I've noticed a lot of quants liking poker. Do you like poker? Do you play poker online? What are some good books or video tutorials in learning poker? How much have you made so far?
 
Some do, some prefer chess, some prefer soccer.
 
....Or figure skating

I know.. I know...
I'm just reading The Quants and it opens with an intense poker match.
 
I read the first chapter and couldn't read the rest. It's so fictionalized.
Tmaloney, believe me when I say I was going to reply with the same exact thing. I truly don't know how someone can fully read that book. I don't even believe I got through the entire first chapter...
 
quants love pocker and bridge. Especially developers willing to program a bot handling multiple players.
 
Let's add one type to quant types: quant developer, quant strategyst, quant trader .... quantitative gambler or quantitative pokerman :)
