One of the players followed by the CNN cameras is Shawn “jordankickz” Busse, who won a WSOP Bracelet in 2010. He won over $300,000 with poker, of which $60K is stuck on Full Tilt. He believes getting the money back will be difficult and when he ever sees the money back, he sees that as a nice bonus (it was recorded before the news of Groupe Tapie buying Full Tilt).

But where to start? This poker job site is a great place to start your poker job search. There are articles on how to work in the poker industry, and jobs categorized by country, function and field.

Do mind that being good at poker is not a reason to hire you per se. It is definitely an advantage if you are a good poker player yourself for the function of say, a poker room manager, but it’s not the biggest skill needed. Experience as a manager for example, is much more important.

Having said that, having a passion in what you do is always good and with a poker job it is no different. Here are some examples of poker jobs:

-Poker writer: There are 1000′s of websites about poker on the web, who all need content. If you can write this is a great opportunity.

-Affiliate Manager: You work for an online poker and work together with so called ‘affiliates’ – sites that bring players to a poker room for a fee –

-Dealer: In countries where casinos are allowed a well-paid job. Also enables you to learn lots about the game while working.

These are just a few of the most popular poker jobs. Browse around on the site we mentioned before to get more info. Also, follow them on Twitter to receive the latest poker job offerings in your Twitter stream.

Check out the introduction video.

Here some screenshots of Holdem Manager 2:

I’ve done a lot of traveling in the last few years and have always prided myself that it doesn’t have very much negative impact on me. But this last trip to London for five days and back has knocked me to my knees. Talk about jet lag! I’ve literally been in bed over half the time for the past six days. I feel like a truck has run over me. I’ve got all sorts of meetings the next few days so hopefully I’ll feel better soon.”

and:

“I’m supposed to play in the Premier League tournament that is being filmed at the M Casino here in Vegas. It is the most widely watched TV show in Europe, with a $100,000 buy-in. That would be great exposure for DoylesRoom but there is no way I’ll be 100% recovered from all that dental surgery so I’ll have to cancel.”

Brunson will also probably miss the L.A. Poker Classic, the new NAPT and NBC’s National Heads-Up Championship. We wish Doyle all the best and we hope he will be fully recovered for the WSOP.
