I have questions on players who have scored huge wins in oline tourneys. I have yet to score a huge win in online poker tourney and was wondering do the sites just straight up deposit the amount in your online bank roll and if so how do you go about withdrawing like 100k online? Do you have to do it in 5k increments or if you win that much do they have a special plan or something? The last question I have is what was your reaction and what you do with your first big win, lastly do you claim your huge online toruney wins for tax purposes?

Look forward to replies :)

initial reaction was a hardon

I spent it all. oops

a five rebuy i got 2nd in on absolute back eons ago for $390 or whatever far and away towers over anything i've done since in comparison, feeling wise.

Won $396 when my roll was non-existent about a year ago, I was jumping up on my chair during all-ins at the FT it was pretty sick.. then I FT'd the Stars Daily Thirty a few weeks ago for 2nd and $4.9k, that was the biggest rush I've had since then for sure. Was Saturday night and all my boys were in my apartment boozing up getting ready to go out for the night, we were all pretty whooped up railing me on every hand. Needless to say I got shitfaced that night and made a decent run in the Warmup about 12 hours later.. but still no 5-figure score =/. Not yet anyways =)

Thanks. Just keep grinding and trying to improve your game and the scores will come. =)

i lol'd at this

I had $150 in my account and for some reason i decided to play the 3r when i had never really played tournys with over 500 runners to much before. I ended up taking it down with no chop for 6.4k. I just kinda sat there in shock as my biggest previous win was for around $750. Had to work in a couple hours and couldnt sleep so i had to pull all nighter. I dont think i will ever get that feeing again no matter how big the win.

Classic. +1, sir.

I admit I pulled a screaming "Ship it!" when I pulled one out. Then after talking to my accountant, my enthusiasm dampened considerably.

I've had 2 x 4 figure scores.

After my first ($1100) I thought I was a balla and was rolled to play $100 buy in tourneys. I was broke reeeeeaaaaaalllllllyyyyyyyyy fast.

Did I ever tell you that you guys suck at soccer?

got 2nd in the brawl then proceded to lose it all back at cash tables.

My first significant win I won the 10 cubed on stars for 4500. I forgot to add-on at the break and only had like 280 chips...I woke up with KK one of the first hands after break and just ran like God from there on. I also double final tabled the $10 30k at the same time but got 9th in that. The highlight of this night was when Annette_15 just showed up and railed me out of randomness. Highlight of my career no doubt.
