How did you spend your tournament winning?

Did you cash out?
Did you lose it back in poker?
Did you take it over to the casino side?
Sportbook side?
Buy poker related stuff to improve your game?
Cocaine and Hookers?

I WISH I COULD SAY THAT I CASHED OUT WHEN I WON. USUALLY, I JUST KEEP IT AND TRY MORE EXPENSIVE TOURNAMENTS. SADLY, I LOOSE IT BACK TO POKER. ON OCASSIONS I TAKE IT TO THE CASINO WHICH WINDS UP IN A LOSS. i HAVE YET TO CASH OUT FROM ACR AND I'VE BEEN PLAYING FOR OVER 1 1/2 YEARS. HOWEVER, I STARTEDPLAYING POKER ON GLOBALPOKER DURING THE PANDEMIC. I WON $7,000 AND CASHED OUT $6,000 AND PUT IT ON MY HOUSE.

A part of them withdraw, and the rest of them for the game, to reach more eanrnings!

AjR3ckless · Aug 26, 2021

what else is there to do thank try to flip that winning to make a withdrawal...lol and take the change and try to win another big tourni to make another withdrawal, but its early days for me where that is concerned I'm in the trying to flip stage.

25% back to bankroll, 25% poker educations/tolls, 50% blow and hookers

The most time I keep my poker money on my poker bank account for playing further and levlling up. I have separated the accounts for poker and my income from daily job.
But I also use the money from the poker account sometimes and this mostly for travelling and vacations. I would not take off from my poker account more than 1/3.
One time when I was abroad, I was even happy to have this poker bank account and bank card, because my usual did not work there somehow, although I had enough money there. I paid with the credit card from my poker account and had still enough left-over to play comfortably afterwards.

Reserve a quarter as capital and other cash-out consumption

DonkArmyFish · Aug 26, 2021

Being able to separate the idea of poker bankroll and your everyday life roll is a key element to success in this game, I for one have trouble with shot taking and often find myself playing games I'm not rolled for purely because I do seem to play (and run) better in the 215, 109s etc.

Of course variance waits for no man and you can play as good as Ivey but your still getting it in with kings and you still get spiked by Aces no matter how good you think you are.

this ^ is basically what I do with anything I win... but have also taken out small withdrawals occasionally.
The plan though (this fall & winter) is to win enough to take out sums of money & invest in other things with it. Currently am investing in accumulating a motorcycle collection of older collectible bikes (ones that have been skyrocketing in value over the past 5years & are continuing to climb).
Also considering investing in the market with poker profits.

I've bought a couple of locally made cars that are going up in value as the car industry has left our shores.

I'm looking for older bikes also, nothing like the rice burner you have, I'm looking at Norton's and Triumphs, from the 50's and 60's and maybe 70's, If I could find reasonably cheap old Harley's, I'd get into them also, unfortunately I think I've missed the boat on them.

That motorcycle collection sounds really cool. So then you fix them up and sell them? Or are just collecting them for now? Investing is good. I’ve been looking into crypto and NFT’s lately and have dabbled a bit in that. We mostly invest in real estate or at least thats where we are most comfortable.

Could you explain the “market with poker profit”? That sounds interesting too. Thanks

Pretty sure he means invest on the Stock Market.

It all adds to the poker bankroll. Although I do make timely withdrawals to avoid excessive playing.

Hello, I save my winnings for my bankroll, since I play mainly freerrols, and when I reach a comfortable bankroll for the game I will play tournaments for money! For me poker is a hobby and I don't try to win a lot of money, I try to enjoy the game and make minimum mistakes! But when I win some tournament, I will definitely buy myself some thing to remember about it!

ParadiseFisher_ · Aug 27, 2021

Basically I just built my bankroll.
I cashed for more than 10k once, I paid that out and got a bike & a new terrace

fang215874 · Aug 27, 2021

Once I bought a couple of beers and chips. We noted with a friend my winnings of $ 100

Playing Live games, any winnings I achieve go into my Safe, I spend it as I need it, on whatever takes my fancy, and there is always enough for me to play the next game or Tournament that takes my fancy. I have had a couple of Holidays paid for, and my house has had a few improvements over the years.
On-line winnings goes directly into my Bankroll and it stays there, I have only ever made 2 withdrawals from On-line accounts and that was because something changed with the site I was playing on, that I didn't like or agree with, so I closed my accounts and took everything,
Pokerstars is the only Account that I still have a decent bankroll with, and have never asked for a withdrawal, The way I feel about it is, I don't need the money, what you never had, you can never miss, So why withdraw?

When the fun Stops, STOP!

One of the things I can't forget is giving freerolls to all my partners.

Pokerguy6666 · Aug 27, 2021

TulasMoreno · Aug 27, 2021

suitedsadness · Aug 28, 2021

I just put the money I make from poker back into the game, but I haven’t made much

Pawlowski · Aug 28, 2021

I was in a good wave and made some money- just take it and will go to the beach for one week.

akmost · Aug 28, 2021

Nothing , just keep them in the clients and keep playing real money tournaments alongside with CC freerolls. I may withdraw some of those if I want to buy something etc.

Daen27 · Aug 28, 2021

I always take half of it and leave the rest to play at the moment I have already won more than 1k dollars and I am glad to take it)

LoveAndPoker · Aug 28, 2021

Valera979 · Aug 28, 2021
