do I have to pay taxes on poker winnings? if not do I declare my winnings or just not do anything

I opened a new bank account at TD last week and I am planning to deposit 70k tomorrow 60k check/10k cash I'm aware this would look pretty suspicious as I do not have a job and my parents have no money but do I really have anything to worry about? I'm 18 and currently goto highschool

I had a cibc account where I've probably deposited 50k into the past year while I was underage also but that was in smaller increments 1k-15k

w/e advice you guys have would be appreciated

Goals for September: - Only play longer sessions of poker when I can absolutely afford the spare time. Hurrah for school. - Play 25 days out of 30 for the Take Two FTP promotion - Watch one poker video a week - Stay at NL50.

check check check check. BAM.

Unfortunately midterms and school are upon me, so unless another promo shows up, I'm not playing until about mid-December. Good luck to everyone in school and poker!

Goals:
- Do my homework ahead of time
- Study more
- Stay motivated
- Begin to ask profs about grad studies
- Get good sleep
- Gain a mastery of my course subjects, and ace my tests
- Do my best

My friend is staking me AGAIN (cuz hes rich and stupid after me reasuring him its -EV) for the sunday $750k gtd on FTP. Im mainly a cashgame player and my roi for tourneys is pretty bad imo. I would say my early/midgame is really really bad but lategame when it gets to FT i feel really confident and people just in general play horrendous at FT i feel. However, most of the time i dont make it to FT obv... but a lot of times i feel clueless how to play early/midgame. Sometimes i play too tight sometimes too agressive etc. and make bad bluffs.


Any positive insight is greatly appreciated, sorry if my question is too general

Welp, i was lazy as shit this month, only logged like 31k hands @ nl100, and 10k hands 2 nl200 =/

nl100 graph

http://www.liquidpoker.net/user_pictures/6a28a.sept rofl.jpg

nl200 graph: down 7 BI

but its fine, im totally learning who to avoid and who not to avoid. There are some key diffs at 1/2 that i def need to change up the way i play against, and i probably sat at pretty bad tables. (tables with xBerlinsXbestx and some winning 2/4 regs on my direct left 6/8 tables prolly wasnt the most +ev move), but i wanted to improve as fast as possible. Right now i feel like i'd be a very marginal 1/2 winner, but i'm proving pretty fast and shouldnt be doing alright next month.

Live poker im down about 199

sooo total for this month..

nl100: +2300
nl200: -1400
live: -100
rb: +500
coaching nl50: +200

month: +1500 or so =. Would have made alot more if i wasnt so lazy, but whatever, i learned alot and i'll be doing alright soon i think. Midterms in a week so hopefully i ship that. i just need to focus

Yeehaw!

That rescued the month. Got kicked out when my KK didnt hold up vs 87 on 8xx flop but cant complain!! Really wanted 1st place though, then it would have been my biggest cash ever in a tourney .
But so happy atm, finally won a tourney again!

Guess my sept results post last week was a little premature. Ended up having some spare time on the weekend and this week to get in some more hands.

Includes everything but a + $300 session while I was in out of town this weekend. Anyways, good luck on the tables everyone!

Going to write this real quick, dont have much time,

I'm up 7.1k this month. Best month I've ever had. Played about 50-60 hours total.. so im really happy with my results.

I hate university atm and cant wait to get the fuck out of it. It's so tiring and boring at this point(im in my final semester in a 4 year program) and i despise it more than anything. Kind of sick of how little time i have to play poker now, especially considering my results have improved tremendously and that i have the potential to go much further. Lot's of shit to decide once university is finally over for good this december -> break from studies/work/poker/vacation etc etc.
Honestly can NOT wait for december though.

Lastly for reference to any future blog posts - I'm currently a 400NL heads up player. Hope that moves up in the coming months if i have the time to play.

/out

Last month of summer break.
Tomorrow I go to my studies, shit :/

It's been shitty month really.
Down swing killed me, but hopefully new month will replenish this curse and I can play with profit.
For whole summer break (mid-June to end of September) I think I'm break even or slightly down, but not too much /using pt2 so no human looking graph/ probably like -10$.
So not that horrible.

Goals for October are:
[] +50k hands
[] +$100 profit
[] more faith in my game

Oh, and new idea- I will keep track here on my br to some day look and say "haha long ago I had 1/10 of my big blind" or so.
Ok, It's 1am here and I have classes at 8:30am...

Stay tuned.

P.S. House is fckn awesome and latest season of Heroes might not be bad...

