Re: more evidence of the poker boom - scary
My friends and I used to play at sleepovers when I was 11 or 12 (I'm 36 now). Sometimes we'd just play for fun and sometimes we'd play for a small amount of real money. I don't think kids playing...

Re: what\'s more annoying?
You should have added a "personal conversations" option such as "Jim, I'll meet you in the bar at 7:00." "Okay, but I'll be there around 6:00, but I'll just have a drink or two while I wait for you....

I actually know ONE person (a pretty serious amateur) who is a paid subscriber. He doesn't make it to the B&Ms every month and he wants to get every issue. He's just one of those guys that can't...

Re: Government involved in Poker
In my humble opinion, I don't think this is anything to worry about. It's probably just hot air from a politician looking for issues that might get his name in the paper for a day. But even if the...

Re: Government involved in Poker
I'm not sure, but I don't think we're talking about a tax on "poker related income." All income from a televised poker tournament is already subject to tax. Everything the players, casinos and...

Re: File your Poker Winnings?
I think the main reason to report your net losses for the year is that you can carry gambling losses forward to future years. I think they expire in a few years and there may be a limit to the...

Re: Probably Not as high as you all think
Someone told me that they had increased the minimum possible score. It used to be 200/200. So, if you miss every question, you would get a 400 overall score. What I've been told is that this...

You make a good (semi-serious) point. It seems like there are people who joined in '05 who have as many posts as you do.

Re: poker pro to trading
Of course my advice isn't helpful, I don't know what I'm talking about. BTW, Wachtell is a firm "like Cravath or Sully."
My advice about trading is a sort of "informed conjecture." I know a lot...

Re: Daniel Negreanu - not an O+A fan
I am SHOCKED that WHFS switched to a Spanish format. I grew up in NoVa and HFS was one of my favorite stations. I'm astounded that their old format failed. I must really be getting old.

I agree. O&A used to be on in New York in the afternoon and I thought they were hysterical. I haven't heard them for years though. Ron & Fez also very funny.
