cwsiggy makes a good point.
I hear many firms looking to hire trader / market maker types look at a winning poker history as a plus, since it requires many of the same abilities (rational decision making and thinking in terms of BB or %, not $$).

For a CPA job, they'd probably just see you as a gambler and show you the door. Just like most things, it depends.
