Just being Nosey, but would like to know your biggest wins. What site? Your Nickname? Then if i come up against you I know. Mine are........ Sky Poker 15k Bounty Hunter..... 2nd £1100 Sky Poker 15k Primo.................. 5th £875 Sky Poker £1000 Velocity........... 1st (twice) £384 & £376 Player only $1000 GTD............... 1st $285 888Poker $400 GTD Poker Cam.. 1st (twice) $215 & $284 PKR Value Town........................ 3rd $102 PKR Mini Roller.......................... 1st $305
I prefer 6 max Freezeout Mtts thats why my best results are at sky poker. Full ring seem to be to slow and a shove fest in the early stages if starting chips are less than 2000

Hi!!
Not my MTTs biggest win (but almost), the most strange one. In FTP Omaha Superturbo 1+0,1 Rebuy with 1500$ G played the day FTP reopen before black Friday with very few players. 3rd with a little less than 200$, and doing nothing except allin...
My biggest win, tickets for 256$ value. I play few Mtts.

You are too good for me, don’t even bother about my nickname (same as here) because you will never find me in those tourneys or in the ring tables where I play at. Just for you to know something more about me, I use to play $0.01/$0.02 and the best MTT result I remember, and which is on my BRM profile, is 6th in a $1,000 freeroll.

I dont Know about that, as the varience is high in Mtts. I have not had a big cash for 2 months now. I dont play much cash but tend to grind sit n go's only 4 tables at one time as my pc wont do anymore.

Wow not so fast buddy, i only play micro/mid myself, i never buy in direct to these Mtts always sat in. Only been playing three years and the first two were very bad. I think i'm just about breaking even. But i have improved my game a lot since i started, Sky Poker has a lot to do with it Awesome site. I also find playing 6 max is so much more profitable. Playing position on 6 max is so strong. My First win was a £100 freeroll on Sky Poker then it took me about 12months for my next win £1000 Velocity. Last year was my best year.
Just keep pluggin away Serpang try not to play marginals out of position, it will come

At my village my friends play poker at local pub, but I never played...that poker pure gambling someones just play like lotto, someones play as drunk...and rest of them maybe better than me
Best finish/payout so far 10 dollar MTT for a first place of almost 500. Took 300 of that to high limit omaha cash game. Cashed out 800 that night.
A few .55 cent to 2.20 MTT for first place finishes in the 150/200$ range.
Practicing the MTT so I can take down that bracelet someday. haha
Live play are local 20 dollar buyins to about 18-20 players ...won a few of those. couple hundred bucks total. buddies houses...10 dollars while watchin the games/UFC. couple of bucks.

Believe it or not, just short of a six figure score back in the good old FT days. 98,149 USD to be exact. Think it worked out to be around 96k in my currency due to the exchange. Also was a frigging NIGHTMARE to get it out. Had to do quite a few withdraws, wait for them to clear, and then do more.
*Edit* also had to answer a LOT of questions to my bank because they froze my account for a bit due to "the suspicious activity".

Posted by lukasb: Compared with u guys, my biggest wins are as valuable as instructions on the back of toilet paper
i also join that category of players but hey at least i don't sweat about it, since i do not play a lot of tournaments, i do not have big wins- i usually stick to one table sit and go's and that means i can only win 4-5 buy-ins at most...on cash tables haven't made millions yet as well

Great win!!!!!!
And i understand the cashout nightmare. In the old FTP you could cashout 999$ or less without problem ant time you want, but the first 1000 or plus...
but hey at least i don't sweat about it, since i do not play a lot of tournaments, i do not have big wins- i usually stick to one table sit and go's and that means i can only win 4-5 buy-ins at most...on cash tables haven't made millions yet as well
