I meant you have been removed as a moderator and have since then been bitching whenever you could get a chance about the circumstances involved in that situation. It's a shame.

On your attitude: "realistic as I see it" is a subjective statement just like my use of the word "horrendous." Both are relative. I think you have been a piss ant around here on several subject hence our debates. Notably the one where you blabber about being so rich in korea and how girls are so easy to come by etc.. I am paraphrasing but that argument was on a subject I felt portrayed your poor attitude.

Fair enough. I haven't posted much superficial garbage for a long time, I do admit I used to do it a lot. And as far as my bitching is concerned about being removed from Mod while it is indeed childish and useless I am just expressing myself on the internet in a fashion that entertains myself (by creating e-drama) and I did indeed feel a bit betrayed and flabbergasted by their decision. W/e though I don't really mind now.

I miss the "cooky I dont give a fuck" Rek.

it sucks you didnt invest or started a business or something with the money that you won in the heads up tournament. But You have the talent, if you put your mind to it I think you can get back in your feet no time and demolish the high stakes again. Good luck to you

How exactly do you file taxes as a poker player?

For Online Poker, There is not a "exactly" way to do it. Some accountants say it doesnt need to be tax because is gambling, and some say you can keep record of all your losing, winning days etc and file as a self employed or something. I talked to 2 different h&r block people and they say 2 totally different things. Also keep in mind that you only tax what you cash out and not what you have in your poker account.

If I remember correctly one dude at LP filed that he won 65k in one year and had to pay 15k for taxes somewhere around that Im not exactly sure.



Rek, out of the money you won in the headsup thing, how much went to taxes?

Motivation and the ability to attract talent is what builds great sites, not money. But good luck, I'd love to see something big happen, even though there's enough happening at this very moment.

Otherwise, I dunno. I read through your post like three times and I find myself puzzled by the fact I can't feel any emotion about it. So, what bourbon do you enjoy the most?

i think this is false, youre supposed to report ALL of your earnings but no one but a few % actually report everything, i personally only report what goes to my bank account.

but anyway this is off topic let's not bring stupid fucking taxes into this thread

Motivation is great and all but don't dismiss the importance of money.
Money has that uncanny ability to attract talent as the TSL has shown.

Always wanted a community site to hold a semi-regular major tournament which draws many big names and make a big event out of the whole thing, i.e. TSL.
With SC2 coming out "soonish", this is one way that I can see a new site establish itself.

Anyway, gl on your site.

Sounds like you've done a lot of growing in Vegas Dan. You're a world class poker player and you know there are many great world class poker players who go through these rough spells. I have confidence that you'll get out of this one as well. Look forward to seeing you at this year's WSOP and good luck.

shit happens CapO many people go through that same shit. Just got to keep your head up and stick to your game. That is why you should always play ring games where you have a bankroll 100x the BB. Poker 101 >.<

Meh, that's fun and all but i think it's cool to hear about future plans such as the new SC site (which i'm looking forward to) and not just the original post followed by "LOL $ICK LIFE" & "BALLERRRR" from people who wish they were Rek.

Even so, i doubt he just suddenly lost the "i don't give a fuck"-attitude anyway.

Good luck with your plans, Rek.

Form W-2G for Gambling Winnings

Most people just put that they spent as much as they "earned" from gambling, but if the amount is rather ridiculous, the IRS will investigate.

lol such a different Rekrul we are seeing in this thread. I love both though.

so are you like planning to stop living this sick life anytime soon? is it even possible for you to do so? I feel like your life is driven by the people around you, as if you were very little in control sometimes.

And one thing.



Money isn't superficial.


It's what you do with it that determines what kind of value it truly holds.


Don't take this post as bashing your lifestyle because I could care less and I'm not one to judge.


Just telling you that there are other ways to think about money than just the superficial side of it. It can be used and leveraged to create / change many things in life....
