Poker in application for finance job?

[goodsamaritan]

Don't put it on your resume or cover letter. It's a high risk, low reward stategy. They may see it and be slightly impressed, or they may be really turned off by it. I think best strategy is to leave it off the resume, but mention it in the interview if you get a good read on the interviewer.

Jason Strasser has a post going about this.

Every desk on Wall St is going to be impressed by the money Jason made. Unless you guys are within a couple integer multiples of that, they're going to assume you're a mediocre player (read, mediocre applicant) unless you can prove otherwise.
