When complaining about this, start with the IRS, not Caesars. If the U.S. would follow Britain's lead and leave gambling winnings alone, then none of this would be necessary.

Once the IRS is involved, expect it to be painful. And if you do want to nag Caesars about something, focus on getting them to facilitate chops in the deep stacks since that would help everyone involved, including Caesars by ending the night early for their staff.

I fail to see how this is a real issue.

Nahhhh I'd rather my income go to fighting wars (and the occasional road/school).

Did the doubles event go off? Can't seem to find updates anywhere.

Hey, i have a silly question.
If the Day1C starts in 12.00 and i havent bought the main event ticket yet, so what time i must be at Rio.
Are there big waiting lines?

Despite having both of my $1.5k entry fees in the computer they wouldn't adjust the tax form, so I refused payout. They asked me to talk with Andy Rich "whenever he's in" but assured me that there is literally no way to adjust the payout in the computer.

This will probably end up with a call to Nevada Gaming later today, but am interested if anyone had the same experience. There was a similar issue with misreporting rebuy event buyins years ago.

Unless admo is a tax cheat this is a ridiculous post. Rio is doing it right. On the second buyin he won. He can show the receipt for the first buyin along with all the other tourneys he failed to cash in to offset this win.

Where can I find table draws? In other words, where can I find the names of people at a given table?

Did 2+2 do away with the threads for each individual tournament? Is there no main event thread?

TEKEE · 07-15-2012, 12:43 PM

Any 2+2ers ME staking packages still in contention?

DoGGz · 07-15-2012, 04:37 PM

weirdchess1 and Grimerat420 are both alive.

How long roughly does it take for a large WSOP cheque ($300K+) to clear to a UK bank account (Barclays fwiw)

Thanks for any feedback.
