But, there are many ways around the problem you mention above; and none of the ones that come to mind have the sheer complexity of messing with the IRS.

Me too, but often I can tip like that in hour 1 and swing loss on day 2. I play a little fast... Also I started out after college as a dealer so I like to make a difference, especially when on cruises where they make $5 or less a day salary.
IRS is messy and convoluted and I hope they clean their act up.
But on a brighter note I got my Fiore Suite sorted for next month, plus they doubled my comps to $200 match plays and $50 free comp dollars, and it's restaurant week! Knife & Fork here I come!
