TO Employers - ALL poker players are Degens, simple fact.
TO Discerning Employers. Some poker players display some real business skills in becoming winning poker players and when working and committed to you will probably be great employee whilst at this level. HOWEVER, they are winning poker players and as Hitchhiker has mentioned they have an independance outside of the role you offer them that undermines you as a boss/employer . There are hard times in business just like in poker so when the going get's tough they really don't have to stick around with the rest. Unfortunately employers do generalise. Saying you are a winning/losing/all dancing poker player defines you as a poker player, you will need to be very selective to who you send you CV to. My advice is not to define yourself as a poker player BUT to define yourself via the characteristics of a winning employee. Thst is the critical point.
That's the benefit of my 20 years working anyway. I dunno why I'm so interested in the discussion. Guess I'm just looking for something to take my mind off Rooneys hatrick tonight. Please Fergie don't pick Park.

I have mine coming up in April. Looking forward to getting it out of the way, but dreading it at the same time!

This is just blindly untrue. I can think of 10+ professional poker players who are not. fwiw im not particularly saying this isnt me.

I think you are clouding your judgement of poker players you may encounter on a regular basis, with those who are actually doing it successfully for a long period of time, whilst living balnced lives. These people would be well capable for most positions of employment.
When "one of our own" are so happy to apply general stereotypes, then realistically - what hope is there for a random interviewer
FWIW - rooney first goal for sure. Man U 1-0 win, on the break, back post header!!!

To say they would be the first to "abandon" the team when the going gets tough, is infact offensive.

Was it indeed muck or is it just the cultural joke that proved ive gotten old?
But I think they were funny in and of themselves anyway.

I would hate that - much easier to have it out of sight, so that I can slip a brown envelope to the external examiner.
