Capital allocation, for example, is a skill that poker can help to improve, because allocating chips in a poker game is a form of capital allocation. An internal program at Peak6 Investments to empower women in finance has led to 36% of the capital allocators being women, an"extraordinary number," Just said, in a world of finance where even the largest banks have as little as 4% to 5% of women in the ultimate money decision-making roles.2.
Poker, ultimately, is about more than making money — each lesson is focused on a higher-level mission. For Just, that mission is creating a safe environment for women to understand what it means to sit at the table, and how that relates to conversations in conference meeting rooms and all the way up to the board room.
Professional poker is very difficult and takes years of study
