Biggest Win?

[Karl]

What's your biggest win playing online poker? Personally, my biggest win was when I came 2nd in a $10 NL tournament. I came out with about $350, which was nice

Second to that was in a ring game, where I held the nuts and had two guys in the pot with me, they both threw in about $75 each and I took the lot with a gutshot straight

I've won 150 bones from a table playing with a bunch of friends before but all they do is win it back the next night...bummer! Must keep playing online ha!!

My biggest win would have been when I was at University. I remember we all put in £10 to begin with and played with chips - being students that's all we could really afford. However, it all got a bit serious after I lost with my 3 of a kind to a straight that I should have spotted. There were some girls round the table so it was sort of a pride thing going on - I wasn't going to be beaten to someone I considered a bad player. He just had all the luck that night. Anyway, I snook off to my room during the break and came back with £75 that I had from selling my slightly defective phone roughly a week earlier, I knew this guy had the money so with a smile on my face I began playing. You wouldn't believe how the luck changed to be on me. I am a good player but this really was luck. I had at least 3 full houses, 1 4 of a king, and several flushes and straights. Safe to say I lapped up all the chips he put down and walked away with just under £135.

Nicely done! Yes, luck definitely has to be on your side every once in a while at poker!

Biggest win was about $180 dollers in a Online $5 multi table tournament, I should of won if I'm honest I was in control and had the chip lead.

Had the aces put out a big bet and the other guy made a delayed call, On the flop I made a 2nd big bet and he called instantly, so after the turn I pushed all in with only the aces behind me and he instantly called, turns out he had made two pair on the flop. After that I kind of tilted and it was over within 5 hands.

In hindsight you see were you went wrong but I suppose you live and learn

Wow! That was a nice run of luck! It just goes to show if you know how to play and stick it out, things can start going your way.

Wow, nice streak of luck! So if your luck had gone the *other* way, did you have something else in mind to do next, or would a loss at that point have spelled the end of the road for you?

there are some great wins here.the biggers win i`ve had was around 80$ and i have to say i was really pleased when i won.it took a while but the feeling was great

The most I have won is $1000 in a heads up tournament, I had lost a bunch at a bunch of $100 heads up tables, so I figured I needed to win my money back and entered a $500 and came out on top.
