Glocap? I don't know if it's good or bad or what.
Nope, not solid grades. 3.0 in Math from Virginia Tech.
Basically I'm screwed?

Yes.
To break it down:
3.0: bad
Math: good
Virginia Tech: marginal
Not knowing what business Glocap is in: bad
Not having had a job since college: bad
PM me if you want more specific advice.

"real" job.
I'm sure my poker experience is infinitely better than most other candidates who worked some worthless out-of-college job, the trouble is conveying that to them. Maybe it is futile since HR will automatically shoot it down when they see it.

Well I'm sure, your poker experience was infinitely better and enriching and all that for you but the trouble is convincing companies how that would help them. They want someone reliable who would do crap work for them and you track record suggests that either you lack the aptitude or motivation (relative to your competition, of course).
