Nice thread guys, interesting to read everyones input. Im just wondering if anyone here has spent time being a professional poker player and how this has impacted them looking for future jobs? I imagine most places would hold it against you if you were a professional poker player and would not employ you unless the job your applying for is in the area of poker or gambling. I imagine also this will impact you when applying for a mortgage or loans from a financial institution. Just curious if anyone has been in this situation as I think this is something people should consider when they have ambitions to become a full time poker pro. (I dont have any such intentions!) But I read a few threads here where people have this intention and some doing so successfully but I imagine there will come a point they will pack it in sometime and have to look for pastures new or still have to apply for a mortgage from a financial institution despite making a living from poker.

Good point, and yep I agree it would be difficult in a job application to say pro poker player! Not sure the answer to that one, other than keep playing or look for a lower down sort of job (or gambling related, as you say)
Im so confused by all of this, firstly i thought redman lee was yoyo. Why does Richard keep getting emails? And who the hell is Dorothy squires? Posted by RLT16
