That's a great explanation of the Lederer phone call hand. Context is everything.

I got a chance to chat with Steve at Foxwoods. He struck me as a very decent, modest guy. He seems to be well grounded. I am happy for his new found fortune. I enjoyed talking with him and I wish him well.

That's pretty standard for gambling winnings in the US. It's a "luxury tax" at a very high rate.

He had to give half to his backer. So they went home with 2.6 Mil. I think 50% tax is the norm on winnings.

What I wanna know is how you can be a pro tourney player when half of your winnings are given to the government? Its like a 50% rake!!!
