I don't see much point in leaving that kind of thing out. I like poker, I don't much care if somebody thinks I'm wrong, it'll be an interesting interview at least. I dunno what percentage of the population thinks that poker = bad, perhaps it's worse in the US than in the UK, but I was under the impression that most adult males in the US had played at one point or another in their lives.

Anyway, you have the opportunity to argue why poker is a skill game (albeit indirectly) in your response. Plus, it's much better to put a truthful answer than some random [censored], what if you have to talk about it during an interview?

What's the job you're applying for?
