Win Tournament

Whats big? 800 people or more or is it the cash purse?
I've won a 800+ people tournament 3 times but it was microstakes. .10 cent buy ins
90 dollar first place prize.

The first time I was amazed. 2nd and third time I started feeling like I was actually good.

Has anyone here ever nailed any big poker tournaments? If yes what was it? And what is the feeling at the moment?

If you mean big tournament measured by numbers, then I have to say you will hardly find people who did. I personally know some online grinders who haven't won a single MTT online (which is understandable given the number of players exceed couple of thousands) but are still quite profitable overall.

As for me, I have won two live tournaments, and I was super excited about it but it was a small field of players (30 first one, and I believe 40+ the second one)

I finished second in the tournament where there were 45 people and the ticket cost $ 0.25. It was amazing despite the fact that I had to take 4th place because I had a small bank, but I knocked out two big banks and lost to the Brazilian.

a great tournament, no,
but after that it comes only in a final table, the feeling is pure professionalism

:bike:

I never won a tournament, for some reason I do a lot better on cashgames and sit & go's, when it comes to tournaments I'm always in the money but I never made it to the final table

It's a feeling when the half of the game was a very big desire to sleep, and at 9am on the final table, I'm not going to sleep anymore.

I won a freeroll with 6000 people. Unfortunately, first prize was 25 bucks. Won a couple small casino tourneys - 50 people or so, that's fun!

I have won a few big tournaments and it feels great. Winning the small ones feels pretty good also! I love the competition and if you can survive and win you are the best for that tournament.

One time I won a cardschat freeroll tournament and its a great feeling to win a tournament when more than 100 people participated.

The feeling is crazy, you do not know whether to believe it at the time, the adrenaline consumes you after having played 15 hours and take you a prize that changes your life, I change it and it was great, first time I played it and I I won, I talk about the sunday million on January 29, 2012, it hurts that there is nothing left of that hahahaha

I won the big 1.10 on pokerstars last december with 4.400+ entrants. was really amazing
