In my country, each dollar was 3 reais, I went to a bar and drink a lot, paid for me and my friends.

My first win was at a local card room. I won $700 for 1st place and then my husband and I went to Biloxi, MS. I had a very profitable weekend, I won over $4,000 and gave it to my husband to keep and pay bills.

I'm sure it was a live game at local casino. I'm also sure it was reinvested back in the game.

I know exactly what I did with my first poker winnings. I spent it on booze and more poker.

Paid off most of my debt. At the time I was not aspiring to be a semi pro player but doing that helped me not to worry so much about money but instead the game.

the first money I raised was about $ 600, first of all I thought was finding another $ 1,000, so much was needed for my mother for surgery, cancer, in a private clinic, I did not manage to collect, but everything went well after her, after a month She worked for a day in a state hospital, and I steamed the money into the necessities she needed.

Yes!
I can t forget that day.

Was a depositors tournament on full tilt poker.
I made a min deposit, 10$, i got the ticket and played the tournament 1 month later.
Was sunday.. tournament started at like 17:00 and I played like 7 hours straight.

1/1000 players. 1440$. Was perfect. I was so happy.

But unfortunetly I lost like 140$ second day. Glad that I spent that 1300$ on cloths and stuffs irl.
Anyways, was nice. And that was the moment when i felt in love with this game :)

I am playing poker for almost 8 years. When I started I was playing mostly cash games, grinding trying to make good income, spending my money to help at home to my parents and etc. Also and playing a lot of tourneys online mostly, cos there was no poker room near to my home town that to host some big nice torney. So I am playing online that one tourney and I doing really good, probably the long hours spent playing start to payout, cos I really had a problem even getting to the buble, but this time was different I pass the bubble and we were only 18 players left, when my laptop start crashing, begin losing connection with the Wi-fi, slowing down my clicks and in one moment my time bank was empty. My god it was really stressful but I succeed to get to the final table and we were left only 5 players, my laptop get in that moment like a second life and begun running as normally as before. After another about 45-50min playing I get to the final hand my opponent was all in me with 10Jo in hand my stack was almost 6times bigger so it was snap call for me, and I was vs AQs, flop was rainbow both of us missing, turn card was 3 of diamonds giving him the flush draw, I thought okay we will play little bit longer and snap 10♥ on river and a win for me. The hardest earn 900$ in my life till then. Of course the first thing I did on the next day was to buy a new laptop hehe 👍👍

The first prize I won was from my husband's friends who gathered to play in my house one day they invited me to play cash with them, I confirm that the deck that day was on my side, I took all their money and they complained that I had said that I did not know how to play. I really did not know but I was lucky as a beginner.

I remember, it was a sixth place in the Party (Buy-in $22 / $647)

I also left a bigger part at home ($500) and the rest I went "multiply" in an omaha cashgame
I wanted something faster this time (and it really was) :damnmate:

Some hours later...:eek:

Yeah, $0! after that I went to read about banking management :)

My first nice win was my first ever online tournament played! It was a great bink for my college self, about 440 dollars from a 5 dollar tourney. All of my friends from the dorm were watching and cheering me on despite most of them knowing almost nothing about poker. I used some of the winnings to take everyone out for ice cream, and then I had to reinvest the rest into my poker bankroll.:D

hello my dear, I remember the first time I won my first tournament. I particularly did not do anything with the money won, I left it quietly to be able to grow my bankroll and play more expensive tournaments in the future. But I remember that I was very happy because winning the first tournament of an incredible sensation LOL
