Do you remember what did you do with your first prize or money that you won playing

[jn137]

The first time I ever played Texas Holdem live I took my winnings and bought a few new palm trees for my house! Since then I haven't touched any of my winnings. I put it all away for investments / retirement.

I understand that you stopped playing? and why?

 

[mortimccarthy]

In my early 20's went to local casino on a saturday night entered no limit holdem event for €20 ended up winning it getting €200 woke up the following sunday went on a all day drinking session and spent the lot 😁

I will never forget, I made my first deposit (first contact with poker) on Party,I entered a cashgame and won $3 in the first hand (2-3 minutes) I leave the table and check if could withdraw the amount won quickly! Yes! I went back to the table to get rich playing 2 hours, I ran out of bankroll and then I went to read about Poker, My balance has been stable since then and I make a withdrawal from time to time

The first time I cashed out I used the money to play live in the Casino, I lost all of them playing Black Jack. Second time, I put it in the bank but shortly after my bankroll was zero so I had to withdraw from the bank again I added back to pokerstars.

[pescaofish]

[Fushicho]

Must first big win was $700 and boringly I put it in my joint account with my wife and it just became part of our money.

 

[BodyCount]

I was a poor student, so I loaded the fridge in the apartment with cool beer and food.

 

[makisaa]

The first withdraw, a part of them just added to my wallet, and the rest left in the account for playing!

 

[Sabrinaamoura]

I enter another

badly won. already paid another micro tournament. because I am afraid to pay entry to a tournament over 1 dollar and have no return. I'm too safe not to get zero. since I'm in the learning phase

After being a loser for several years, I think I was very lucky and reached a WCOOP FT 109usd tournament, incredible story, qualifying from a spin of 4usd and managing to finish 5th for 20k USD, all that prize was like recovering years of Lost and lost, I was able to pay bills and buy a car 0 KM.

 

[maroca06]

When I won I was happy and ended up betting more and lost everything, kkkk It was fun.

 

[Brunokeskara]

I lost everything on an open table. lol

I spent it all on an open table thinking it was the same game with fixed fictitious. lol

My 1st big win took me to Las Vegas for a few days of poker. While I did not win in Vegas I actually broke even and went again a year later. That trip I did not win any money thought

 

[horscht22]

I used the winningcash for a travel to the maledives with my wife...It was so nice

 

[nanida888]

yes, I remember the first withdrawal from the money won in poker, and what I spent on a gift, though I don’t remember which one)) it was long ago.

 

[monicamusse]

I remember my first big prize. I think I had been playing online poker for a while back in around 2004 and decided to play in a casino live for the first time. It was in my hometown in the UK and it was a quite intimidating old school style casino.

Anyway the buy in was £20 with unlimited rebuys in the first hour or so. I thought £20 is fine I'll give it a go. After 30 mins I realised what I got myself into. People were go all in every other hand and the rebuys were out of control! At the end of the rebuys I was still in but at spent £100 in buys (a lot more than I had planned!!) I thought to myself, god I better win something after spending £100 already. Luckily I made the final table and did a deal for £500 finishing joint 2nd I think as a few of us took £500 and the chip leader took around £1k. Strange times but good memories.
