Taxes on online poker?

Ok well I play poker online for a few years. Only about 1-2 hours/week or so. I deposited $50 once and then slowly got to $2000. Now I am trying to withdraw it.

But before I do that can anyone tell me if I have to pay tax on this? I heard that if you aren't earning more than 100k per year, then its considered "recreational winnings" instead of "income".
