A bill proposed by Texas State Member Jose Menendez (D-San Antonio) designed to grow poker's availability in Texas was passed by a House committee on Thursday. The bill, that was entitled the "Poker Gaming Act of 2009" (H.B. 222), was passed by the House's Licensing and Administrative Procedures Committee by a vote of 6-3.

how painful the process is eventually the legislators will see that poker is a great way to make more taxes, and it not all about gambling, it has a lot of strategy in it and not only dubious people play- many decent do!

It's such a shame that poker winnings get taxed in the US. Makes living off poker a real struggle. Another reason why moving to Europe to play poker isn't such a bad idea if you wanted to play pro.Originally Posted by NewLoose

In the US, poker winnings (at least live) are already taxed, as they are in most of Europe except the UK. Peter Eastgate had to pay about 70% of his main event win directly to the Danish government, ending up with a little under $3m! That's part of the reason why as soon as he won, he started looking for a house in London to avoid the tax!

Who'd of thought it? The UK being the best place to live for a decent reason.
