Mr Beast, xQc, Ludwig, Dwan, Hellmuth, Botez.. On Hustler Live Sunday 8PM PST - Page 40 - Poker News

This is a pretty Hilarious comment - I don't think any poker player will understand it actually.

EDIT: Ok to not be a douchebag acting all coy.

MrBeast's business model is literally to publicly throw away money for views sponsorships and well - more money. His mother is an accountant and they have a prestigious law and accounting firm on a retainer - as you can imagine the taxes are a nightmare in his business model, and are a very big deal for it. I can guarantee you that that stream was a business expense for tax purposes and their team could teach poker players on how to handle the tax side when all will be said and done.

MrBeast and Ludwig did a poker vid before - I wouldn't be surprised if the marketing expense nature of the game and tax implications were a big a reason why the other streamers joined too

Yeah I'm sure Alexandra Botez is an expert on taxes just as she is an expert at chess and poker. Your post is all fluff with no substance. That being said, I don't know why anyone would gives a rats ass about the taxes they pay on winnings. There's nothing worse than an accounting discussion.

I think a lot of the biggest Twitch streamers live in Texas and I hope Doug is trying to arrange a game for them at the lodge.

I know the following live in Texas:

Alexandra Botez
xQc
Mizkif

I thought the Botez sisters moved to Los Angeles in early 2022.

It's more about Ludwig and Beast organizing the game and helping the participants with that as an incentive to join but hey - if you think she is an expert in her own right who am I to disagree with you! Thank you for your willing contribution to this accounting discussion!

Botez LLC makes me think she knows a little something about taxes. She's also a Series A funder in a financial services company.

If only there were professionals to visit for people who don't understand taxes.

Botez went to Stanford and hangs out with the biggest streamers in the world. She probably has a *slight* clue tax wise.

I just love when posts derail into tax discussions (very common here).
It's like having fun in a party and then someone stops the music, switches on the lights and tells the whole audience that police will raid the place in 2min to search for any drug.

If you want me to start talking about how great Hellmuth played on this stream again, just say the word and I'll be on it.
