cwik 0 Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Anyone have a recommendation on how to find a good accountant? I normally do them myself with Turbo Tax. But with the business and everything along with a couple other things, mine are going to be pretty complicated this year and I don't want to miss anything. I'm looking for someone that I can do all the legwork for by taking all my paperwork and condense it down to the things he needs (actually have already done this as I started to prepare to do them myself). Basically I don't want to have to go meet with someone for hours and if it can be done by email, scanning, faxing that would be awesome. I had already bought the programs but I started realizing how complicated it was going to be as I start to put in some initial info.If you want I can put you in touch with the guy I am using this year. HoosierAlum referred me to him. He works with a lot of poker players and has wrote a bunch about gamboling tax laws. I am not sure about the business side. He is out of Irvine, CA, but we are basically doing everything over the phone/email. Link to post Share on other sites
The Lobster 0 Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Random post for all you video game geeks like me - I just bought LEGO Batman (awesome btw! ), and I got it via Amazon from a company called GoGamer.com.For the brand new game, it only cost $29.99 from them, whereas it was $49.99 from most other places. So you might want to check them out for your next purchase (although it seems like they offer better deals through Amazon - maybe it is overstocked games or something, idk).

If you are operating the biz as a corporation you definitely need an accountant to do your returns imo. The only help I can offer is to suggest asking anyone/everyone that you know that owns a biz if they would recommend their accountant, and when you find a good one, stick with them.A good accountant , like a good trusted mechanic, is worth every damn penny! Do not skimp, they can save you untold monies and headaches. My wife has a biz ('S' corp) and I am salaried and our taxes are very complicated to do without a pro.Talk to other successful biz owners, friends, get a recommendation and if they are good keep them forever.lol poker...TEACH MEEEeeee......errr.....oh.

bull62 0 Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Poker content - Bull, it's awesome seeing you do well @ 100nl. How've you turned your game around from the 40? BI's you dropped last year @50/25nl? - what's been the biggest change?Tyty. I guess the biggest tangible change has been cbetting. My cbet% used to be 80+. Now, it's about 60. I think I was spewing tons of money cbetting poorly. Also, better value betting and improved hand reading skills from more experience. Biggest difference is definitely the cbetting though. That, and I ran about 20 buyins below ev during that stretch. Link to post Share on other sites
Jordan 1 Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 talking about myself:i love losing 3 buy-ins to a total donk HU. srsly it's one of the most amazing/humbling/horrific poker experiences. this guy was totally god awful horrible and he wins 3 buy-ins off me. Had he played 'well' he easily woulda beaten me for at least 5 bi but thankfully I can still find a fold button.Anyways. I magically still profited on the session thanks to a big 3/6 deep pot. There was this donk on my direct right playing really really fishy. He kept beating people with the donkiest lines ever, it was really funny/annoying to watch. He'd basically limp/call any two and magically win just about every pot.so then this hand happens....immediately when he 3bet i was like, fk. he has Aces here just an absurd amount of the time. Yes, he was that bad. He never really three bet, and when he three bet to this amount I was just like lol. Oh yea, he also had the most amazing chat tells. It was like reading this thread and I'm just loling cause chat tricks rarely will work against someone who is a good player (especially when it's coming from a fish) which it was in this case.I almost wanted to fold pre but i thought i'd shoot myself if i did. I don't know what I would have done if the flop would of came T25 and he potted it. He was srsly so bad I think I could have folded but it would have been tough even so. Luckily for me I floop a set and obviously he flips the aces.http://www.holdemmanager.netNL Holdem $6(BB) Replayer Game#10157104920FavreNYJ4 ($346)StupidRick ($2,308)GIFT_4_YOU ($2,027)NxtWrldChamp ($1,590)nevermo ($1,200)pmilanov ($1,200)FavreNYJ4 posts (SB) $3StupidRick posts (BB) $6Dealt to GIFT_4_YOU Kh Kc GIFT_4_YOU raises to $18fold, fold, fold, FavreNYJ4 calls $15StupidRick raises to $294GIFT_4_YOU calls $276fold, FLOP ($606) 8h Td Ks StupidRick bets $606GIFT_4_YOU calls $606TURN ($1,818) 8h Td Ks Jd StupidRick bets $1,408GIFT_4_YOU calls $1,127RIVER ($4,072) 8h Td Ks Jd Th StupidRick shows Ah As (Flop 10.2%, Turn 13.6%)GIFT_4_YOU shows Kh Kc (Flop 89.8%, Turn 86.4%)GIFT_4_YOU wins $4,069anywho. still lost 3 bi to a total clown hu and that's always lol/lifetilt/humbling altogether.

Tenking literally shoves EVERY hand. So I mean, K high is generally going to be good there. Obv K4o isn't what I'm looking to get in vs him, but if I put money in the pot and he ships it, I'm snap calling for 20bbs.Mark Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah it's anti-everyting you are taught in a cash game, but against this opponent, if you know he'll keep shoving, just limp/fold until you have a hand with more equity than 52%.

pokerinc 0 Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Do any other HU people have a thought on that hand? If my thought process is wrong I'd like to know why.I think it depends on whether his strat changes radically if he doubles, or if he leaves if he doubles. If he doubles and stays when winning, and re loads and keeps shoving if losing I call. If he hit and runs often I fold. Link to post Share on other sites
cwik 0 Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Do any other HU people have a thought on that hand? If my thought process is wrong I'd like to know why.I actually agree with you. Marks line is def +EV, but not the best line imo. He is def. ahead of tenking's range, but tenking also has a habit of hit and running anytime he wins a pot. So waiting for a better spot, that is sure to come in a very short period, can probably yield a higher EV with lower variance.If tenking was sure to stick around after he double, I like marks play. But I relate this more to MTT where your 'tourney life' has value. Link to post Share on other sites
