I, for one, would be very hesitant to hire a 'failed' poker player. Even tho you're a winning player, most people who gamble (poker=gambling for most people out there) are not, and someone who has spent 3 years gambling probably has a problem. And you do NOT want to hire a degenerate gambler for a job that requires trust with other people's money.

Not everyone thinks like this of course, but I wouldn't even mention poker in my resume if I were you.

Also, you don't HAVE to get a 100 hr/week job in investment banking if you don't want. There are actually plenty of 40 hr/week jobs out there. And you'll still have plenty of time to play. Your whole life will be better if it's balanced.