Addentum:
Forgot to write: current br = $127

/september ----> end of month overview. after i guess improving my HU 100nl cashgame alot or running very good. i was ready to move up to 200nl again. 200nl HU was a real bitch to me and i lost quite a lot there, taking shots at different times in the month. i dabbled a little bit in 200nl 6max because you don't get deepstacked as fast as in a HU game and i thought it would be more comfortable moving up. And i had been teaching a friend to move up from 25nl--50nl 6max and it looked fun again.

i hadn't played 6max seriously in a long time and usually don't 4 table it, and it proved to be a very nice experience. maybe i'm just running really good but i decided to play it again the next day, and the next day, and the next day and in the end played almost 30k hands of it.
i love HU and will return to it and will make up my losses at HU 200nl to attain my goal to reach 10bb/100 there but for now padding my BR on 6max is quite nice and i'm enjoying it for the time being (god wish i didnt switch pokergames like very %)*@)*month, but i just love all the different games ( )

as you can see the total for the month and the gains in 6max 200nl are almost equal and that's because even though i crushed 100nl HU on a larger sample. 200nl HU crushed my winning in a small sample
what also took a significant bite out of my winning is my shot at 600nl 6max, but the game was just very good and i got my money in good but it wasnt meant to be and i refrained from risking too much on that shot.
i will continue to look for really good 400nl and 600nl games now and then but don't expect 10k hand there for next month

not reflected in the graph is that i have been "spewing" some in donkaments(WCOOP and other fruitless endeavors) even counting my small $800 4th place in the 50$ 6max i'm considerable amount down on them. if i count my fluke ship of a step5 i'm probably in the + but so far this hasn't been materialized in any real cash.

If August was my best month so far, September has been my worst. Nothing has worked. It started of really good the first days. But then I started playing pretty bad, lost my confidence and played even worse. I also started to play at Noble Poker but I didnt find any flow at all, just hating the software.

Because of this I havnt had any motivation to play at all. I know I shouldnt react like this but I have. So the volume is my lowest in a very long time.

My trip to Prague wasnt a success pokerwise either even if it otherwise was a blast! Its such a nice city and really beautiful!


Graphs for the month:
FTP:

iPoker:

Including livelosses of maybe 3k I am down about 7k.


Tomorrow I will start my recovery. I know I have the game to do it but I also need the mental strength to deal with downswings etc. So, now its time to prove that!

GL everyone in October!

Hello hello,

Like I said before I'm taking the rest of the month off. A lot of stress running at home with this women staying with us from Japan and its stressing my mother out which stresses me out. Also, been having some lady problems that I'm not going to get into detail with because well they read this blog so yeah.

Other then that life is pretty good. I don't think I've lost any fat or barely any fat since doing the p90x and I've been doing it for 3 weeks now. Though I haven't been doing it consistent everyday, and camping did interrupt it so that doesn't help.

I've decided to switch from the Classic P90x to the Lean edition which I should of done since the beginning because it focuses more on loading body fat. Wish me luck!

I came across this interview today, where pokertube.com was talking to Daniel Negreanu. Here it is if you haven't seen it.

http://pokertube.com/Movies.aspx?movie=11721

I do agree on a lot of things Daniel says about religion, he almost has my exact same views, and it was interesting him speak about the WSOPE and Canadians me being a Canadian I can relate.

I know some people hate Daniel Negreanu, but I've never had anything against him. He seems like a genuine good guy.

So, for the first time ever I dont have any school or job so I got alot of free time and im gonna use most of that time to grind. I'm not sure if 100k hands this month is possible for me but thats my goal anyway, my previous most hand month is aprox 50k hands.

As for september, it wasn't that good, wcoop was horrible lost like 10k+ there and 1.5k from staking, cashgames was going pretty good until yesterday when I lost 8k.

But overall I think I made a small profit, hard to keep track when playing on several sites and cashouts and transfers between sites etc.

Oh well, hope october will be better.

I am pretty happy with my poker results this month. Of course I want a bigger month in October for sure (hand & profit-wise), but I feel like I got myself back on track and I reformed my online 6max game into a winning style (which ofc needs constant improvement ). I'd really like to be at nl200 full time next month but it depends a lot on how I run/play at nl200 for a while.. If I find myself not feeling good at nl200 I will play some nl100 instead!

Looking at my nonshowdown is kind of meh, so I need to make sure I'm not blowing a lot of money there. From experience I've kind of settled on a goal of a maximum loss of .5bi every 1k hands in non-showdown, experience tells me that is around the max loss-rate you can have while having a good overall winrate. Other than that I am just trying to play as well as I can 'n keep evolving..

all my poker this month (nl100 'n nl200)

Tomorrow or so I am driving back to Orlandoooooo. Which is going to be a bit of a pain in the ass. I have really mixed feelings on going back home, but I think its the most +EV decision for now. It'll be nice to have no financial stress again and I'll be going to the gym again (or finding some sort of physical activity), both of which will help me play poker better. Not looking forward to the drive though!
