This is a very interesting question, I am now building a house, and my Bulgarian broke down well, I have been building a house for several years, and about a year ago it broke down and I just at that time withdrew money from the PS and bought a new Bulgarian, like a trifle but nice and just in time.

I have never taken money out of a poker site...but I have worked my freeroll earnings up to $150 three times, only to go for broke and lose it all.



Oooops. Rule 1 Never loose, Rule 2 withdraw winnings, Rule 3 see rule 1

If you withdraw $100 , you could always credit your account the next day (set daily limits)
A large balance can become zero in no time.

You could also gain bonus from the poker site where you play.

Ex. credit $100 get free tickets / bonus credit

cr+ $100 then dr-$100 then cr+$100 = cr+$200 on your poker account (more than your $150

Play the system and the poker:bandit:

This $150 to $0 is a thing, if playing freerolls what stakes did you play to lose $150?

You can always play 20c games 50c games $1 games.. its much harder to go broke?

Every once in awhile I get a hundred dollars sent to my bank account and that is the bank account that I use to pay household expenses like TV and phone and internet--so it sometimes helps a little with that

I am currently saving some money for a laptop as I don't have 1, then after that I will save money towards a new PC and a couple monitors, I will be after a Gaming PC so will probably try to save a couple grand, and it will hurt my wallet but I think it will be worth it, maybe? I have tried gaming on pc but I'm running a potato atm which is alright for poker but not for nerdy games in highest settings. >.>

From on-line poker my winning's goes straight into my bankroll that I will never withdraw.
From Casino winnings in live games most of it goes to the wife. I remember going out one night to play at a regular poker match and she said she needed money for holiday clothes as we were due to go abroad in a week or two, and she would be asleep in bed when I got back so I said to her "I will leave my winnings on the coffee table for you"
"Who says you are going to win?" she asked
"I do" I replied and the next morning she woke up to a stack of cash on the table with a note from me saying Knock yourself out sweetheart!
She wrote underneath I guess you won last night then XXX

She was happy and bought herself some new gear to go away with.

Hi! I haven't played enough SS games yet, so I only won about $ 4. But I hope I have everything ahead of me, because I dream of many things. :) In General, I have not yet had big winnings, so much to buy something valuable. But I didn't spend enough time studying the game,I had no clear goals, just entertainment. I feel differently about poker now. But now I still don't have much time for training and the game itself, but I dream in the future to learn how to play well, win and buy something worthwhile. Congratulations on your shopping! You're good! Good luck next!

I have gone up to as much as $200 on ps and went broke. $100 / $130+ dollars and went broke all different times.

The way I see it I bought much needed experience.

Better to go broke at $200 and learn than to get to $1,000,000.00 and still go broke. That would be maddening. But I intend to subject myself to strict bankroll management and work my way up to a new phone, new laptop, new house (if I win the sunday storm or sunday million) and a new car in that order.

After that more poker and philanthropy :D

It is very sad what mine hehehej only one pair of sneakers I managed to buy many years ago playing in a neighborhood poker club, now in this new modern stage let's say, online the maximum I earn was 300 dollars which I sold and with that I paid my monthly expenses.

:cool: I have bought many things, apart from food, and I have bought all the things in my home, such as a refrigerator, kitchen, television, beds, among other things.


If you lose, don't bother, understand that you gave your best ...

I would buy myself the convenience of the game. For example a good laptop and a chair. It's good when you sit comfortably. then a lot of things for the house. Basically I want to buy myself a house in another city))

every month, if its a positive month, I divide the "winnings" into 3 categories - bankroll (if I hit enough to move up in stakes), reinvestment (new PC, adjustable table, comfortable chair, training course, or subscription to one of the training sites), and last category is "Me money" - where I spend on whatever I want - this is the money I earn and spend on myself/family. There is no set percentage each month, pending what goals I'm trying to achieve, but I always divide the winnings in those 3 categories.

I hit two jackpots before having my son years ago. And was able to buy him all the stuff he needed like crib clothes and all that. And gave my parents money so they can do what ever they wanted with it.

Hello forum members!What is the most expensive purchase you've made since winning poker?As for me, I pleasured myself with a new phone, laptop, TV and made repairs in the apartment .By the way, I earned this money won thanks to CardsChat.Thanks CC:elefant:


With the money earned it was possible to buy a new pc and build my office for games.
