When you play online poker, do some certain seats let you win? +++?

Saturday, December 27th, 2008

I was playing earlier on Pokerstars, and played a .50/1.00 real money limit cash game. I won a lot of the hands because I picked up certain hands. And when I left and came back to the same seat, I continued to win. I left my seat and came back exactly three times and all those times, I left with some cash; made approximately $14 in about 1 hrs time. Then when I left the table because I was satisfied with my winnings, I watched as someone else took my seat and to my amazement, this person won with this seat too; about $5-$6 in about less then 10 hands… Is there sucha thing as a lucky seat when playing online poker? P.S., as I just finished writing this, the person won another pot worth over $4.00

ok lets just say i won 100,000$ on a bad beat jack pot on an online poker site do i have to pay taxes on it i mean what if i just cash out a few 1000 at a time into my bank will they ever find out cause i dont see the need to pay taxes when our government banded it cause they couldnt make money off of it and thats why they made it illegal but yeah any advice would be nice and i know your supposed to claim all winnings im just asking not ethicaly why i should have too cause i dont feel its right cause ive played for years on here lost a few grand and spent ton of house building up my bank roll it should be none of there bizz
