What do you say when asked what you do for a living?
 

I have been playing poker full time for the past 8 months and when people asked what I am doing at the moment I feel akward saying I play poker online for a living right now. Is there a better term I could use? I also plan to play part-time now and get myself a job, so its probably gonna be the same issue when an employer asks me the question. I usually say I am an investor but when people ask me what is it that I invest in, I usually hate saying I invest in cards. For some reason I dont feel confortable saying I am or have been playing poker for a living. Daytrader? Investor? Gambler? Is there a better or more specific term that I could use?

i am not pro poker player, but I do have a trust fund and get the question on a seemingly daily basis... It depends on who asks. If it is some judgement rich prick then I say im an investor (do you own a house? Say you are a real estate investor then, lol), if it is a normal person who i know will not give a crap, i just say "i am in between things right now (inferring that i am a lazy pos), and laugh at myself."

These both seem to work fine
