It doesn't surprise me people get difference responses, it all just depends on your confidence/way you say it. Saying 'i play poker' makes it sound like a video game you play while you should be looking for work, while 'professional poker player' even while bad, sounds better.

it also matters greatly who you are talking to. a dumb college girl in Vegas is much more likely to be impressed than a surgeon you meet at a dinner party.

again, i think the biggest factor is how you say it. def. ways of doing it to impress nearly anyone.
