That might be a good estimate. 2-3 hours once every other week. I'd probably say 30. 3212/30= $107 an hour to play cards.

I understand what nic is saying, but I feel like if you are looking at gambling in terms of your hourly rate of return, that is definitely gambling problem territory.

That's a sicko run either way. 10bb per hour ($30 per hour in 1/3 nl which I'm guessing you're playing) is considered superb long-term in low stakes live no limit.

Ms. wacky is concerned about the taxes part of it. She thinks I need to claim it or they'll track me down.

It's not. If you're good, poker can be a money making side hobby just like anything else you might spend your time on. That isn't the case for most forms of gambling though. Poker is the only gambling/game anyone can expect to be a long-term winner at.

I'd warn Wacky that 30 hours is basically meaningless in terms of sample size though. He's definitely on the right side of variance. That doesn't mean he isn't or couldn't be a significant winner.

Just keep track of your records. I wouldn't worry about a few thousand though, especially if your aren't putting it in the bank.

Her dad got taxed one time for having like a $1000 winning scratcher. She was in college and he gave it to her. They recently came back around and asked for the taxes on it like many years later. Very bizarre. That's why she's paranoid about it.

this has nothing to do with taxes or gambling addiction.  women don't want their fiances/husbands hanging out in poker rooms, not rocket science guys.

I've never played any game in a casino aside from craps and blackjack (and the sportsbook).  A hot craps table with a bunch of bros is tough to beat.

I'm gonna try and get out to for a weekend this fall, try my hand at some CFB sportsbook stuff.

Meh, I just don't really like playing poker -- too much thinking/calculation involved.  I don't go to the casino to make money, I go there to get loaded and have fun with $200.

I don't THINK I have anything going on, so let's give that a bigtime tentative yes.  If not then, then soon.

My friend is a degenerate gambler and has a million free nights at harrahs or something. He always wants to go up to Chicago to use them but the casino is like in Indiana and I'm just like bro if we are going to Chicago I'd rather not stay an hour from downtown
