Stick this thread in the muck. I simply can't understand the reasoning behind wanting to do this, why do people feel the need to include poker? Simply leave it out and move on, you have to realize there's no upside to it and a considerable downside ~

you are dead wrong.
the op is interviewing for a finance position. finance is a field that relies on the fundamentals of expected value, the idea of an edge, the longterm, etc.
i'd go as far as to say that when interviewing for finance positions, it's a nice edge to be able to discuss poker (assuming you're capable of discussing it well).
fwiw, poker helped me get an internship position at a hedge fund this summer.
