lying about poker.....

[doubleup]

A defininte no no. To most people poker is gambling. Think from the interviewers point of view. They dont want to give the job to someone with any risks attached. To them, the uninitiated, you could play late at night and arrive knackered each day, play at work, have a gambling problem, etc, etc. They may think worse if they see how much time and effort you put into it. There are certain things that have to stay out of cv's, and for now ,unfortunately, poker is definately one.

Unfortunately this is very true.

We've left that all behind - I think the debate is now whether OP will ever get a man because his hands are too big.

Hi th777,

Nice blog.

I've met you oce and had a really bad experience you wet being verbally offensive and were horrible to play with, you do come across like a nice guy online tho

WOW! I've just got in and seen this..... I'm guessing this is a joke ? Because i have alot of respect/etiquette at the poker table for everyone and anybody.....and find this really hard to believe pleno??? as ANYONE i know i'm sure will say.  SERIOUSLY!! VERBALLY OFFENSIVE??? I'm like a mouse lol. please include more details pleno ?

I have only ever fallen out with ONE person over a discrepancy EVER IN POKER IN 6 YEARS! and unless he is your friend(which is possible) you have probably only heard one side of the story and i'm not going to go into more details or say his name, unless he wants to comment on here..............(more than welcome)

As for the big nose comment, lamm is one of my closest mates and this is banter.

 

I'm not experienced in an interview environment but if you take the attitude that you've displayed in this thread into a job interview I can see you looking for a while.

Dan, what attitude m8? seriously was having a fun night.......fml

[pleno1]

you wear a blue stars hoody yeh?

[cambridgealex]

Can vouch for Tom, having played a decent number of times with him, he's never done anything like you suggest pleno nor given me any reason to believe he's capable of it.

[pleno1]

Might e a different person but it was a guy called Tom, blonde hair wearing a blue stars hoody and was the first ever grab pros that dtd ran an was at the 6nax side event. Long time ago and maybe not even you.

[th777]

you wear a blue stars hoody yeh?

LOL i have done yes.......carry on..........

thanks alex, and i don't even know alex that well.............

sounds like me........... grab pro's ? i'm more strawberry blonde

Haha sorry, gran priz's. We had been playing cash and losing on average 100 a hand for an hour and then when the 6nax comp started I ended up getting moved to your table, I remember you saying some quite ba stuff and was getting some unneeded rub downs and comments web I was simply just trying to donate like a fish. I I was a normal local fish I would definitely have been out off going back.

Obviously was just that one day as you seem popular with all the regs.

Gl with the diary!

jeeeez....that sucks for me! The last thing i would want is to come across/give unnecessary rub downs to anyone. I mean that hoddie isn't even mine lol it's Ben Dobsons......i think i must have borrowed it from his as i didnt have a spare t-shirt as i'm from peterborough..... also, if this was near the beginning of my poker playing i sincerely apologise and i have learnt alot since then. This isn't supposed to be a diary and i just wanted to create this thread to get advice from anyone that's been in a similar position to me that have now landed a job they want. I have acheived this, so it's probably best that i dont post again.... because if it wasn't for alex whom read this and replied you'd still have the same opinion?

[pleno1]

I guess, I guess I was kind of a dick and then anti railed you from then on in updates etc. Sorry though.

Sorry for even posting it, guess it was bad of me. How about working in the poker industry and then you wouldn't need to lie, it would be beneficial if anything

[cambridgealex]

Enjoying the diary Tom.

lol.....now i'm going to get slated for making another comment box when i said i wasnt going too..............
I mean I'm open too any ideas for jobs..... i mean i'd like to think my c.v still looks v.good except for my poker career, in which i've had some amazing times.
no worries pleno... you at the chipleader tourney? I'll buy you a drink if i can scrape together some coins

[cambridgealex]

I wouldn't buy him a drink! I like pleno, but that was out of order of him bringing up an incident from years ago that he wasn't even sure was you. I think he realises this too so no biggie. But he should buy you a drink imo, plus he's got the lot so won't have trouble scraping together the coin!

Re-read the thread and actually I think that was pretty harsh, so I apologise. I guess I misconstrued some of your posts on first reading.

gl with the job thing but if you made decent money in the last 3 years why don't you just keep on going, cut down your expenses and end up with a lot more money?
