Whenever I would play higher than normal I would think that everyone was trynig to put moves on me. This would lead to FPS. All I can say is to not overthink the situations that you are in.

Re: **** The Well - ZepHendrix ****

Hey Zep, was wondering about some career advice...

My background is in computer science, but I've always found finance to be a more interesting topic. I hate reading programming magazines, but love reading The Economist for example.

If I have an M.S. in computer science from a good school and some solid work experience as a software engineer, what type of finance job could I realistically expect to land? Would I have to start as basically an entry level employee, or is my experience cross-transferable?

I don't plan on doing this currently, but if full time poker didn't work out for some reason. Last question, would I put poker on my resume? Do you put it on yours?

Bumpaments. Thought this thing was dead.

I was talking to an OG about this yesterday. I am not really sure. I mean, I think there will always be fish and bad regs. I think I will probably be around for a while but I think most will either grow tired of the game or have it pass them.

With your background I think you could work for any automated trading firm. The entire industry is moving towards trading on the screens and the floors are dying. This means that almost all big firms need system guys and developers to build GUIs and manage their networks so they can trade. It sounds like you would be perfect for something like that.

I think putting poker on a resume is fine as long as you explain in your interview very concisely how it is a legit profession with long term expected winrates.

Sleep. I sleep like 4-6 hours / night now opposed to the 8 min I used to get.

Until last month, I would play on 2 24" samsungs. The past 6 weeks I have been playing on my 17" laptop with no HUD, lol. I stack tables.
