I've read threads where people are asking if putting poker on their resume is a good idea. This is my take on why people ask that question......tell me if you think I'm right or wrong.

I think it is obvious that putting poker on the resume is a bad idea......but poker players have big egos when it comes to poker especially if you are a winner....so by asking if one should put poker on a resume is another way of showing off. You are fantasizing in ur head that ur sitting in front of the interviewer and he says "you play poker too?? so do I" and then you can excitedly elaborate on how much u've won or start talking shop with the guy and teach him strategy and he'll think ur so smart. I am not trying to put someone down for asking such a question, bc I dream of that scenario too. As a matter of fact, when I am at work, I deal with patients and anytime I detect that the pateint may be interested in gambling I kind of prod to see if they play poker. I am hoping they play too and we can discuss winnings/strategy. My ego takes over and I can't stop myself.
Asking if putting poker on a resume is like when a murderer brags about a murder......he knows he shouldn't but he can't help it bc he is so proud.
