and you, what did you buy?
The first thing I bought with poker money was my laptop, which I currently use to play and do other activities.

I think it's the usual, which is to invest in tournaments to win a bigger pot. In the end, the day will come when I will focus on several hours and win a larger amount of $😁.

unfortunately, I have never won such a large amount that I could have used to buy something big :D
The question is about the first thing you bought with poker money. Because it has to be about something big, don't the little things count too?

unfortunately, I do not have big, good wins yet, but I try to reach heights in poker and invest money to finish the repair and furnishing of my house, and some of them will certainly go to the Armed Forces (Y)

I bought a book about how to win at poker, read it and burned it.
Just go with your gut.
I went from a 33 inch waist with visible ribcage to 36 inch waist and no ribs in sight just going with it sometimes folding low pocket pairs as at the end of the day its a computer program and cards u usually play early it'll give them again in later stages to trip up u and your confidence and depending on mood and condition it may work so no book can teach anything about feeling.

The first thing I bought when I earned a good amount of money was a pc and went on a trip, I think they are nice memories that I will never forget.

The first purchase was this plush orca. This was the night that Sam's Town Gold River (Laughlin, NV) introduced $1-3 limit Hold 'Em. Bought in for $50 and cashed out $257 (a ridiculous amount to win when the most you can bet is $3.00) those tourists had no idea how to play. This was in 1988, way before the game became well known.

After cashing out, visited the gift shop.

I also paid the rent several times from winnings at the Poker Palace (Las Vegas) $1-4 limit Hold 'Em. The Poker Palace is the first casino you hir when coming from Nellis AFB. Those fly-boys didn't understand Poker at all. Between them and the old retirees (I still haven't figured out where they got all that money) I did very well at the PP.

When I won a few years ago, I did a good makeover at my beach house. Recently, what I earned was enough to travel with my wife for 52 days, divided into 4 months. I hope that in 2023, much more will come

Used some of mine to buy a 65' 4K Smart television . Great decision has got me through a foot injury and Covid. Was over TV but the movies and sport are so brilliant, I'm getting hooked again.

I don't consider buying absolutely anything lasting, between deposits and withdrawals I paid consumer bills nothing special. I plan to buy a yellow MacLaren.

Sounds like a guy who could really benefit from reading a decent poker book.

I bought quite a lot of things with the money I managed to win. I bought a smartphone, bought a TV and a steering wheel for a PC.

Big hits are always wonderful.

Every time I hit one it feels wonderful.

The first thing I did was invest in my game by buying a monitor 7 years ago.

This feeling is wonderful, it just ends up making up for all the bad ^^

Given the commission charged in my country for withdrawing money from this game, I am not thinking of withdrawing yet, but I am thinking of expanding to other platforms.
