Also, I'd just like to say that those poker players with >$1 million that are investing in stocks and stuff are morons.

you seem smart, but this is a tremendously foolish statement.

ROI at poker is orders of magnitude better than in the stock market (for an expert player). A player who could make good use of the $1M at poker but invested it instead would be giving up significant (expected) money.
Of course, if a player with a million bucks can only beat a 30/60 game, there's plenty of non-BR money left over for stock investments

even if you're playing $500/$1000, a million dollars is 1000BB. why would you need to have more than 500BB immediately accessible? even in this extreme case, it's stupid not to put at least half that money to work for you. and if that 500BB somehow isn't enough, you can keep it in liquid investments that you can get onto the poker sites within a few days if necessary.
