I just worry about revealing my poker hand before the game has started...

Much like "ratholing" in poker where the player takes his chips off the table and ends up only playing with the banks money. 

, most of it is acquired through poker and i do make 5k per month (on avg because you can have like a 10k month but then next month be down like -1k like trading etc.) but it's not considered a real job i have the bank statements to prove to a lender but other then that i'm not sure what direction i should go any advice and posts are appreciated thanks!
