Got my first ever "auto-hold" jackpot.

Congrats Azure.

If I had to play that game, I would activate 47 hands only. That way you dodge the taxi. And probably a wild royal pays the same as the straight flush.

Many years ago I was playing 50 line 5c JOB at Harrahs Laughlin, and the person beside me was doing exactly that - playing only 47 0f the 50 hands. He seemed to be quite pleasant, so, finally my curiosity got the better of me, and I asked him why he was doing that. His reasoning, of course, was just what is described above. When I indicated my belief that a winning, even if one just under $1200 needed to be reported to the IRS at tax time, he looked at me like I was kinda crazy.

Most people don’t know or do not want to know!

You were the kid in school who reminded the teacher when she forgot to assign homework.

In hindsight I probably should've done that, but I never thought I'd be dealt that hand after the 50 AWAKs.

No harm done. We all would have reported the $1175 anyway.

Does anyone know, where on the 1040 do I report the value of my free bungee cord?

It’s a line item on the schedule for Tag sale income and expenses. Schedule T-1 line 27! And don’t forget Sch Bar-1 for the retail value of the free drinks too. …….Congrats again Azure!! You must have brought me luck. After reading your post, I just got an Autohold Royal late Thursday Eve!
