Re: Poker as relevant experience for an investment banking internship?
[ QUOTE ]
I don't know if anyone here is anything to do with banking, but I'm applying (almost for the hell of it) for sponsorship from Deutsche bank for my university degree. Normally I wouldn't mention poker on anything like this, but I have a feeling they would appreciate, or at least not look down upon playing poker with a reasonable amount of skill.
Am I being hugely stupid, or do you think this will help me to get through the first round?
(PS sorry for the poker content, but OOT did seem the most sensible place to post this)

I'm a banker at a Wall St. firm, and I think you should definitely keep the conversation and/or the focus of your resume away from poker. It can only hurt your chances. Focus on school, organizational involvement, etc.
Good luck!
