I Brake For MILFs posted:Yea, the dealer should shut that poo poo down pretty quick. But, it's hard to explain to drunk people that folding out of turn actually matters, counting your chip stack while there is 4 people waiting to act matters. Live poker is wild sometimes. Its almost always a tell so I don't think it's worth it

Watching the episodes of HSP.. there's a hand Tom Dwan is in where Sean Perry and the guy next to him that's not JRB just yap the whole time in a "small" $100K pot. Also did it in a prior hand earlier in the episode. Honestly couldn't hear myself watching it. Way more distracting than in the Doug Polk/Hellmuth hand.

So, i guess if you go for 14 gram clay poker chips it'll be just fine. As far as cases go could just get a birdcage, it works for the casinos.

Am I crazy or has there been a lot of talk lately about sports betting becoming legal nationwide, and possibly online Poker coming back as well? Has anyone heard these rumblings?

Has anyone heard these rumblings? any state can legalize gambling now. that also includes poker. it all depends on your state. lots of states have had bills worming through their respective legislatures for a while now. the biggest downside is how greedy they want to tax winnings/profits. i remember some of the bills wanted upwards of 20%, which basically makes it unteneable for anybody to make a living off it.

Baddog posted:"we hate gambling" they love state lotteries and horse racing... so they gotta protect those assets from competition. also the casino's in the states also generally have to be negotiated with. FWIW in Las Vegas the tax is ~24% over $5000, and if a win is 300x your original bet they give you a W-2G and afterwards, you can deduct loses etc.. depending on what gambling game you're playing the casino either withholds the tax for you or pays you it outright. just nothing is standardized at all. also some of the online poker laws don't allow for community pooling around the states so even if your state passes legal online poker you may be stuck playing only against people from the state you live in.

The graduated tax ranges from 20% on revenues of up to $4 million to 28% on revenues over $12 million." regardless, if you're just playing poker that's also another matter. it's all very confusing regardless and you'll probably need a tax guy to figure it all out.

All the tax is on the operator in the UK, and none of it is on the punter. It's taxed at the point of business. No-one was talking about opposites, or saying the US doesn't tax the bookies, they were saying in the UK only the bookies get taxed, not the person having a few bets.

Basically what Baddog said. Although reading what I posted it might have sounded like I was snapping at mfcrocker. I was just merely pointing out that the US likes to make sure everyone pays instead of just the operators. I won my biggest cash in a tournament in Ireland but the sweetest part about it was not paying any taxes on it.

Oh yeah for sure, I don't think he cares about a single million dollars considering he probably has like 49 more where that came from. But just in general I think maybe he's playing too much golf and not enough Poker.

Local dude bought an office building and started running games out of it. It was extremely cramped on Friday so hopefully he knocks some walls down. Took home a nice 5x win though, it’s ridiculous how easy home games are even compared to a card room. Or maybe I’m finally good(ha ha)

The local card room downtown in my city is full of some of the most frustrating players, I stopped my membership there a long time ago. They play insanely tight, they complain about play every time they lose, they're super cliquey and talk mad poo poo about others during breaks. It's like a weird bratty high school club. Imagine playing with a room full of Hellmuth-lites. I really, really miss Asian casino poker rooms, if I had the capital and visa I would just try and go full time doing that.

And right on queue he just dropped this on his channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAlRCbsJDjw It looks like there was one hand where even Hellmuth got angry at Negreanu for not knocking him out then and there and DNegs is kicking himself in hindsight for not doing it edit: Also what the gently caress is up with all the Hellmuth simps showing up in the comments everywhere?

His simps are trying to make it like his cry baby act is some meta puppet master strategy where he mind-games people into playing poorly which is funny both because A: that's not going to work on someone like Negreanu and B: anyone who's been following poker for more than a few years knows it isn't some act- he's just a loving crybaby

Remember when we thought that all these name players were good, and it turned out that most of them were absolute terrible degens and just kept getting bought into tournaments from our bankrolls at FTP.

As with everything these days, the best players are just some random no-name no-face people online with usernames like "dfadfasdfasdfasda111111" who are somehow raking in multiple six figure tables every weekend.

This is what Negreanu was saying in one of his previous streams. Someone asked him who he thought the best player(s) was currently and he said something to the effect of, 'man I don't know. It certainly isn't Hellmuth and it's not me. It's these young guys grinding solvers and playing non-stop'

What do you guys who play online as a job do about tax stuff/legitimizing the money if you’re in a state where it’s illegal? Do you just not worry about it since they probably won’t come after you or what I guess you probably need to really be raking it in to pop up on any radars.

I'm reading this BBC article: https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20210517-how-a-10k-poker-win-changed-how-i-think In this chart  Why is something like 92s a percentage raise over J2s? Or the big swing between k4o and K3o? Are you blocking things or has your range opened up by having the big split between the cards? Where can I learn more about this table?

It looks like a solver output so it's trying to give you optimal plays with these hands in a specific spot. You're not seeing what's been plugged in like pre-flop action or what street we're on and the like so that chart by itself is pretty useless except as a way to illustrate what a solver output looks like.
