oednj 0 Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 so I but in short at a $100 no limit bad beat jackpot table. I know its bad odds but the jackpot just broke $500k so I figured, sit back, play tight and see what happens.There's a couple of aggressive folks at the table, so I don't get much play. I pick up a few dollars with pockets Q's but lose that to blinds and poke and hope hands.Finally I get the bb and figure I'll at least see a flop. Button pops it to $2, sb calls and my 59os hits the muck. Flop comes AhJhAc. Check, CheckTurn is 10h. Button raises, sb reraises, Button goes all, sb calls.Button shows AsKs. Sb shows KhQhBefore we can even figure out what happened River is dealt,Ad hits the board and evertyhing stops...After the worlds longest wait, the table explodes!! Fireworks all over the place, chips cover the whole table. A popup windows comes on my computer to tell me that the Bad Beat Jackpot was hit.Final figures.Button gets 166kSb gets 84kand the rest of us (including me!!) get 16k each.So the obvious question comes - how do I get a a hold of it?With a check withdrawl won't there be paperwork to get something like that and how much of a nut does the government take on something like that?PS AP got 51k for Admin Fees!

hblask 1 Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 Wheeeeeee..... nice score.To get your money, just contact customer service, and see if they can do a direct transfer to your account. Sometimes they allow things like this for large transfers.And no, there shouldn't be any paperwork if you get a paper check, but it's too big of an amount to ignore on your taxes, so you probably should file estimated taxes on it.

oednj 0 Posted October 13, 2007 Author Share Posted October 13, 2007 So if I took out the 16k, how much should one set aside for taxes? The normal 25% or a higher amount like 38%? Anyone have an idea or can point me to a site. Thinking about get taxes done professionally this year to see if that might have some impact. Link to post Share on other sites
