Default Re: Ways of reporting poker winnings

Gambling losses are deductible to the extent of gambling winnings as a miscellaneous Itemized deduction not subject to the 2% limitation.

Unless poker was your main source of income, or you didn't receive a W-2 from anywhere, report the winnings as other income and the losses to the extent they don't exceed the winnings.
