The Poker Player Great phone call on Bob Brinker's Anniversary Show on Sunday. A caller who claimed to be a poker player from west coast called the show and explained how he was making approximately $40,000 annually from playing poker after a management restructuring. The caller stated his net worth was $1.4 million dollars and he was interested in securing his financial future by placing 50% of that amount in a Ginne Mae fund and the remaining money in an index fund. So what does this have to do with investing? Playing poker, investing and speculating are all rooted in probability theory and without explicitly talking about probability analysis the caller expressed how he applied this theory to his poker and investment activities. Further, by wanting to secure his financial future by taking "some money off the table", (50%), and placing it in a Ginne Mae fund he was practicing sound money management techniques. What a call. Probability theory and money management techniques being practiced soundly. This guy was a rare bird!
