Hey I’m 17 and am looking for a cheap holiday present for my bro who is in college right now. I know he loves poker, and he has a great set of chips, but his cards always get bent and frayed. I know this bothers him, so he would appreciate a good pack of cards. I’ve heard that really good cards are like plastic coated or something and are highly resistant to damage and bending and stuff. Anyone have any suggestions of where I could find such an item? Thanks!

I am highly interested in playing poker and I want to go to the Turning Stone in Upstate NY. If somebody went there, can you please tell me the format of the poker that is played there? Is there a tournament, and what is the buy-in. Or is it just tables?
Thank you so much!

mazarate21 asked:


I’ve made quite a bit of money last year playing cash game poker on the side and I’m thinking of quitting my day job and going full time. How does a professional poker player file taxes and their annual salary? How does the IRS verify the income reported is true? Must you report every cent of your winnings minus the losses?

When you mention poker, people usually associate this with the cowboys of the West. We imagine a set of grizzly and rugged cowboys inside a Wild West bar or saloon. One of the cowboys could be fiddling with his gun preparing to draw it up anytime until before the other had a chance to collect his winnings.

Paris P asked:


Me and my buddy are pretty solid poker players (amateur, but better than the tourists who only watch on TV), and we are going to visit Atlantic City on either Friday afternoon or Saturday during the day (maybe both). I was just wondering if anyone has any opinions for the best casino?

Which casino has the best limit games, any tournaments on Friday night or Saturday morning, and finally, the best buffet (since we’ll be getting lunch or dinner in AC at some point). Thanks!
