In many states amateurs are taxed for every session they win, but they aren't allowed to deduct losing sessions from their taxes.

This isn't entirely true is it? I thought I read frequently that you may deduct your loses, but the problem is that you have to itemize them and can no longer take the standard deduction. Am I off here?

This is my first year of serious poker and I haven't done this before so I would like to know.
