Default Re: King Yao\'s thoughts on Poker/Trading skill overlap

[ QUOTE ]
Having read what you said, I've always considered disclosing my gambling career to employers but it definetly seems very risky, depending on their disposition. What do you guys think? One financial advisor told me not to because of obvious reasons.

I've been successful at poker for the past 3 years, started when I was 17 paying for tuition. I have also been successful with sportsbetting with 1000% return in the last year.

I'm a 3rd year finance student University of Toronto (argueably most notable in Canada) looking to get into the investment industry. My marks are only average, and I feel that my only options are: stockbroker or working in mutual funds. I'm considering to move to Las Vegas or New York

Any advice is much appreciated.

Stockbroker? Why not try and get a trading job instead?
