WSEx: Official Thread: January & February. (#5 of 6.)

[MyJunkIsYou]

hey all, long time lurker. I used to play regularly on wpex 10-20 and 20-40 but stopped due to an inability to adjust to the thinking lags and some suspicion of collusion. I changed sites and started emphasizing game selection more, though with recent developments I'm back to WPEX with the hopes that I'll be able to make money simply from the rake. What's prompted me to start posting here is, now that I'm essentially forced to playing in tough games on occasion, I know I'm going to have to further advance my game. I'm also trying to practice better game selection and focus on that more than the specific stakes or short-handed vs. full ring.

Anyway...I've been afraid to cash out on wpex, and have been monitoring this topic. Once I hear news of you guys' success I'll try for myself. Question - are you going to deposit the check directly into your bank accnt, or are you going to have it cashed or deposited into a western union accnt - I assume you guys are cashing out amounts in the thousands - not sure which route I should take for this. By the way, does the recent legislation affect things in terms of taxes? I've made enough money where I was planning on filing self-employed and taking out deductions for "business expenses" - but I'm not so sure anymore.

Thanks for the updates everyone.
