Why Wall Street Is Recruiting Poker Players | MintLife Blog | Personal Finance News & Advice
"Since the 1980’s, Wall Street has offered some of the most highly coveted jobs in the country. And historically, there have been only three ways to get in: knowing an insider, having a top-flight degree or serious business experience.
Increasingly, though, Wall Street firms are looking for employees with different qualifications: specifically, poker skills. Unlike connections or degrees (which are seldom predictive of job performance), poker skills demonstrate an authentic ability to think and act intelligently under pressure."

I've come across numerous Craigslist ads offering jobs in the financial sector and targeting poker players.

That's how winners play; we convince the other guy he's making all the right moves.

"Once we reach a certain level of mastery, we see there are higher levels and challenges. If we are disciplined and patient, we proceed. At each higher level, new pleasures and insights await us--ones not even suspected when we started out. We can take this as far as we want--in any human activity there is always a higher level to which we can aspire."

bigred's such an ignorant piece of shit, it's not literally a street made of wall, it's a tiny shopping complex in a small city in southern new zealand:
Wall Street Complex - Dunedin City Council
