With my first live game prize I went to dinner with my girlfriend, bought some clothes and saved the rest for future buy ins.
Already the online prizes were all reinvested in games. But none very significant.

My first ever ( for me big win back then ) was in a low stakes buyin MTT I think 3,30 / 4,40 USD buy-in on pokerstars. It hade somewhere around 3000 people and I ended rank 1 winning a total of just over 1.000usd. Till that point my account probably had never been over 100 usd ;) I woke up next day thinking I would race to the top haha and started playing cash games with high buy ins. Of-course I lost all in just few days. But it was after that I begin reading and watching about poker. So for me was an expensive lesson, but I needed it ;)

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]

My first cash was in a freeroll around 120$ ..took 3rd place. I cash out 100$ and i bought myself a phone. Feels good man

I USED my first big win to practice, improve,etc.
turned out to be exactly what I needed to do.
I actually got really lucky twice on my way to that prize money.
now I know my mistakes, I took 3rd but should have won.

I only played online poker, and when I won my first free cash ($2 in a tournament at FullTilt), I invested in a $0.01-$0.02 cash game table. I won a little and left, then went to another table and kept repeating the process until I had a considerable amount.

As the old joke goes, I used it for whiskey, women and gambling. The rest of it I just wasted.

Yes I recall. In fact, whenever I win online tournaments I take a print and save the image, as if it were a winning gallery, because when I'm going through a bad race to be able to look and reassure myself.
I also remember my first live win, it was the first time I went to a poker club, it was pure "beginner's luck" as they say. haha
