Mentioning poker when applying for college?

don't mention poker. poker involves no skill and all luck, and everyone eventually loses all their money, becomes a degenerate gambler, and lives in a cardboard box. right?

Don't forget that it also turns straight A students into bank robbers.

I think they rob little old ladies instead, to feed the cocaine habit they developed from partying too much.

The problem is that they're likely to assume that you're a gambling addict, so I wouldn't make a big deal of poker in your application.

I mentioned poker in mine because it was starting to sound really nerdy, so I talked about hosting poker games at my house and stuff.

Ok, thanks guys! That's what I was afraid of but I still thought that it might be different in the US somehow...

The US is looking at banning internet gambling/poker. No, it's not different. [censored] government

Bad idea when applying for college. With jobs, it depends on the boss.
