yea he sat at 1 table of OH with 30K then split to 3 tables when he hit 120.

not saying hes bust, but at least he's being smarter...

Even when Bush was in office, inclusive of everything I'm paying over 40% of my profits to the US Govt, and if I have a losing year I'm just ****ed over.

Also, the idea of paying taxes on PLO winnings is hilarious to me.

Tax Haven FTW?

Word was that Tom had a very good summer. The action was insane in Bobby's Room and he cleaned up. They played like up to 2k/4k PLO in the summer. I've bet this isn't the first time he's had a swing like this

I thought word going around was that he was getting murdered in the live games in Bobby's room?

not that I have any idea how much he's made playing live, but saying it can't be more than 5-6M is ridiculous. he's been playing live games where $1million+ winning sessions happen for over 2 years.

No, that is not how it works.

It works that way for the stock market, but not for "gambling" income. You can not carry over gambling losses. The laws are designed to encourage people to gamble in the Wall Street Casino, but if you gamble anywhere else, they **** you.
