Banter and Bitchin' - General Chat + Questions and Answers - Whats Your Biggest Online Poker Win? dmoney644 - 02.01.2010, 22:07 Post subject: Whats Your Biggest Online Poker Win?Well, since this is a poker forum, lets see some of the biggest wins of your online poker career.
My best one i would have to say, and still my biggest as far as online poker goes is when i won the
$2,000 freeroll on Carbon Poker about 3 years ago i think. Ended up winning, getting the Akolade,
and collecting a cool $400 for the win out of 566 players! it was awesome!
So, What's your biggest win? No matter how big or small it may be, our biggest in our own opinion
is why we keep playing. They are all important to our ownselves.

wtg great hit dmoney....biggest win i ever had was a couple of years ago...wasnt so much the money as it wasnt much cant remember exactly but was the fact i beat a 1000 players in a ladbrokes freerol (THOSE WERE THE DAY TILL LADDIES BLOCKED MY POKER ACCOUNT GRRRRR for having 2 accounts...yet still allow me to bet on horse and casino)..more amazing was the fact i played for over 4 hours to win it as normally after a few hours i throw in the towel as concentration goes and boredom sets in which i know isnt good lol...thats why these days when i occasionally play it will just be in cash games whwere i know when ive had enough i can quit and go back later...lost count of the times i reached last 50 in freerolls just to keep going all in to quit as had had enough ...not fair on the other players as wiped some of them out with real bad cards lol

Yeah i know what you mean with the time issue, i think it took me like 6 hours to finally win this thing roflmao
i have to look at these tournaments in sections like making it half way through the field, the half of that, the like top 100, top 50, making the money, making ft, then knowing this is where it is, the FT.
i find that sometimes i do better if i play a cash game on the side, and some times i find it better if i am just focusing on this one game atm, and truely focus. What sucks is that you can play perfect poker for 3 hours, then when you get all the money in the pot, say with AA, you really have to get lucky not to have the best hand cracked.
I can remember the days playing the freerolls at Poker.com or Carbon out of 1500, making the FT 2times in the $50 freerolls and finishing 2nd one time and i was so disappointed that i didn't get 1st! i was so hot the 1st time i got 2nd roflmao, and my wife was like well how much money would you have won for 1st? i said $15! and she was like, OMG you acting like that over $15? roflmao
but like you said, it wasn't the money that was the biggest thing, it was that damn ribbon that i wanted so i could show everyone that i donked my way to 1st place! lol
I also remember when i 1st started playing, it was at Party Poker, before they had money freerolls, i used to play the free play money freerolls and out of like 10,000, i took 2nd one time, and 7th another time, and 13th once more. it wasn't long after that they started giving out money on those freerolls and wouldn't you know, i could never get there to the money like i did without money involved lol
Another good win i had was 1 week before winning that freeroll, i had just made a deposit of $25 and played a $5 buyin game and won it winning $225.01 for 1st place, then like 5 days later, i won that freeroll, ended up cashing out my 1st time, getting my check within a week for $500, which was awesome we doubled our vacation money and had our 1st real family vacation at the beach. Been hooked ever since lol

I just realized I had lost quite a few screenshots when my system was hit with a virus, forcing me to re-format my HDD. However, not all was lost as I was able to restore a few as well...here's a couple of them...
