    To be honest, I have won a fair amount of money playing cards. I was playing the game "Texas Hold Em" with friends. We betted around $60 - 70, which was a little stupid. I won the bet, which was roughly $75.

    Thats how much I've probably ever won in a card game, despite the fact that it was probably sheer luck. But, gambling is pretty bad, you shouldn't do it.

    the first thing to do is deal with the fact that the IRS will take 50%. Don't try to flee the country, they'll catch you. then ask again about 500k.
