    Should I include Poker as an interest/activite on my resume? Did you?

    I don't think I've ever included poker on a resume, or an application. I'm not sure what type of consequences (good/bad) you might experience from doing so, especially since everyone will have a different opinion. It might be better to leave it off, or maybe generalize it and say you like card games.

    That's a good idea. Most people (*cough* republicans) are anal about "gambling", so it is best to keep it vauge.

    Yeah, leave it off. Many view poker as gambling, and would likely see you as a degenerate. :-(

    I know. That is pretty sad. I don't wanna geralize it either because the only other game I play aside from poker would be rummy.

    Fucking people! lol

    Meh....tell them you play Rummy & Solitaire. They might not even ask either.

    You know, another option is just to tell them you like long walks on the beach, puppy dogs and doing stuff to save the Earth.

    That should get you the job.
