What's your favourite poker memory?

As the title says..

Mine has to be when I was younger, maybe 11 years old and my parents let me play for fun with them and a bunch of their friends. I ended up placing 2nd and getting banned for playing again until I was a legal age, but man was it fun beating a bunch of adults at the time.

Mine is the first time I came in a poker club. The sound of the chips, the words "call, raise, fold and All in, call, showdown".
It is my very best memory from poker.

Great question! I remember winning a pokerstars NHL tournament. All expenses paid to Las Vegas for the NHL awards. I didn't play in the actual poker tournament- as I finished in second place. I should have called my pocket 4’s and I would have won. Would have hit a set!!

step7 to EPT Dortmund 2009 on poker stars , I eliminated Dario Minieri .I finished 3rd and won 1650$ ,Dario was fourth and won nothing. My QJ ofs vs.AK. I saw an ace on the flop and was blinded by emotion for a moment. Only after a while I saw the next two cards :JJ .Turn and river didn't change anything

My first 2 months of learning poker, like 14 years ago I've spent first month studying to pass the quiz and earn $50 free starting bankroll, haven't paid attention to lessons at start... the second month... i managed to increase the bankroll from $50 to $800 at partypoker just by playing 6 to 8 tables of NL2 cash games. Actually that first year was really good for me. At the end of that year I was observing NL100-200-1K tables in case if there is some fish playing and one of the fun memories was a huge bluff - i pushed all-in on the turn with OESD against a very tight regular at NL1K table and he folded to me. Poker was quite different back there...

It may seem like a joke, but my best memory of Poker was when I started playing for money in a parlor and my mom found out and went to pick me up with a strap and I took a beating, I must have been about 13 to 15 years old

Mine is winning the bad beat when I played poker for the first time. It was online, I bought in for 400$ and lost almost half of it. Then I jammed with 6-6 and got called by UTG player who apparently had K-K. Then the flop was K-6-K. The river A and then turn 6. On that time I thought the game gotta be rigged and my heart was pounding as I wasn't aware of the concept of bad beat. Suddenly everyone on the table started sending emojis and I got pop up display saying win 8912$.

My favourite memories of poker circle around low suited connectors and low suited gappers in times where they weren´t so popular. People were always upset or surprised or both in a very funny way after losing their big hands against "trash".
"How you dare..."

Winning $240 in a tournament, it paid for a new dishwasher that had given up the ghost.

Getting caught playing cash dealer's choice ( I was up around $.96 when squealed on), and my father was ok with it!

My favorite poker memories are when you rank high in tournaments or when you play for real money and win decent session prizes. Even when the white streak in the game started and you're playing very well all the time.

It was the first time to make a cocktail and win full of luck

Playing against one of the best mixed games players at the time online and beating the shit out of him.

Maybe I should add that it was around New Year's Eve and he was so drunk that he could barely chat at the time.

my best memory of poker was a few years ago when I cashed for the first time hehehe I won very little but for me it was incredible to have reached the money
