Thanks to the guys that took my posts seriously. I talked to my friend and he said that they don'ttax the money that you lose. So saying that, I took a lot of money down to Vegas and lost a lot at the Blackjack and Craps tables. Stupid me. Does anyone know if this is true or not? And the reason why I don't play hiher limits right now is because I feel I can dominate the 15-30 tables I'm playing at right now. I might take a couple grand and give 30-60 a try but I feel that I might be to intimidated and I don't know if I really have the bankroll to do that.

Just now I sat down at a 15/30 on Party and got JJ in my BB followed by AA in my SB. Those 2 pots combined put me up over $350. 12BB in 3 minutes equates to 240BB/hr so I was thinking about quitting my day job and playing poker making $57,600 for an 8 hour day.

I plan on retireing(sp?) a millionaire in less than 3 weeks. I'll let everyone know how it goes.

Ok, so it's been another 3 minutes now and I've gone completely cold-decked and haven't even played my last 3 hands. Now I'm only averaging $28,800/day and I can't reitre for over a month. Bummer.

Where are the guys who took your post seriously? I haven't seen any yet.

This is rediculous. I called an EP raiser with T5o and the flop came 56T. I slowplayed by only calling his bet. Turn came an A. I still just called his bet. River brought another 5 and we capped it and he shows pocket Aces. I can't stand these fish that play here because they're always sucking out on me.

I'm only up 5BB's now after 8 minutes. This is only $1125/hr and now I'm looking at almost 4 months of these suckouts before retireing. Poker sucks.

Dude, multi-table the $5k buy-in NL. Bust a couple of guys in your first few hands (say, on 2 of the 3 tables) and boom, that's $10k right there in like 5 minutes. Pretty sweet.

Gambling is tax-free, but playing poker for a living isn't.

A source close to me claims if you play poker (or any game with potential skill-based income) for a living (i.e. your main source of income) the money is taxable.

Be sure that you comped for dropping 40 grand at the BJ & craps tables. A free room, with a escort waiting inside, isn't out of the question.
