Bankroll vs US Taxes owed
Hi all,
Just a question / point I want to make in regard to bankroll management.
Assuming most US players will pay taxes on poker / casino winnings + bonuses + rakeback etc received this year... do we need to factor these taxes owed into our bankroll? It seems so...
Lets say you have just started playing this year - and have a roll of 10k. Come January / April whatever - at worst - you may owe 4k to the taxman. Should as far as buy-in rules etc go - you should think of your 10k roll as only 6k. So now instead of being rolled 400NL - you are actually only rolled for 200NL.
So given everyones different marginal tax rates - I think US players should consider their bankroll to be what it was a start of the year - less x% (say 30%) of winnings to that point in the year...
You get the idea... open to discussion...
Cheers, Wrighty
