[Fushicho]

Has anyone else noticed that a lot of Poker players work in IT?
Maybe it's just because that's may circle of friends, but seems I've met a players that work in IT.
In my poker group (of 12) more than have are IT guys!

Hi.
I personally know at least 8 drivers who play poker, and I also know three mechanics who also play poker. What do you think this has to do with?
Good luck.

That's fine, I just wondered if it was my circle of friends or other people found a prevalence of IT workers. They don't - that's cool.

The best local players I know are both programmers. I think they have the right sort of mathematical mind for good poker.

 

[infonazar]

People of different professions have different hobbies. I just think that poker is a great hobby that will suit almost everyone.

Some friends of mine play poker but none of them are programmers or work in IT.

 

[Syltan]

Among my friends of poker players, no IT. They mainly work in areas where manual labor is hard.

It is unlikely that this is just a coincidence no more))

 

[besplatnee]

My comrades have practically no experience in the game, I advise you to study, I see how work for me is poker reality.

 

[FoxMS]

Honestly, I did not notice such nuances. I work in construction and know quite a few professionals in my profession who are also interested in poker.

 

[TaigaMaster]

I think we (IT specialists) are just smarter than most people

My friends work in completely different fields of work, but we all love poker and go offline in our free time, none of them work in IT. Once I was driving with a taxi driver and he was driving playing poker with his phone.

I think this is just a coincidence !!! It all depends on your social circle !!!

 

[Maxmustdie]

i think working in IT is more interesting, stable and profitable than playing poker

 

[poliaris747]

I completely disagree with this interpretation of the question, it's just that each person has their own social circle.

I work as a sales manager and also play poker in the evenings. A lot of my friends also play sometimes after work.

 

[schwede777]

I know 5 semi-professionals from germany and there is not one working with IT. One is a owner of a small 24h newspaper & tobacco store, two of them are mechanics in a car garage and the rest is actually without employment...

 

[natelearnspoker]

I’m in consulting and all of my friends who crush poker are quants and work at hedge funds. I suppose their strong understanding of statistics and game theory helps a lot,

 

[MikeDTT]

I m a driver in real life but i did so many jobs like worker or farmer. From 4 years old i drive drom first time my dads car and from 18 years old i professionaly drive even trucks.

 

[nanida888]

I would not say so, among my friends who play poker there are people of different professions, there are almost no IT specialists, mainly builders, salesmen, economists and others.

 

[lcid86]

IT folks like to figure stuff out. Part of what drew me to poker.

 

[casique31]

I work in the prison service in my city and I have several colleagues who are fans of poker but none of us are very good

 

[Roller]

Count me in on the IT side but I unfortunately don't know of many poker players that are in IT or as far as that goes in any specific profession.

In general, the profession of players does not necessarily have to correlate with their hobby. Some like chess, some poker, some unemployed, and some in the army. Therefore, I believe that our profession and our hobby is a conscious choice of each individual.
