Message: [QUOTE="Alizona, post: 6227257, member: 444115"] I call myself a "play chip professional". :D Yes, its partly because I'm trying to be funny... but there's also a serious side to my statement. America's government banned us from playing on Poker Stars real money games a decade ago, April 15, 2011... eventually, years later, we were allowed back onto the site, but ONLY to use the play chip side. So my statement is also a criticism of this ridiculous taking away of our rights and our freedoms... I probably WOULD be classified as a professional for tax purposes since I don't have another job and poker would be my sole source of income (which is how a "Professional Poker Player" qualifies as such under IRS tax code here in America - if you have a "real day job" you cannot claim the status of "professional" and it costs you quite a bit in taxes since amateur players don't get the good tax benefits that professionals do)... but since we're still banned, I poke fun at the absurdity of it all by using my funny phrase. I hope people laugh at my joke, but I also hope it makes the government realize what a ridiculous thing they have done (of course it won't, they are completely dense and deaf to the cries for relief from us poker players) and realize how much tax revenue they have cost themselves with their stupidity of banning us. I play the highest play chips stakes on Poker Stars, I have won over 100 BILLION chips on the play money side... (it would cost me approximately $15,000 if I had bought them instead of winning them) so my words are not just idle chatter. They've cost themselves (and me of course) a pretty penny over the past decade. [/QUOTE]
