Re: IRS Withholding on US Tournament Winnings Starts in 2008

The PPA needs to pick its fights carefully. If they spread themselves out on too many issues, they won't be effective. And if the PPA is to survive (so that it can fight these kinds of tax issues), the first thing it needs to accomplish is the legalization of online poker. Nothing is more important, and anything else is just a distraction.

Part of that is establishing that poker is a game of skill, not luck. I think we have a need to be here getting poker seen as skillful by the IRS. If we win this argument, we'll be far better off.
