  1. ok first off I am CarolinaO (grrr) on the new siteI'll start. things that suck about the new site.1. the forum is now slow as hell2. the O on the end of the names thing. should have been warned and been given option to pick another. that sucks *surprise*3. no chartermember designation, or way to tell if you are one.4. just a skin, (was never fan of pokerroom) but figured daniel would be unique and "fix" what is wrong with all the other sites and actually have the ability to improve his.next!

  2. In the spirit of DN.I can't officially confirm or deny anything, but...a *hypothetically* certain pro may be doing a promotional lecture and tournament hosting for our company.oh yeah, and I'm going to go heads up for a BIG chunk.More details to follow.hint: glasses

  3. I've heard it 3 ways.a person who is a "cooler" has bad luck that causes others to run bad when they are around.a hand that is a "cooler" is the ONLY hand that can beat you, or nuts when you hold 2nd.a "cooler" card is one that freezes the action. ie. you have nut straight and a 3 heart hits or the board pairs.

  4. As I posted a couple of weeks ago, I landed great job as a Regional Director for WorldPokerTavern.com.Now, I've gotten the go ahead to share the wealth with you degenerates (love ya, mean it)As loyal posters of FCP I'm extending a $50 referral fee to you guys (and gals) for EACH tavern to sign up with us. So wherever you hang out and know the staff, pass the word.refer them to the site and me directly brent@worldtavernpoker.comif they say.. "blah" from FCP referred me I'll transfer $50 to the site of your choice.I can email you promo materials to print for them if you wish. Just message me.Quick way to make some $ AND have a local joint to play live in...

  5. trying to F the govt out of their cut is like stiffing the mob. Not a great idea.Bring back your old avatar, I miss it. That was a hot photo. How's the swinger scene when you were in Vegas? You and that tasty European pastry of a wife pick up any lezzies yet?I remember everything.
    I feel you. maybe i should just suck it up, pay the 9G's and start reporting my winning this year (was planning on starting jan 1 anyway)As for the pic, I'd have to reshrink it to fit under the 7mb limit again. Its a pain. As for my woman, shes overseas (her parents) for a month right now. it sucks.
  6. Could you elaborate on this portion more please? "personal expenditures" part.....Did they audit your checking account or something? At what point did in the tax portion did they have to match up your personal accounting stuff vs business?
    about 6 mos ago I got a letter. as the principle of the company they sent me something trying to tax the company on our "assets" in 2004 (this is considered $20K by default) I replied that the comany had cease operation in 2003 and had no revenue or assets.now six months later they cross referenced me individually, where I have made $30K in mortgage payments, bought new vehicles for my wife and myself and payed down my student loans.so I get a new letter (not thinking about the last one from 6 mos ago) that says we noticed you've been paying bills, where'd you get the cash? I replied that I was an employee of my company and was paid "consulting fees" (no salary for w2) they say "really. it says here that company no longer operates." doh!I just talked to my attny however, and we're going to claim that the bills were paid out of leftover cash from the company disolvement. plus now that I have a job to "merge" my other income with I might be okay.
  7. IRS should be removed, as with most of the government
    Uh huh. And let who run the joint, Pat Robertson? Who would you choose to be his running mate? Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson?Instead of whining about what should or shouldn't happen, you should first provide alternatives. Be a part of the solution and not the problem. Why should the IRS be removed? Do you not want any benefits from Social Security when you retire? Or will your God take care of things?
    let me guess where you work....
  8. oh well, it was fun while it lasted.backgroundquit work 1yr 7 mos ago, poker full time.had a S corp I had started back in 99.claimed I was working for that "company"currentI had just done a bunch of research on gambling taxation and was planning on reporting starting jan 1 2006. I also just started a job which will report as well (see thread, "the perfect poker related job")However, reported corperate assets/revenue for the shell company and personal expenditures didn't match up and the IRS got a flag. :oops: I just got hit with a $9K back tax bill based on expenditures for 04, and expected 05. resultbankroll takes 20% hit in one session. the gov't always holds the nuts.

  9. true story.while down at the WSOP event in New Orleans, I was in the poker room playing Omaha. The table next to us was NL hold 'em A guy called all in with AQoff. Bettor had pocket Jacks. BIG pot (a few grand). 10 J x hit on the flop and the Jacks start making fun of the AQ calling him a donk for calling with AQoff. This is when they got loud and we stood up to see what the fuss was about.AQ says something like "just for running your mouth I'm gonna draw out." sure enough, K hits on the river to give the guy a straight.The set of jacks goes ballistic.AQ says "now who's the donk?"Set of Jacks Hits AQ over the head with a bottle and says "you..."enter security.

  10. I thought you already moved to Vegas??what the hell is going on here.
    Nope. My wife is overseas (at her parents) and shes not back until Dec. 14th. We aren't moving until the first of the year. She doesn't start her PhD program until next fall. The move won't matter as my position is not a typical "Office job. " Besides, my region is the west half of the US.
