别把玩扑克当成你的投资

　　一些主要事件的名字是粗体字来的，包括多伊尔布伦森，安东尼奥埃斯凡迪亚里，还有一些不大可能统计的数目和统计不大可能数目的利弊，命名为“Phil”。最主要的事件，然而，是bucket-list业余爱好者，也许其中一些人已售出苹果公司16股份用来支付10000美元的入场费。

　　有这么多人打扑克，或者在电视上看，扑克和投资相比较，在专业的投资者中它已成为一种时尚。第一，有明显的物理现象：这些活动的参与者通常是在室内工作，坐下来，把钱投入风险，希望提高他们的净资产价值。

　　高知名度的扑克玩家帮助巩固这两个游戏之间的关联，他们在华尔街白天的工作付出了很多，比你在平均拉斯维加斯卡赛的更好。早在七月初期，绿光资本的创始人戴维·霍恩完成第三个在一个特别讲习班慈善比赛。在这样做时，露丝击败了 48个世界级球员中的45个，获得了1000000美元的入场费。（一个名叫菲尔的得了第四）。露丝通过他的努力，赢得超过3000000美元。这可能是一个舍入误差（或一个侍者小费）就像对冲基金的巫师短路雷曼兄弟进坟墓。

　　艾因霍恩并不孤单。一个最热门的扑克玩家现在是前法国巴黎银行衍生品交易员名叫安迪·弗兰肯伯格。在过去的一年里，弗兰肯伯格赢得世界扑克锦标赛赛，以及世界扑克巡回赛。

　　另外，有不少的书籍和文章把扑克和投资进行比较。这些通常强调的概念，两者常见的风险管理和预期收益。

　　Some Main Event entrants are boldfaced names, including Doyle Brunson, Antonio Esfandiari, and a statistically improbable number of pros named "Phil". Most Main Event entrants, however, are bucket-list amateurs, perhaps a few of whom have sold 16 shares of Apple to afford the $10,000 entry fee.

　　With so many people playing poker or watching it on television, it's become fashionable among professional investors to compare poker with investing. First, there is the obvious physical similarity: participants in both activities are generally working indoors, sitting down, putting money at risk and looking to increase their net worth.

　　Helping to cement the connection between the two activities are high-profile poker players whose Wall Street day jobs pay a lot better than your average Vegas card tournament. In early July, Greenlight Capital's founder David Einhorn finished third in a special WSOP charity tournament. In doing so, Einhorn bested 45 of the 48 world-class players who'd put up the $1 million entry fee. （A guy named Phil finished fourth.） Einhorn won over $3 million for his efforts. That's probably a rounding error （or a bellhop tip） for the hedge fund wizard who shorted Lehman Brothers into the grave.

　　And Einhorn isn't alone. One of the hottest poker players right now is a former BNP Paribas derivatives trader named Andy Frankenberger. Within the last year, Frankenberger has won a WSOP tournament, as well as a World Poker Tour event.

　　Plus, there's no shortage of books and articles making the comparison between poker and investing. These usually emphasize concepts like risk management and expected payoff that are common to both.
