I thought you couldn't put money in a regular or roth IRA unless it was earned income(like from a job)? So a SEP-IRA would probably be the best option?

That's correct. If you have no earned income at all (or poker is the lion's share of your income), then you'll probably be declaring as a professional, and all the poker income would become self-employment income, and a SEP is a good choice.

Poker income is "earned income", atleast according the following cardplayer article:

So my understanding is that it can be used to fund a Roth or whatever. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
