lying about poker.....

Or even better keep on playing and set up our own company. Pokerstrategy.com are just about to launch trading which will be an educational site teaching primarily poker players how to trade, perhaps this would fit the bill ideally.

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.

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?

I will most probably still be playing poker as a hobby as i love it more than badminton(close, actually) and pizza (also, v.close) but all my close friends have good jobs after graduating, and i just feel like now i need to grow out of the pro poker player thing(which was obv good when i had money/was binking, going on holidays etc) and find a stable income.

as we all know about tourney variance it's just far higher than i ever realised....plus full tilt screwed me.....and pleno i'm open to any ideas....like i said, this was my first proper interview and i'm sure i will be going to many more if i don't get this one (find out tomoz, but 6 other people applied and 2 of them already worked in another department )

I wouldn't wear the blue stars hoody for interviews either btw.

Just to conclude, lets lose the cheeky grin, the limp lettuce handshake, and the hoody, then we should be good to go.

Fair enough Pleno - good luck with the venture.

What does he do about his big hands though?

Tell the interviewer you're a pro pokerer, explain you have an insane edge and then try for staking.

I think it's definately a good idea to look at other employment options outside of just playing poker. The bubble may burst eventually and it certainly is a game you can work hard on in your spare time and at weekends and by doing that you get a better overall life balance. Poker isn't everything, it's just something. You may even find when you play more for enjoyment and not to feed yourself your results actually improve.

Good luck, at 23 with no real commitments the world is your lobster! (ogden 1985)

Mantis, you are very funny and always like to have the last laugh....but seriously have u stolen that hoody from me because i lost it time ago and would like it back ?
Kinboshi i forgot to mention that i really appreciate your advice further up in the thread, and i havn't got big hands i've got pianist hands, and i dnt know where all the banter started maybe because i said i'm big???
dungBeetle i'm guessing pleno replied to you, but i really have no idea what you're talking about.
thanks junior, yeh i'm still young, not too worried about life tbh atm i'm sure i'll be just fine no matter what some people on here think. yeh i totally agree that poker results are  hugely determined by state of mind and that a big % of my poker downswing has been when i needed to win most

update- i'm yet to hear back from that job today so i'm guessing it's a no
