Saw a thread awhile back where someone didn't like telling friends/family he played full-time and wanted some advice on what to tell them he was "doing". I tried to do a search, but couldn't come up with anything....so I'll start one here.

What are some clever job titles that one could use with family or friends at a cocktail party, Thanksgiving dinner, etc. that gives a true/glossy description of what a poker player "does".

I find "Statistical/Financial Risk Analyst" to be better received than "Moron Herder". [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Of course nowadays thanks to the WPT you're better off just telling everyone you're a poker player. Even Moms are ok with that one now... Its not like the disgust we used to get way back when, like before 2001.

Slur it a little and speak real quickly, and tell 'em you work in Asset Banishment.

I told my family I was a semi-professioal poker player. Their response was "cool"
