arerad 0 Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 i didn't see anything on this in the forum. thought it was interesting.World Series of Poker champion Joe Hachem's lucky streak still hasn't ended, as he pulled a miracle card out on the river against the Australian Taxation Office.He can take home all of his WSOP winnings tax free. Under Australian law, Hachem won't have to pay income tax on the $7.5 million he won because he was pursuing a hobby, not a career.The Melbourne father of four defeated over 5,600 poker players en route to the main event victory in July.Hachem's lawyers said the Australian Taxation Office had found their client was not in the business of playing poker at the time of his win. Hachem has since become a professional poker player."As a result of this finding, the poker winnings were classified as income derived from a hobby, and thus not subject to Australian tax," his lawyer, Peter Donovan, said in a statement."The distinction between the conduct of a business and the mere pursuit of a hobby is often a difficult distinction to draw."However, the fact that you excel at a particular hobby should not be fatal for tax purposes."

Suited_Up 2 Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 i didn't see anything on this in the forum. thought it was interesting.Did you look?How did you do last night?Crappy!!Played NL, because a seat on NL was available right away, and dropped 400 getting run down like crazy, never won a real pot, maybe 2 baby ones, and lost 4 big ones. Then played 3/6 since brigette was still playing, and made back like 110 of it. God forbid I just play that from the start, I'm pretty mad about it.Here's how it went....Open in 2nd or 3rd position with 88 to $20. Get 2 callers I think. Flop is J8x... I bet $25, guy behind me calls, and dumb lady goes all-in for $35, so I call 10 more as does the guy. Turn is a 4. I slow down and check, hoping for a bet, but he checks too. River is another Jack. I bet $50 with my boat... He folds. I turn up 888JJ... the lady all-in turns up J4. Fucking runner-runner boat! Not to mention she called my raise with that. Link to post Share on other sites
