Still waiting for it, lol. (does placing 2nd in the Fergadonkament my first night playing online count?.. LOL).
Haven't had a good score but haven't put in any volume yet either and am currently only rolled for the $26 donkaments.  What do I imagine I'll do???.... umm probably hoard every penny of it in my acccount and be sure to not tell the g/f so I don't end up spewing off $$'s to support her SNG habit (again... sigh....) - - hoard it so that I am rolled to at least be playing the $50buyins.

Mennas Joint:

 How properly rolled are you for those $26 donkaments?

Imo if you want a small br to go really really really far put it on stars and play a days worth of their $11 tourneys plus their 4.4/180's. No decent player in the world can go broke with this mixture and just one run of good luck and you've binked yourself 5k.

Mine was pretty memorable.

     Was playing on Party back in '05 with $50 deposits while slowly committing suicide selling cars at a GM dealership. I'm stoned outta my wig and down to the final table in the nightly 40k $20 buy-in. Knock knock at the door and my roomate anwers it. It's this unreal hot chick I knew in high school and had always wanted to make the sex with. We had run into each other a few days before and she found out where I lived through a mutual friend.
     I'm feelin a bit nervous since i got uber-reefed and wasn't expecting to have to play the pimp role. I win the tourny for 10k which blew her (and myself) away. Ensuing backflips, highfives and fist pumps end up in the bedroom :)
     Quit slave job soon after and had frequent meetings with her for some time. Fast forward a few months...money gets slowly donked off and she fucks my roomate in Spain! Fun.
     I still ranks as one of the best nights of my life.

Winning $800 on pokerroom when I was first starting out, with maybe a $300 bankroll.

about 2 years after that I won the 200k on ub, and felt no emotion at all.

8ball

My first 4 figure score was on Pacific Poker when I was 19 yo. I remember thinking how excited I was to win $1,500 in a $33 tourny. Unemployed at the time, it was a pretty sweet feeling. However I've hated finishing 2nd in a tourny since that day lol.

I came thru with my first 5 figure score this year on Bodog and since I won the tourny, it was my most shibby moment playing poker! I let out a huge scream of yes!...Which of course woke my family up :-P. In contrast, I finished 2nd in the same tourny a little over 3 months later and didn't make a sound haha.

My winnings were either wire transferred to my bank or paid in several checks. I've set money aside from what I've won this year to pay taxes, though I despise it. Taxes suck imo.

felt better than a blumpkin on a hot summer day.

got 3rd in brawl for 49k and was somewhat tilted cuz i got cooleredddd so it didnt hit me till a couple days later, fk utreg

threw my hat across the room, fist pump fist pump fist pump some verbal nonsense etc, followed shortly by victory bong rips

party poker 750k guarenteed i took 5th for 27k. I was 19 and living in my first apartment at penn state.  Dropped the semester and enjoyed the best 3 months of my life.

haha theres some pretty good stories in this thread

I was straight brizzoke and had just gone through a purple haze/roor induced panic attack the night before/had a major falling out with the love of my life haha...decided I was gonna quit weed or whatever and get my life on track.

So that night I passed on the bowl and was playing in a $10 knockout on full tilt with 782 runners when I only had like $48 in my account and like zero dollars in my bank account...shipped it for like $1600 or so and just paced around outside for awhile cause I was so blown away

The very next sunday night I shipped the $10 Double A for like $2800, cashed out everything but $2600 and started my grind at the $26 level.

I've been grinding tourneys for a living ever since, haven't even stopped to think about how crazy its all been really...oh and btw I haven't passed on the bowl since that night. But sometimes when the wind howls and the moon is shining bright...I think of my long lost love...

will probably never feel as good to win any amount of $ ever again

First time i won a couple g's was back when i was a idiot and only played on UB for some dumb reason. Usually what occurs is a few more cashes for another couple g's and then a late night at the bar ensues followed by me Blasting threw my winnings blacked out drunk at 3:00 a.m. Unfortuneatley I have repeated this cycle multiple times on stars and ftp as well. Wake up in morning with hangover...wtf again...check cpu....chat is banned = bankroll is dusted. Except one day when i managed to FT a $50 rebuy blacked out, what an accomplishment. I wish stars had a 12 hr self exclusion like ftp so i could make a decent living. Putting $200 on stars today and planning on no drinking until WCOOP is over minus a few beers here and there.

 My first four figure score was back in 07. I was playing a $24 on Full Tilt and managed to get down to the final two tables.  I had been running really hot obviously, and I was in a great position to FT.  With about 12 people left I had the closest person 2-1 in chips. I was king.  Then Full Tilt disconnected; not my internet, just Full Tilt.  I knew this because my internet worked, AIM worked, and I even got my roommate's computer to try to sign onto that. I made a few calls but everyone was asleep at 2AM or whatever. I finally said fuck it, drove 20 minutes to my parent's house and played the rest of the tournament. I finished 5th for $1k. I was so pissed about it, even though it was my biggest score. (Although looking back, I was so bad that I was probably lucky to even get that, but aside, fuck disconnections).
