Pro Poker Players as Job Applicants

[Jeffage]

If everyone were like you, I'd give it a try for a year and come back to working if cards didn't go so well. Unfortunately, many employers would politely tell you to get lost with that big hole in your resume (as well as worries about your gambling, particularly if the job involves financial transactions).

My reply to Dr. Al states that from 2003 to 2005 the image of poker has improved dramatically, that many people know the lingo, and a few really appreciate what it takes to develop a complete game since they may have tried to do so and found it aint as easy as it looks.

None of these trends can hurt the successful player in terms of selling those skills to an employer who understands poker, in the right spot.
