Resume's

Does anyone have some tips on how to fill 3 years of not having a job due to poker on my resume? I don't want to sound like I was wasting my time and not working hard at a goal but I also don't want it to sound like I was just twiddling my thumbs playing .1/.2c. Any thoughts or advice?

if you have truly done nothing/close to nothing, there is no solution to this problem that is both ethical and effective

Pay attention to the punctuation in your resume, especially concerning apostrophes.

After some thought, I decided that last FYP was not lame. Well played. Others will disagree.

He performed his contractions perfectly. It's plurals vs. posessives he has problems with, obvi. Stop exaggerating, jerk.

Well I don't make it a habit of writing my resume's at 3:46am, so I can promise that my spelling, contractions, pluralizations, and apostraphe use will be accurate.

However, that still does not answer my question.

I did have some work experience in that time, and numerous student activities. I was wondering where, if at all, I would mention poker.
