Yeah, I typically play through them on Blackjack and probably clear a decent amount of profit most of the time. Got slaughtered this time through only making $1 and $2 bets. Probably played 30 minutes before I lost it.

They do this to non-Americans for big wins; it would be amusing if that's where he got this from after he said that you were non-American so you wouldn't know.

Yeah I know. FYI it un-ticks "Auto post blind" when you time out (which is often obv). Basically just have to make it part of your routine to click "I'm Back" and then tick "Auto Post" again.

Gemaco, are you talking about cash games or tournies? I think the withholding thing is common for tournies (at least for non-US), but have never heard of it happening in cash games.

In my lobby they have been moved back.

Judging by the number of entrants pre-registered, looks like they might try to get some more ppl registered.

Either. I assumed we were talking tournaments, it would seem more outrageous to me if it was a cash game. Do you know what the limit is when the casino starts doing that? I assume the casino is doing it as a service for both the player and the IRS - but my guess is you could demand that money now and pay taxes on your own time in your own quarterly payments.

Plus how would they know your tax rate? What if you had already lost a million dollars that year and you filed as professional so you could net it, would you have to wait till the end of the year to get your 30% of your score back?

Are both Freerolls 25K prize pools or did they split the prize pool between the two tournaments?

Last year I cashed in two tourneys at Mohegan one for 6,500 and the other for 8,000 and yes they took out taxes both times. So get your facts straight!!

This question is hilarious on so many levels.

That's like asking someone to install high-tech sonar or yacht accessories on their 8 foot row boat with a broken oar.

I am pretty sure you didn't have to do that. But too each his own I guess.

Have they even fixed the thing where you hit the enter button after you typed chat it min-raises on whatever table your action is on?

So how to you reconcile this on your taxes? Do they hold 30% and then the IRS sends you a check back or does the casino send you a check? Just sounds like a logistical nightmare having the casino be your CPA.
