compare that to a CD where there is a 99.9% chance that i will have $1040 one year from now.

This is all apples and oranges. It'd be more sensible to compare the pros and cons of poker vs. working at the 7-11.

i understand your point. i'm just trying to figure out if there's some way that i can compare the risk/reward of putting $ into a poker bankroll for a given period of time to the risk/reward of putting $ into an investment.

in a sense, comparing poker to 7/11 isn't really apples to apples either because you don't need a bankroll to start working at 7/11. the initial investment required for poker makes it somewhat more like...an investment...than a job...
