i dont know guys - i'm kinda wishing i was still a pokr player so i could tell women.
this happens so often - last night i'm out at a bar and she says oh so what do YOU do after talking about her job forever. i say i'm a consultant, then the normal "what do you consult" blah blah blah then i'm like "but i just came off of a career as a professional poker player" and she gets all interested and talks about how cool it is and we have something awesome to talk about and i wind up closing the deal.
i feel like very often it actually helps with girls rather than hurts - other people don't feel that way?
Thats a promising story, but Im still caught in two minds as to whether I would use this line when I meet girls in bars.
Last year, I attended my first year at college, and when I met girls it was the pretty standard "yeh Im a first year Business major, whats your degree" BS chat up lines.
But this year, I quit college and am playing poker completely full time and Im not sure whether it will be +lifeEV if I go round telling girls I meet in bars that Im a poker pro. Overall, I think it depends on the girl, since you will get the type who will be like "WOW you made 40k in 3 months playing an internet game, thats awesome" and then the type who will be like "ZOMG you are dropout degenerate gambler".
Just a side question, what do people think is a good profession to tell people who you do not think should know that you are a poker player? I mean, I still want something that sounds impressive and can explain my decent income for my age, but not something that is A TRAGIC GAMBLING ADDICTION!!1!!
