I agree that the system is pretty screwed up and poker players get a really bum deal. But I think the more people avoid reporting their income, the more we will have to fight to have any poker at all. It's about the money. If people paid, the government wouldn't need to make it hard on us to continue playing.

I'm sure your sentiments are similar to most people's. However, you need to be careful. One disgruntled ex, employee, or whoever could report you and receive a reward from the IRS. I don't want to see that happen. Make sure no one knows your real name if you're going to publicly admit that you don't pay. The IRS loves to go after the ones that make the biggest stink about their taxes. They do it so send a message to everyone else.

Doesn't the Bodog thing make you nervous? It would me. Even if I didn't do business with Bodog. It could happen to other poker sites, too.

I used to work for the IRS and I've seen how small items of unreported income or faked deductions can have a snowball effect and leave you with a huge tax bill. Again, I don't want that to happen to any of us. So my advice, be careful, keep records, report what you're supposed to report, and stay out of trouble.
