What would you do with money from a big win?

if i win a big pot one day i would spend it for my family to go traveling around the world for vacations

If I ever hit a big win, I’d invest most of it into stocks and bonds, and with the rest — I’d finally visit Australia. Always wanted to go there if I ever had the chance!

I would invest in cryptocurrency to get passive income. And I would work on my own project.

Use a bankroll of 10,000 dollars to play, and I would recommend you go live in Argentina. My friend, here 1 dollar is 1,400 pesos, you could live like a king.

If I win $100k from a poker tournament? First thing I'd do is the responsible thing of course… buy a new pair of lucky shoes, grab an overpriced bag of chips, and celebrate alone at a VIP table because suddenly all your friends get "busy" when you win money 😅

Then I’d manage the money wisely. Maybe keep 10% in the bank… not an actual bank, I mean the nightly cash game bankroll. I might buy a fake fancy watch because who needs a real one when you play online and no one sees you anyway

I’d consider starting a business too like a coffee stand outside the casino door. Great market. Either sad losers needing comfort or happy winners needing caffeine to stay focused

And of course I'd write a thank-you note to Lady Luck. Something like “Dear RNG gods thank you for the blessing I promise to not mess this up... too badly”

Eventually I’d leave a small part of the winnings maybe five bucks to remind me of reality when the party’s over and start grinding freerolls again like a true warrior

I would buy a house, a car, pay off some debts and invest whatever is left in some business.

I'm going to spend 90k on my dreams and leave 10k for poker^.^

max out that tax free savings account!

Invest smart

I spent most of it on real life needs and left the rest for the game.

We have a saying: you can't divide the skin of a bear that hasn't been killed. This can scare away luck.

Invest half, enjoy a quarter (travel/house). 1/8th back into the bankroll, 1/8th on the bank account.

A 100k ... hmm invest in home , and a very nice trip to the Bahamas 😄

It just seems to me that 100k is not that much money anymore. Anyway, presuming you win a really big sum of money, you need to hire a money manager or some sort of professional help. There's a documentary about people who won the lottery, don't remember the name but you can google it. Most of the lottery winners spent the money in a few years. You need a high level of financial literacy to know what to do with money to preserve wealth.

Well surelly invest some nice money at my property, maybe get a nicer offroad car and of corse I would put like 20k on the side to invest in poker

As always, everything I earn, I use for travel, maintenance of my house on the island, the city house, the country house and I would buy some more animals for the farm.

Bank 50% then add 40% to my poker bank role and 10% to my pension pot. Play tourneys with max buy in no more than 0.005% of poker bank role (max £200 buy in). Extended to 0.03% max (£1500) once every 3 months. Any win under £10,000, 80% back into poker bankroll, 20% added to pension pot, any win over £10k same principle. Until the bankroll is exhausted at which point I'd retire. 50k is at least 250 games with decent prize pool. Not to mention the number of satellites you could play to save money on entry fees for big games.

If you can manage to reach top 20% of the field 50% of the time and reach the final table 5% of the time for 20 years you'd have a decent pension (minimum £500k)

It's a big ask, most people that try will last less than 18 months, 20% less than 3 years, 5% make it to 5 years 3% 10 years and 1% 15 years and less than 1% make the 20 years plus!

99.9% of all players don't start the journey!

The Journey being £40k bankroll spending an average of £750 per week on tourneys (including food and travel).

You can't really start unless you do win £100k, which was your question!

I would try to multiply it by playing poker, increasing the stakes in Sit&Go DoN games.

I had some money left over for the game and would have bought an apartment.
