Wow, totally don't declare that Bob. You don't have to pay tax on poker winnings in Australia if its not your listed profession (if it is, you get to claim tax on your losses as well). Sorta like how we don't pay tax here on any lotto winnings, but in the States they do.

Yes Jmack, we were told that we would be receiving Dream Team Merchandise. I don't think it was explicitly stated that we would be getting a hat, jumper, shirt etc (ie: detailed) but I think that was the gist of it. So I guess if you want to get technical the ring counts. But I seem to remember the allure of clothes (someone else wanna back me on this?).

Then there was the whole "sponsored into tournaments" thing.

If you're referring to the sponsored into tournaments idea, no, they never were.

i think what it was said:

888pl: "plus other exciting things"

Players: "oh we're getting sponsored into tournaments"

when you assume it makes an ass out of u and me.

[bennymacca]

maybe it should have been communicated EXACTLY what the DT involved

Hard when 888 is organising the prizes for the dream team.
