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

[Luzyfer]

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?
