Seems like you guys spend more time talking about money than poker

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.

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

Do you see why?

I'm sure you were never a losing player before, always a winner right from day 1, winning big money, right?

I didn't think so

Maybe you should try looking through this forum a little bit more carefully. It's the best poker resource available online and probably the most valuable resource period. Try contributing some of your ideas in other people's posts; you might actually learn something.
Also have fun going to jail after you win the WSOP and dodge taxes.

PS- Telling us about your broken hand and begging for pity is quite a bit more off topic than people discussing taxes.

Cut your losses and stop pissing people off man. Most people here are very wiling to help you out. Some have, but you didn't read all the posts in your previous threads. So you made a mistake and didn't realize which forum you should be posting in, it's not a big deal. Just move on and try to contribute and learn.

A number of the winners on these forums were winners from Day 1. We approached the game by reading quality 2+2 books, and in stakes we were bankrolled for, and were helped as we started by the amazing amount of information on this forum.

We didn't have to post to get this. We just read strategy posts, hand posts, bankroll posts, bonus whoring posts, anything we could. Hell, I didn't register for months after first visiting 2+2, since I didn't need to post to get the info I needed, I just had to look for it.

And by looking for it, I managed to find 5 related or totally unrelated threads that helped my game on top of the answer to the question I was looking for.

So once I started playing online poker, I was a winner. Before this, I had just played nickel and dime games of 7 Card Stud as Middle and High Schooler, and ignored Poker through my first two years of college.

If you subscribe to the theory that anything worth doing is worth doing right, you will find those sort of people began their poker careers as winners.

Dude, don't be so sensitive.

And FWIW, I would wait until I no longer described myself as a fish before I started throwing out Heads-up challenges.

AND don't be offended, I am truly curious in a Keeping-up-sort-of-way, did you really have to go all the way up to 32 to use Thundercat as a Moniker ? I think Barney and Teletubbie are both unused.

I agree. Personally I find myself focusing too much on he money. It should be like 90% poker and 10% money.

Latest, I am succeeding in shifting the focus.
