[Closed] Poker @ a interview

Would you ever mention that your hobby is poker in a serious & important job interview (like for a bank)?

On one hand, you have all the things that you learn to talk about (BRM, odds, strategy, etc) but on the other you risk your interviewer being prejudiced against poker and immediately not liking you, destroying your chances for the job.

What do you guys think?

if you earn like a few hundred, no one will respect that

If you're actually applying for a job, your poker skills aren't good enough to mention.

The only job I think poker players skills would be beneficial on the trading floor.
