Re: How will part-time players survive a regulated poker site?

There are some states where (for *state* income taxes) you have to file a schedule C (pro gambler) to deduct losses. That's true now, so it wouldn't be any worse if a site was regulated.

If your...

Re: If you had more then $10k in neteller in 2006 but didn\'t pay taxes

It's very unlikely you will get audited or ever have to pay if you don't speak up. For me, though, it was worth paying anyway to avoid having to worry about it. As you get older, you realize that the...

Re: Question for people who withdraw from FTP using checks.

No problem cashing the check at WF, no fee last check I received. But I asked for a 5k check May 29 and am still waiting. Their email is now saying 15 business days (used to be 2-3 days), so I guess...

Re: Filing taxes as a \"losing\" professional gambler

For some reason, these people have a lot of anxiety around taxes. I hate sending the check, but considering that I'm filing completely honestly, I don't feel scared (maybe I should be?) Hiring a CPA...

Re: Filing taxes as a \"losing\" professional gambler

From my understanding, there's no reason you can't file as a losing professional and you shouldn't owe anything. I would let the personal loans slide under the table as long as it didn't affect the...

Re: Ok, since i\'m turning pro i\'m gonna start filing taxes. HELP!

Canada is completely different and a lot better than the U.S., from what I hear. Negreanu has a really nice tax situation even though he is living in the U.S., due to his Canadian citizenship.

Re: 5/10 NL --- common/lame spot with QQ

I'd play it the same way against a shortstack. C/R the turn seems standard; I expect him to call you with a bunch of crap that you wouldn't normally expect a call from. I'd expect to be beat a fair %...

Re: 500nl live - Aces full, how to maximize value?

I think you realize the biggest mistake was on the turn. C/R is fine, but make it bigger. If he's tight, he's not calling without 2pair+ whether the raise is small or large. Might as well make it...

Re: AK in late posistion (Loose table)

Re: trips from SB

Seems fine to me. 'T' is not a bad random kicker for a 9. 96 would be a lot tougher. I'd call the first raise and then pray for a 6.
