I've won around $ 1k in an online tournament and $500 live.

SightUnseen · Jan 6, 2021

$1.5k in a $10 tournament on Bovada. I did a ladder challenge on Bovada many years ago, I turned $5 into $1500+ in about 8 hours. Ever since that ladder challenge I struggle to get past the mid stakes limit again, the games seem to be less spewy now than in the past.

The most I ever won live, is $1500. I was up 1800, but played one more hand. The individual I was playing , was a very loose player. But I lost 300 in one hand, he had only 300. I got pocket Js ,and on flop I hit my Jack. On the flop was a pair, so I had full house. I never knew he had aces, I put him on ace rag. So I thought he had ,set from start. All I know ,is I thought I had him. All down to river came an ace, so I went all in, he quickly called. We flipped cards, and man was I disappointed. I made a big mistake , walk right into that. Then I said to wife I am outta here. Still a good night.

I mostly play poker online. The biggest win was $ 136. It was a PokerStars tournament with $ 1.1 entry. I took second place if my memory does not fail me!

Live

Online, I think my biggest prize was something like 30US$, and that was it, I usually win less than 3US$. But in live games, I've won like 100US$ (but in BRL, reais) like 4 times. My biggest prize was in a ranking that I've divided with the second place, it was a series of tournaments. This time, I won like 200US$. But that is it, I wish I wolud have won more, I really want to win and be a good player.

Online 4400$ and live 1800 euro in germany

Ecolando · Jan 7, 2021

I won $3800 online for 3rd place in a $80 buy in MTT. Would have won $5600 if a Jack hadn't hit on the turn of one of my last hands.. and then would have been a favorite to take down 1st place for $9000. I think about those final hands frequently...
I had AQ vs JJ all in preflop with a nearly equal chip stack. Q on the flop, then a J on the turn. What can ya do!

JackStraw42 · Jan 7, 2021

Its been so long since i've had a big cash but last week i got into BetOnline's 150k gtd via a $5.5 satty. Forget what place i finished but it was a $500ish cash.

Prize money

I have won multiple times on different sites but have never actually cashed out the money. I usually just put it right back in. Has anyone actually cashed out and how difficult was it?

el_soma77 · Jan 8, 2021

My best prize was $ 1,200 in one day in a 2.20 tournament. More than 5,000 people played the entry, and thank God I won the tournament, it was like 10 hours of the tournament.

Hello guys I play poker stars ah seven years is already in those years won some free and some tournaments My greatest prize in a tournament was 370 $ and a spin gos 400 $ and live was 900 reais Brazilian currency here in my town and you guys when players was the biggest live and online awards and what site? gl guys.

2010- After a losing session on Bodog Poker, decided to switch over to the casino side and played one of the absolute worst table games (but I liked it) Caribbean Stud Poker.

Played with One Dollar on Ante and One dollar on Progressive Jackpot button. Honestly I didn't even know how the Progressive Jackpot paid??!!

With around a total of $40 in my Bodog account, I started playing. Maybe after 4-5 losing plays I was dealt AKQJ10 of Spades. I clicked the "Bet" button. Nothing happened, no Bells or fireworks went off. Think the Ante paid me around $250.00. But then I looked at my Casino Chip Available Balance and it read $132,000?????!!!!! The jackpot button with the dollar on it triggered the 100% Payout of the running progressive jackpot.

Immediately called BODOG to see if that is actually what happened and they said yes. They did not allow me to withdraw all at once but instead they sent me a check between $1500-$2500 every two weeks. Paid me every cent! The checks always came from different vending companies around the US, never from the same?

Not a poker story but exciting none the less..

pontvadasz · Jan 14, 2021

There were a couple of bigger prizes - in smaller rooms: $ 1,200 - Coral - unfortunately, you can no longer play from where I live. Less successful in a big room, Pokerstarson has several smaller ones for $ 30-70.

Oh, the Cashier I dealt with recommended that I deposit the checks to my bank after hours via the ATM? (which I did)
