Answer
Friend cheated at poker?
Repost but more opinions are appreciated:
Anybody with poker knowledge, please help. The other night, some friends and I were having a small poker game. We all bought in for $20 each with $100 going to 1st place. My friend and his wife are among the players.After a while, it comes down to my friend's wife and me. We're heads up and I have a weak hand (5,9 off suit). She's dealing as well. Flop comes out 2,10, and J. She clearly checks first and I check after her. She then bets a stack of chips BEFORE laying down the turn card. I argue that she can't do that. She says why not? I argue that you can't check and then change your action once I've acted. She had to deal the turn before she could bet. She keeps saying that she never checked first which was obviously a lie. This starts turning into a legit argument.Finally my friend pulls me aside and says "let it go man, she's drunk." I give in and let her play the way she wants. I end up folding that hand and losing a few turns later after going all in after the flop and getting beaten. (I had ace, 10 suited and she had a 2,7 and got 2,2,K,9, J on the board. Was trying to bluff).It killed the whole mood that evening and I'm sorta heated over it. Not so much about the $100 but how my friends wife thinks she can behave like that and think being drunk is an excuse to cheat. Poker players, did anything I do was wrong? How should I tell them that what happened wasn't cool?

3 Answers2 weeks agoHow do I claim my Bovada winnings on my taxes if I'm in an illegal state?
How do I claim my Bovada winnings on my taxes if I live in Wisconsin where sports betting is illegal? Bovada is an off shore sight so it's legal to bet but not legal to transfer money to your bank account. If I do it in small increments will I get caught? If I claim it on my taxes, will I get audited or arrested anyway? I haven't made over $600 anyway, but I'm just wondering in case I do next year. How are so many other people able to bet on Bovada in the state of Wisconsin if they don't claim it on their taxes?

If I bought power ball or mega millions only 700 tickets. Rather buy state tickets which would be 1400 tickets. Sure the money is less but I am also competing only to the people in the state.
