Poker on the cv?
Was wondering whether successful poker players would put something down when applying for a normal job. I suppose it's worth mentioning if you've been sponsored, but does anyone reckon it's better to leave off in case the employer thinks you're just some deluded degen?

we talked about this last year with respect to the dealers amongst us. we thought it'd be a good idea to put one thing down ie. been a poker dealer, or president of poker society, but putting loads of stuff like that ie dealer, society member, sponsored, goes to vegas a lot, is probably pretty detrimental

Successful poker players should be playing poker not applying for "normal" jobs? haha.

Bracelets. Dream of bracelets.

I wouldn't put it. I might bring it up at interview if asked about hobbies, but no need for it to be on the CV tbh.
