BRAG: I hit the BBJ at Resorts East Chicago
Playing 5/10 in Indiana..
I am UTG + 1 and raise UTG with KK. 6 to the flop.
Ac 2h 3s
I bet because I hate money, and get 5 callers.
Turn: Ah
I bet because I figure any ace will raise me and I can safely fold. 5 callers.
River: As
I check, expecting the ace to bet. Strangely, it checks through two other ppl and the button bets. I call.
I table my Kings, he tables TT.
Start the fireworks because that's a bad beat (Aces full of tens was the minimum). Neither of us had any idea that we had made the jackpot. The jackpot was 16K, TT gets 8K, I get 4K, table splits 4K 8 ways.
Beat: 30% withholding, 2700 in my pocket.
Beat: TT lands up having a self-imposed ban from the casino so the casino won't give him his 8 grand.
Beat: It takes them 3 hours to do the paperwork due to him being 'banned' and them having no idea they need to take the 30%.
Brag: I can't close my wallet because of all the hundreds in it
Brag: When they delivered the jackpot to the table, there was 16K of chips in play at a 5/10 table.
Beat: I tip the dealer $200 thinking it's 5% of my take home, but it lands up being 8.
Brag: I win $50 as the only white guy in the baccarat lounge as the dealer goes +9 against player.
Beat: I lost a $50 pot when I didn't protect my hand at showdown. Board was K97K2. I showed 97 and dealer awarded it to T7.
Beat: Dealer tried to get me a polo shirt for making the mistake but they were out
Beat: Dealer who delt the BBJ had to remain at the table the entire 3 hours. They stopped his rotation and he got no breaks.
Beat: I forget to take a picture of the cards at showdown.

I believe that I'll need to file a US tax return and claim enough losses to get the money back. Luckily that 2K I lost in Vegas at Blackjack is on the ol credit card :-)
Gambling winnings are fully taxable and must be reported on your tax return. You must file Form 1040 (PDF) and include all of your winnings. Gambling income includes, but is not limited to, winnings from lotteries, raffles, horse races, and casinos. It includes cash winnings and also the fair market value of prizes such as cars and trips. For additional information, refer to Publication 525, Taxable and Nontaxable Income.
A payer is required to issue you a Form W-2G (PDF) if you receive certain gambling winnings or if you have any gambling winnings subject to Federal income tax withholding. All gambling winnings must be reported irrespective as to whether any portion thereof is subject to withholding. in addition, you may be required to pay an estimated tax on your gambling winnings. For information on withholding on gambling winnings, refer to Publication 505, Tax Withholding and Estimated Tax.
You may deduct gambling losses only if you itemize deductions. Claim your gambling losses as a miscellaneous deduction on Form 1040, Schedule A (PDF). However, the amount of losses you deduct may not be more than the amount of gambling income you have reported on your return. It is important to keep an accurate diary or similar record of your gambling winnings and losses. To deduct your losses, you must be able to provide receipts, tickets, statements or other records that show the amount of both your winnings and losses. Refer to Publication 529, Miscellaneous Deductions, for more information.
