Well my wins are big but I have a few. My largest is $47 in a $300 guarantee. Since starting at Carbon 2 months ago that is my biggest, but I do have the following:
1. 9 1st place $2.20 SnG's at $27.50 each. (45 player) 2. 7 1st place $1.10 SnG's at 13.50 each. (45 Player) 3. 23 other 1st places in $1.10 SnG's ranging from 7.50 to 10.50 (18 & 27 Players)
Most I've ever spent to play a game is $5.50 and I know this isn't much, but I enjoy the games I play and have fun. Don't plan on getting good enough to bet any higher. I play these SnG's at Carbon!
My biggest win was $300 for 1st place at $1k tournament on Red Kings, but my 2nd biggest win was a 2nd place with $250 And was some other 1st place with smaller wins 20-50-100 dollars/euros...etc..

Posted by doomdy: But to lie about a big cash is a bit pethatic imho
Yeah, this is why part of me still wants to believe (him and Dozn01).
Simply because - it is bizarre otherwise. It just doesn't make any sense, there is no gain what so ever from lying to brm members about winning a large amount.
Like, I understand lying - I used to be an IV drug addict and compulsive gambler - believe me - I've lied plenty - but there was always a REASON for it - generally because I didn't want to face up to the truth / couldn't handle dealing with the truth.
But this sort of lie just doesn't make any sense at all - unless of course, said person is in fact a pathological liar.. In which case, then you can put it down to the pathology :/
Anyway, retribution - I hope you really did have the big win - although it certainly looks as though you either
A) Did not B) Did - but would have to also admit to multi-accounting ..

It's B. My original account, which yes IS Retribution1979, didn't have rakeback. Played on it at the begining, but once I started taking poker serious, I made a new account. Since I had already been posting in the forums under my first account name, I just continued to do so.
I'm still not posting the name on the off chance FT ever comes back up, but when I have a second, I'll try and find my screen shot I took of my balance.
I really wish people hadn't been so nosy, but ti's the interwebz, people like to stalk. My own fault for posting.

wow, u just cant stop lying your apparently old account "retribution1979" was active till 25 may11 so what you say is true , you been actively multiaccounting- using both accounts for some time or you just realised in june 2011 that you want to play poker seriously so open an account and deposit at fulltilt when its already in big trouble with US govt
really epic btw

Posted by retribution: Try and justify it all you want. Attack me. Attack my family. Call me a cheat because I use a HUD. I don't give two shits what you think, because you are a worthless scumbag of a human being, who feels it's okay to cheat people out of money. And poker rooms will welcome players like me, who play honest. And abhor people like you, and want you gone for good.
Posted by retribution: *edit* Oh by the way, if admin happens to read this, it should be noted that OP openly admitted that the account he's using to post is not his, but his "girlfriends". I'm pretty sure your TOS says 1 account per household, and no account sharing. So if he doesn't get banned for the toxic b******t he's brought to the forum, he should probably be banned for using an account that's not his.
Or let him keep blatantly breaking the rules, as that seems to be the norm around here.
and yes its the interwebz, careful when u lie cause ppl will find out pretty soon

Are we satisfied now?
No more questions. I'm a dirty multi-accounter. I admit it. I have no regret though, as I fought for weeks with Full Tilt trying to get rakeback. I took the time to hunt down who my affiliate was, and between the affiliate and Full Tilt, neither would give me rakeback, so I made a new account. I continued to post in the forums under my account, as that's what I had always posted under, plus to prevent drawing attention to the fact I made another account, as I did not want to jeopardize my account.
I'm sure my girlfriend pissed around at the micros with my account, and I played a bit to finish off a few academy challenges so I could get FT points to buy a hoodie and some other s**t from their store.
I guess it doesn't matter in hindsight, since FT probably won't be coming back any time soon.

Love it when people turn into internet detectives! I believe you retribution, and couldn't care enough to doubt you anyway. You might use a HUD but still are one of the only members who consistently provides constructive feedback about other members' hands. I believe you and believe in you, so give me a grand.

Posted by dlkiv: To small for me to see
i think it shows $97,119.13 and i feel retribution most likely had that big win too.
but considering the drama he has created in the bot thread, his strong views on the topic of cheating and acting like having high moral standards and even trying to get people banned from the site. i find it really funny and pathetic he's himself cheating by creating multiple accounts. i tbh cudnt care less whether he won 100k or 1 mil. but we had our share of liars and scammers in past in forum and i dont see nothing wrong if people are suspicious in these cases.
i know many ppl wudnt agree with me but each to their own

I'd hardly consider making a new account, solely for the purpose of getting the rakeback I should have in the first place, cheating.
I never ever once sat at the same table with both accounts. Again the absolute ONLY reason I made a new one, is because FT and my affiliate refused to budge on the the whole rakeback issue, and since I was grinding SNGS, it was a huge issue. Anyone who grinds SNGS will tell you rakeback is absolutely necessary if you want to have a decent profit margin.
Sure I kicked up some dust in the bot thread, but come on, you can't sit there and say botting and making a new account for rakeback are even close to the same thing. That guy was a huge douche, and I called it. I mean, didn't he end up scamming someone here out of some $$$ in a bad trade?

Anyway, nice paintshop, i mean nice picture, wots the name so i can see it myself at sharkscope?
Oh lord, I KNEW people would start pulling that crap. Yes, used paint to black out my personal info, but that is 100% a legit screenshot of my balance, after the tourney.
FWIW, I have absolutely ZERO talent with editing photos, nor would I bother wasting the time, I'd just ignore it.
I posted the pic, but as I said I'm not posting my name due to the whole multi-account thing.
Believe me or not, I frankly don't care. I posted a screen shot, so as far as I'm concerned I'm done trying to prove myself

Even I am playing poker for 2 or 3years I do not know my biggest win is just 300-400$.. Maybe because I am not playing a lot of tournaments.. Rather I chose to play SNG .

Yes, obviously if you don't play MTTs much, you're not likely to ever have a massive cash. Maybe SNG players could state their longest winning streaks.. Cash players could state the biggest pots they've ever won.
I won 1800 dollars on full tilt poker not long before it went down. It was my biggest ever win. I win quite regularly on pokeroom.eu as well. lots of nice italian fish there
And was some other 1st place with smaller wins
