Default Re: Can\'t Decide, Poker on the Resume??

Maybe 1 in 100 will view it favorably, would be my estimate.

Half will think you are a lying, cheating, degnerate scumbag and roundfile you after showing his friends in the office what some jerk sent in on his resume. You might as well put "convicted felon" there to get the same response from this group.

The other 49% will having a spectrum of negative reactions from disgust to who cares.

That's just my gut feeling having spoken about poker and gambling with many many people. The usual reaction from the non-gambler is "Gambling? I don't even want to associate with it" while presumably conjuring up images of mobsters, hookers, and suicidal fathers jumping off bridges having gambled away their family's security. That's just how most people are conditioned to think about "gambling."
