Do Pro Poker Players Make Good Clients For A Financial Advisor?

[Vee Quiva]

I'll let a little secret out of the bag and just say that I am a Certified Financial Planner with a wirehouse in Arizona.

One of the newer trends in my business is building up your clientele by concentrating on a niche market like lawyers, doctors, etc.

I was wondering what the players on this site thought of having professional poker players as clients?

I have seen some threads that talk about how some of the big stars have little or no money and usually enter the big tournaments due to financial backing for investors. Obviously I want clients that have money of their own and are able to keep their gambling stake and their investment portfolio separate.

Is the nature of poker and gambling so much a polar opposite of conservative investing that I would be wasting my time?

Do any of the top poker players talk about their investments instead of poker?
