I have only won a couple of bucks here or there, and you know where it goes. It is back to playing a few more cash games to try and increase the pile. Got up to about $12 one time. Played a $3 spin and go game and got down to 2 players. Had a full house playing for prize of $75, and buddy hit a better boat. I was sunk !!! So was my bankroll after that game.

Oh yes , I remember because was a happy story , right after playing just freerolls I got first place on PKR on a 2400 people and then next thing was buy into a 10$ 6max tourney that I won to for about 1400$ ,
then I went on and played HU 5-10$ with a guy that in a few years after(2 I think)signed for PKR pro and won about 5k$ of him dont know how stil :)
And I managed to make 2 x 3k$ withdrawals soon after , was a good time on that site until I started playing drunk and blew my roll :(
this days I have a fam tho and cant play for the money I used to and there's no time also , plus the game just got harder from what I can tell or just me got bad at it.

I don't remember exactly what I did with my 1st cashout, but it was not that big anyway, it was like $25.

My first win in poker was in a home game organized by friends years ago. I remember that some of these friends invited me to the game (of which I had no idea) and they explained superficially the growing sequence of the best hands in a logical way. Playing intuitively and paying close attention to the actions of the table I managed to get third place and win a small prize in Reais (Brazilian currency) which fascinated me by the game and encouraged me to learn more about the game and its many possibilities. Since then I've learned a lot and evolved my game to the point of stamping on MTT and SNG from various buy-ins. I still play with these friends sometimes and it is always very good to be with them, because just as I, several have also evolved their game.

I think people should do nothing special with these winnings. Just keep building up that account, keep feeding it, keep the good bankroll management and it'll all be worth it in the end!

when i first cashed in in an online MTT i bought myself a poker remote control that allowed me to control my poker software wireless from anywhere in the room... very nice for long tournaments or cash sessions because you are not forced to sit at the computer all the time.

My first bigger prize was 300$. Can't remember what i done with it, still, it's not so much money :D
Since it was at the beginning of my poker "career" i thought that i will make tons of money in poker..wow, what illusion that was :D
I was just a fish that had sooo much luck, but of course, as any other fish i wasn't aware how big fish i was :)

I remember long time ago when I played a freeroll organized by a local casino in my City which offered 250 USD to the 1st place.
After 8 hours playing against 80 people I was able to win the tournament ( I was lucky) I recognise it he he. I gave 200 AUD yo my mom's and I kept 50 for playing the next week by the way I lost them . [emoji28]


I went to the cafeteria and ate lunch. :sheep:

About 15 years ago I won my first poker tournament. It was actually the first tournament I played in. I had $3300 and I bought myself a new computer and some internet. Then I started losing money online . Haha

I think my highest win is around $8 so I have never bought anything from my winnings. :D

I am only playing freerolls at the moment to build up a bankroll. Though I didn't start playing poker for the money, I'm playing for the competition aspect. :joyman:
