While the rest of us slave away at hourly jobs, you spend your time playing cards and taking money from people who aren't as smart as you. That's pretty fucking cool in my book.

The crux of the issue comes in how your frame your answer. Do you come off as a nerd who sits at home playing online poker like some introvert who is obsessed with WoW, OR do you frame yourself as a modern Wild Bill Hickok traveling to exotic places to make your living from games of chance, surrounded by loose women and stacks of money. That's how I like to imagine it, anyway.

Also, I think you're story would be vastly improved if you carried a gun. You're white and live in Texas, for gods' sake!!!
While Poker Jesus does have the most enjoyable job here, not everyone is slaving away.
