I ask this, because I understand that bank management and many other skills of professional poker players make it ideal if they are getting older to move on to investments since they have good working skills... What do you think about it? I listen to you, greetings and excellent day for everyone:)

If you have that mentality I doubt if pension pots are in the equation. Most professionals might back themselves to earn money when the need arises.

I can't say whether they think about their retirement, but if they are professionals and if they invest, they definitely think about profit. The profit that a player earns playing poker can be invested in passive and safer financial instruments, such as shares in large companies, securities, or even real estate.

This option is possible. The portfolio can include bonds, bond funds, deposit certificates and dividend-paying stocks. Another approach is to regularly withdraw funds from investment income and principal. In this case, the investments are managed for the purpose of obtaining an overall return. Everything is bought with poker money.

Some of them definitely do, apart from immediate and long-term investment activities, some players actually retire early for better quality of life.
I suppose it's the same in any area - once you have the means to do whatever you please, you can choose to just waste all your funds or to make changes to your lifestyle.

bankroll management, investing, retirement planning, simple budgeting ... i hope someone analytical enough to be a professional would be versed in these things if they are smart enough to make the game a profession. that would be pretty crazy if they got to the professional level and haven't considered/mastered these other skills..s

Of course I think every pro think about that they will keep their money in bank roll and I think some retire from very young

I hope everyone considers their investments as they relate to their retirement.

I have seen a couple of pros who have set up retirement plans and may even help their stables with retirement planning and investments.

Esta opción es posible. La cartera puede incluir bonos, fondos de bonos, certificados de depósito y acciones que pagan dividendos. Otro enfoque es retirar regularmente fondos de los ingresos de inversión y el capital. En este caso, las inversiones se gestionan con el fin de obtener una rentabilidad global. Todo se compra con dinero de póquer.
Wow! Amazing answer! Thanks!

Algunos de ellos definitivamente lo hacen, aparte de las actividades de inversión inmediatas y a largo plazo, algunos jugadores se retiran temprano para una mejor calidad de vida.
Supongo que es lo mismo en cualquier área: una vez que tienes los medios para hacer lo que quieras, puedes elegir desperdiciar todos tus fondos o hacer cambios en tu estilo de vida.
Very very true! thank you for answer!

thank you for answer! yes, is important retire from very young or not, if the professional player want play to 60 years old, but a plain of retire is necessary thinking much years before of the retire, for a good proffit in the retire!
