How many Americans watch House? I just watched the episode where House kicks ass by mobile in the hospital fundraiser tournament.
How many watch Star Trek with their regular home game including Stephen Hawkings?
Presidents play poker, Hollywood stars play poker it is part of the folklore of the American West.....far better to tell the truth than lie.

Playing poker as a hobby or in a home game while you are employed in your usual trade is not going to be perceived the same way that a "professional gambler" is perceived. Richard Nixon partially financed his first political campaigns with his poker winnings but you can be sure he never brought it up in his campaigns.
Not sure what watching Star Trek has to do with anything. Are you going to put "trekkie" on your resume and hope that the managers you send it to are also "trekkies"?
