My first poker win was at a friend's house game, there were only four of us there that night so it wasn't big money, but I spent it on my own set of chips so that I could host my own house games! On a semi-related note, I do MUCH better at my friends' house games than I do when I'm hosting poker night at my house, does anyone else experience similar? Actually don't answer that here, I'll start a new thread! :)

27/5000 1st time I drew in poker.

I took the money and spent it, I was in 6th place on a $ 3.30 Mtt K. It was the first time I played an Mtt over $ 1, only good cards came, I hit my set a few times, finally I got $ 105.
Today all the money I earn I leave to play and get better and better.

I played very little live casino game. We played mainly with friends at low rates and with the biggest win in the region of $ 100. And this is many times, I do not know what exactly I spent them on, but I spent them))). Not so large amounts to remember the costs.

Yes. I lost it the same day. I won a freeroll with 20 € and lost a cash game. I still don't like cash games. :))

The first time I win I think it was 30 dollars in a group cards chat tournament last winter, we won the first place and we played a part to everyone, after that I think it takes me longer to win it than to spend it on Sunday tournaments, once I despair so much for being in the Sunday Storm that I think there I spent almost everything trying to enter that tournament, although if I manage to enter I don't get to the cash.

I can remember every single one of my wins, that feeling is what keeps me coming back for more.

If you want to know what cards I had for the final hands or where the prize money went I really have no clue. The prize money, whether big or small, does not compare to the thrill of winning.

Of course. Gone with the wind I will say if you now what I mean. Almost everything earned was gone because of my bad bankroll management.

I was thinking about this thread again and I think it made me realise something. It really isn't about the money.

This is more about money than it is about poker. I asked myself what my biggest salary was and what I bought with that? Do you know what you did with your biggest salary? Money gets spent, that is its purpose, the more you have the higher your cost of living.

BRM should be seen in the same light, the more you have the higher stakes you can afford. Just like earning a salary it is not how much you earn but more importantly that you try to earn something.

I never play poker for big stakes so I have never had a very large win.
I take it for a tournament.

Before the win, I planned to buy a car, and when it was possible to win and withdraw $ 1k, I added to the amount I was going to spend on cars and bought better ones. :)

When I started playing, I won some tournaments and 2k playing omaha at Pokerstars, I bought a new laptop, glasses, spent it with my girlfriend at the time and about 30% left it in the game to continue.

Was quite a few years ago when I only played poker extremely sporadically. Had about $2 in my account. Played a $1.75 satty to a $7.50bounty and obviously got the seat. Finished 5th in that for around $500ish + the top 5 got a seat to the 109bounty. Grabbed a couple bounties in that as well to take me to roughly $750 so I then went to some cash tables and stopped when it hit about $2k.

Withdrew about half of it and got myself a laptop so I could finally play without being limited to mobile only.


TL;DR - turned $1.75 into $2k over about 12hrs and bought a laptop [emoji14]

I played a tournament with 50 people, it lasted about 8 hours and I won 150 $.
Well what did I do? I took my girlfriend to the restaurant and the cinema.

I really don't play high because I'm retired and not able to. when I do win my big pots are like 6.40 and I use that to keep playing.
