Although I agree that you have to treat poker as a business if you are going pro, let's paint a more realistic picture of what expenses really look life for those that don't have their own personal chef.
Rent for a one bedroom in Las Vegas: $700
Utilities: elec, internet, etc. $300
Food: $400, less if you eat with your comps
Car + insurance + gas: $400
Total: $1800

Car + insurance + gas: $400

If you make $20 hr x 2080 hrs (full work year) you get $41,600
Taxes are not 30% in this bracket but for sake of argument we will use it. Gross after taxes: about $29,000
Monthly income: about $2,400.
Income - nut = $800 disposable income every month. Hotels niagara falls by seneca casino.

Among the other eight players, only seventh-place finisher Nick Marchington escapes having to pay tax on his $1.525 million prize since the United Kingdom does not tax gambling winnings. (This is one reason, Fox notes, why many German poker pros have taken up residence in the UK.). To clarify they don’t have to pay a 40% tax on say a 10 million dollar WSOP first place because they are already considered to be part of the top 1%. Also most of those insane poker players sell off shares of their buy in, this is the reason Daniel Negreanu is owed 10 million plus. How you fill out your taxes is also dependent on whether you use poker as your main income. It sounds like you do, so you will need to pay social security on your poker incomes as well if you are a US citizen. You are technically suppose to report all money won in each session of poker. Jul 20, 2012 Average Poker Players Yearly Income. The average poker player, depending on what limit can make as little as $10,000 a year up to $1,000,000 or more per year. We’ve found that a semi-top tier live poker professional in Florida playing $5/10 NL deepstacked can make $100,000-$250,000 a year. May 23, 2014 If you spent more than 25- 35 hours online each week playing poker you might find that your new profession is a gambler and your winnings are taxable. My question is where do you draw the line from a casual poker player or a professional poker player and how would Canada Revenue establish a professional to a casual player. How much do professional poker players make in these side ventures? Some make merely enough to supplement their playing income. Free casino fun slots/no downloads or registration. Others rely almost exclusively on this income to pay their day to day expenses. Some are able to enjoy the life of being a poker pro because they flush with cash from their side gigs.
Jul 19, 2019 A review of federally licensed tax professional Russ Fox's annual report on how much those making the WSOP Main Event final table will have to pay in taxes.
Anyone working their tail off now at a job they hate have an extra $800 at the end of every month? Me neither.
You place the chip on the line between the two numbers in order to make this wager.
It pays off at 35 to 1.Split bet – This is a bet on any two adjacent numbers. The house edge on the inside bets is the same as the house edge on the outside bets.The inside bets include:Straight-up – This is a bet on a single number. These bets win less often, but they pay out more when you do win.

Except floating flops - if you worked at a regular job that pays $20/hr - you get a paycheck every two weeks - the income tax is already taken out and your employer pays half of your social security. (6.65%) Plus you might even get two weeks paid vacation to go to the WSOP in Las Vegas.
Self-employed as a pro poker player, you aren't guaranteed any income and you owe 15.3% self-employment tax in lieu of social security.
You can't reduce a decision like this to accounting - you have to be comfortable making your living in a skill/talent based business that has nine folks at your place of business who believe they are as talented/skilled as you are - all wanting to take your money. It's the same world faced by writers, actors, musicians, comedians, artists, and professional golfers. The rewards at the top are extreme but there are no guarantees that more than 2% will ever reach those heights. Even established players are eager to take on sponsors - write books / do commercials/ sell teaching videos etc to make some income away from the felt.
