Re: Pro Poker Players as Job Applicants
A verifiable track record proves the winning player, the diff between a participant and a winner is huge.
As for chess, backgammon etc the human psychology aspect is less of a factor so I see this as an apples-to-oranges compare.
My assertion is that poker skills are much more widely applicable in more life situations overall than skills associated with other kinds of games, and that these skills are useful in getting and keeping a job. Poker skills are in fact very useful in any kind of goal-oriented activity involving people, incomplete information, and a range of possible outcomes.
