What would you do if you won a large sum of money in a tournament?

[pavel1111111]

first of all i would by me a decent car , a part of the money i will put them in a bank and maybe 10-20% i will keep to play higher stakes tournament

 

[Snake2007]

If I won a big amount at a tournament I would invest it in the house.

 

[xpvictor1]

Give it to my children except for the first 10% goes to charities.

 

[Spielkind]

i would play Las Vegas wsop, then a cruise araound the world with aida or other

 

[TCHUCO2005]

I'd probably keep playing, ah before I forget... I'd save good money so I don't have any more trouble paying for my son's school and college.

 

[VikyGia]

[xXFelaXx]

Money won at a tournament

Once i win a big amount of money at a tourney, i would withdraw it all and book me a trip to a country on top of my wish list. Nowadays turkey is at the top.

It all depends on the amount of winnings in the tournament, for someone $ 1000 is a large amount, and for someone else, $ 100,000 is not enough ... If the amount is $ 1,000, I will spend on vacation, and if more than $ 100,000, then I would invest in shares: Home goods retailer Home Depot (NYSE: HD), Electronic Payments Giant, visa (NYSE: V), Food and Beverage Giant Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO) to ensure a stable dividend payout.

my maximum winning amount is the second place in cardchat in a 1k $ tournament it was 160 I spent them on shoes and pants I love cardchat if I won a huge amount I would leave something for the bank roll and spend the rest on improving my life

 

[Alizona]

First I would panic. Then I would be sad.

You see, I vowed long ago to NEVER make a real money deposit to a website. Black Friday (April 15, 2011) scarred us American poker players for life. At least it negatively impacted me.

But I never lost my love for poker obviously... so I began to play freerolls with the hope of building a bankroll that way, for free.

Little did I know how successful my experiment would be!! Today my bankroll stands in the low four digits, which still isn't quite enough to get me excited, but it is most certainly WAY MORE than enough to have a real shot at BIG money...

...and that's when I get nervous and scared, thinking about it. You see, there's always a problem for those of us who never deposit... the sites do NOT want us to take our "free money" off their site very easily, so they do everything they can to try and prevent it... basically, they put a large "rake requirement" on our accounts before we can actually withdraw significant money... and since I don't grind cash games at all, I don't pay very much rake to the site... so even if I win a big score someday, I probably won't be able to withdraw much of it.

And then in addition to the sites themselves, if we ARE able to withdraw a significant amount of money, well now we have to actually transfer it into our home bank so we can actually use the money... and at least for us Americans (the "Land of the Free", remember, which is a total joke on Americans), this is where the big problems really begin. Depositing a large amount of money out of the blue leads to all sorts of potential investigations, and it would be done without our knowledge. Basically its like a huge red flag for the "authorities" who seem to make it their job to try and steal it away from us by accusing us of "terrorist activities" or they'll make up some other equally ridiculous excuse...

...so to cut my long story short... I HOPE I NEVER WIN ANYTHING. lol

 

[Raphael Zabel]

I would withdraw a good part to pay the bills and would use the rest as a bankroll to continue playing and looking for new prizes.

 

[AizenFalck]

Definitely investing in my family and my business, it would also be a perfect opportunity to travel with my loved ones to travel the world and see new places and new people, I would never lose the opportunity to do this. Regards.

 

[fernandofcp]

If I made a large sum of money playing poker, I would have a really cool trip with my family.

 

[steve01991]

bank it!

 

[KrazyKoo]

Invest it in crypto

 

[Rui Ferreira]

I would buy a house and organize myself to never break down and never make a deposit again if I was going to make a deposit only if it was for a promotion

 

[jason2626]

Big jay wants to know

I would save my money and catch out I would still play because I love the game

 

[Luvepoker]

If I won, I would set up my kids college education funds. My daughter is brilliant and looking at some good schools I just cant afford. I would hopefully have enough left for my retirement fund. I enough maybe play the WSOP main event one time.

 

[michel valente]

It depends on the tournaments

for example: a 100,000K tournament, guaranteed to the winner, I would be traveling to beautiful places

 

[YenRodriguez]

First of all, I would buy a house for my family, and then I would find a way to create a business. invest in something that generates income.

 

[Mamkin_Pokerist]

I would cash out 70-80% of the winnings and invest in real estate, cryptocurrency and use it for leisure and everyday life. I would use the remaining money to learn how to play poker and directly to play at larger limits

 

[airvikki]

t may be trite, but I distributed the big winnings as follows: teaching my son, for the treatment of my mother and myself, pay off debts, make major repairs in the apartment, or even better, I would buy a house) I would go on a trip, invest part of the money, part in charity, and of course to play poker

 

[Pripri1986]

It would definately be putting a deposit down on a house.

 

[NightStalker]

I would quit my job.
