Oh really? I guess that depends on your goals as a poker player, DankHank have I seen you on ESPN playing poker, or on the travel channel playing poker on the WPT or on Poker Superstars, or Ultimate Poker Challenge? I don't remember hearing your name when I've been watching those events.

Perhaps his goals are not the same as yours. Also his real name is probably not DankHank.

But you're probably right. If he hasn't won the WSOP then he shouldn't ever think or write about anything that doesn't put him in the money next year. Even if that means going to jail in 3 years for tax evasion, [censored] it, you aren't going to win the WSOP if you spend 2 hours thinking about taxes! It takes dedication, baby!

I'm no pro by any means, but if I were, this would be the time of year that I am worrying about taxes. Just like any other profession, you tend to start thinking about taxes right around now. Who cares if they are posting it on this forum or not? This is after all a poker forum where a good percentage of the posters play poker for a living. You can't just tell them to not worry about taxes and just worry about the game. Thats like telling a plumber to not worry about filing taxes for his business and just concentrate on his love for chasing doo doo.

In all seriousness, this isn't healthy or productive behaviour. I'd reccomend a new hobby as you are almost certainly delusional.

People who make a lot of money at poker care about taxes.

talking about TAXES????? Who gives a bleep!, just play poker, do you think that when Phil Ivey, Chris Ferguson, Gus Hansen, Daniel Negreanu, or any poker pro got to the point you are at now, they started thiking about taxes and asking questions like, can you really make $100,000 a year online playing poker?

[/ QUOTE ]
I assure you they thought about taxes like any responsible person not wanting to owe the IRS a lot of money with very possible prison time. Also I don't believe online poker was booming like it is now otherwise they probably would have thought about it too.

Caring about taxes is a sure sign you are a good poker player.

Do you see why?
