No, it does not change your tax bracket.

What it goes change is your AGI. This can have an effect upon many things - for you a big one might be eligibility for student loans.

You will also not be able to take the standard deduction.

Ok, I would love to get some info for the little guys of the poker world.

I made $9K last year playing cards and are a full time student. This doesn't even come close to some of the things that my parents and I pay for together like school.

Should I be thinking of filing as a pro? It just seems so ludircous but I don't want to go to pound-me-in-the-ass prison either.
