I dont know what that means .........

 

Don't be thinking the luck will always follow you. I run the house for a local poker club (for charity), and even the experienced ones tell me that you only win for so long. You're ahead. Get out and call it good. The guys who make a living of it are barely over break even. Luck only lasts so long.

 

man.. i know... i have been playing alot of poker for about 5 yrs solid.. i guess living 2 blocks from Harrahs in Lake Tahoe had some influence.. lol..

Its a roller coaster just like any other gamble.. i have lost and i have won.. but to date.. live games and online play im up about $21k over 5 yrs.. so break it down and its not a whole lot.. but enough that its entertaining as all gambling should be..

but true post none the less.

 

So that means you won a G?

 

pretty much.. actually $902

 

Well, Isnt that special!!! Haha, must be nice! I made $0 today.

 

Isn't this illegal?

 

do you have to claim this winnings on your taxes ? i've never gambled online

 

How would the IRS know?
