16K and 1/4 kilo of great Canadian pot. Don't ask. <g >
All in back room games at a local clubhouse. I've never played online or in a
Casino.
But I lost about 6 grand last year, and about the same the year before. :)

A very depressing topic for me, (having lost the greater part of $95
to the rigged games at Pokerstars this year), so I hereby hijack this
thread to provide some small amusement.
Christopher Hitchens, as some may know, is the VRWC's favorite
Leftist.
The man has a way with the words, matched only by VRWC authors such as
Mark Steyn and James lileks.
http://www.vanityfair.com/culture/features/2007/01/hitchens200701?printable=true¤tPage=all
Why Women Aren't Funny
What makes the female so much deadlier than the male? With assists
from Fran Lebowitz, Nora Ephron, and a recent Stanford-medical-school
study, the author investigates the reasons for the humor gap.
by Christopher Hitchens January 2007 From the John Springer
Collection/Corbis.
Be your gender what it may, you will certainly have heard the
following from a female friend who is enumerating the charms of a new
(male) squeeze: "He's really quite cute, and he's kind to my friends,
and he knows all kinds of stuff, and he's so funny … " (If you
yourself are a guy, and you know the man in question, you will often
have said to yourself, "Funny? He wouldn't know a joke if it came
served on a bed of lettuce with sauce béarnaise.")
However, there is something that you absolutely never hear from a male
friend who is hymning his latest (female) love interest: "She's a real
honey, has a life of her own … [interlude for attributes that are none
of your business] … and, man, does she ever make 'em laugh."
Now, why is this? Why is it the case?, I mean. Why are women, who have
the whole male world at their mercy, not funny?
Please do not pretend not to know what I am talking about.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
All right—try it the other way (as the bishop said to the barmaid).
Why are men, taken on average and as a whole, funnier than women?
Well, for one thing, they had damn well better be. The chief task in
life that a man has to perform is that of impressing the opposite sex,
and Mother Nature (as we laughingly call her) is not so kind to men.
In fact, she equips many fellows with very little armament for the
struggle.
An average man has just one, outside chance: he had better be able to
make the lady laugh. Making them laugh has been one of the crucial
preoccupations of my life.
If you can stimulate her to laughter—I am talking about that real,
out-loud,
head-back,mouth-open-to-expose-the-full-horseshoe-of-lovely-teeth,
involuntary, full, and deep-throated mirth; the kind that is
accompanied by a shocked surprise and a slight (no, make that a loud)
peal of delight—well, then, you have at least caused her to loosen up
and to change her expression. I shall not elaborate further.
Women have no corresponding need to appeal to men in this way. They
already appeal to men, if you catch my drift. Indeed, we now have all
the joy of a scientific study, which illuminates the difference. At
the Stanford University School of Medicine (a place, as it happens,
where I once underwent an absolutely hilarious procedure with a
sigmoidoscope), the grim-faced researchers showed 10 men and 10 women
a sample of 70 black-and-white cartoons and got them to rate the gags
on a "funniness scale." To annex for a moment the fall-about language
of the report as it was summarized in Biotech Week:
The researchers found that men and women share much of the same
humor-response system; both use to a similar degree the part of the
brain responsible for semantic knowledge and juxtaposition and the
part involved in language processing. But they also found that some
brain regions were activated more in women. These included the left
prefrontal cortex, suggesting a greater emphasis on language and
executive processing in women, and the nucleus accumbens … which is
part of the mesolimbic reward center.
This has all the charm and address of the learned Professor Scully's
attempt to define a smile, as cited by Richard Usborne in his treatise
on P. G. Wodehouse: "the drawing back and slight lifting of the
corners of the mouth, which partially uncover the teeth; the curving
of the naso-labial furrows … " But have no fear—it gets worse:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------
Mr. Hitchen concludes.
-------------------------------------------------
For men, it is a tragedy that the two things they prize the most—women
and humor—should be so antithetical. But without tragedy there could
be no comedy. My beloved said to me, when I told her I was going to
have to address this melancholy topic, that I should cheer up because
"women get funnier as they get older."
Observation suggests to me that this might indeed be true, but, excuse
me, isn't that rather a long time to have to wait?
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Personally, I conclude that the mystery is best stated this way.
Men think the Three Stooges are funny.
Women do not.

Oh sure.
Now you tell me.
Unfortunately (or unfortunately), I have reached the age where I don't
really care about attracting women.
My wife isn't even jealous any more when I leer at some other woman.
Actually, she thinks it's funny when I do.
I don't think it's funny.

Unless you file as a professional gambler, you can't deduct any losses
above the amount of your winnings, nor any related expenses. Don't end

"Don't end up like Wesley Snipes."
Or the gay guy from the original "Survivor" show. He's now serving five
years for failing to pay taxes on the $1,000,000.00 he won on prime time
television.

Actually, the Feds offered him a pretty good deal that would have
drastically reduced the jail time. He's doing five years because he was
too stupid to take the deal.

My winning sessions add up to about $2,400 and my losing sessions add up
to about $500 for a net gain of about $1,900 before taxes.
Unfortunately I do not itemize deductions so I will be paying taxes on
the full $2,400. Argh.
Now, after considering taxes, the expense of the laptop, and poker
books, I think I probably broke about even. Argh.
Why do you ask questions like this?
