using poker to your advantage on your resume

[Byrn]

Well, I'm a long term winning poker player and I play online quite often. I also interviewed dozens of people over the years when I was in management at a financial services company. If any one of them had mentioned poker I would immediately think they don't know what is and isn't appropriate to mention in an interview, and therefore won't innately understand what is/isn't appropriate to discuss with my company's clients.

To me, it would display poor situational judgement. An interview isn't just about technical skills, its also a forum to evaluate the person you are hiring. That being said, it does make for great lunchroom conversation as mentioned - "You ever watch poker on tv?" and go from there...
