Should I put poker on my resume?

This is obviously not a matter of life or death, but do you guys think I should put texas holdem poker as one of my interests? I am an intermediate player, I think of the expected value of my hand and people's range, and play pretty tight aggressive. However, I don't really consider other statistics consciously and have only played very small stakes with friends, online, and in European casinos. I don't view poker as gambling, but others, such as my parents, may. I know for Aaron Brown from AQR poker was a gateway to finance and risk management. What is the worst that can happen, if I put it on my resume?

 

Sure.

Just always have good talking points for each part of your resume.

Poker is a good talking point for certain roles and be sure to emphasize how it relates to the role and what you have learned from it.

"If you always put limits on everything you do, physical or anything else, it will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them." - Bruce Lee
 

It really depends on the person you are talking to. I am really into wine-making and one of my interviewers was very interested in hearing about that. Another interviewer thought I was an alcoholic.

Facilis et omnis in praesentium quae voluptatem. Facere veritatis consequatur consequatur vitae et et sit. Omnis consequatur sint sed neque tenetur. Minus ducimus eum ipsam quia incidunt.

Maiores pariatur cupiditate facere ea deleniti. Rerum commodi voluptas cumque deserunt rerum. Et eum fugiat et aperiam corporis quia nemo. Et ut rerum in praesentium sapiente. Eos amet illum quaerat rerum aut.
