Default Re: not disagreeing

If the interviewer is not a poker player, there ain't no way in hell he will say "Yes I admire your poker playing abilities because I hear that you have to have great analytical skills to play poker well"........he will either think nothing of it and not even notice it (in which case there was no reason to put it in) or he will think you are a degenerate.

Sure, you may be right about that. But I was answering this claim:

[ QUOTE ]
1)a Non-Poker player: in which case he/she will not care or frown upon your poker exploits

[/ QUOTE ]

We don't know if they will "care" or not or if they will "frown" on it or not. Milo suggests that they will care and that they will frown.

This very much depends on the job you're applying for. Many people with quantitative/analytical jobs (engineering, finance, etc.) understand that poker is not the same thing as roulette, i.e. that there's a lot of math and a lot of strategy to it, even if they don't play poker themselves.
