I usually play only small sit and go's... 6-30players. Buy-in from 2$ to 5$. So i haven't never got any big wins, i think the biggest win is only something like ~35 euros... Huge MTT's are not for me (except freerolls )

My biggest win was 450 dollars on unibet. It was a 2750 guarenteed freezeout tourney with a 25 dollar buyin. I don't play tourney's with rebuys and add ons. Most of the time its a lottery

I was quite happy but also a little bit dissapointed. When we were down to 3 people left in the tourney i had the most chips... But still went 3rd ( 450 dollars) but if i ended first i would have won 1000 dollars so that makes a big difference

i never play tourney's only ring games the wedger is to high for me looking to what you can win. and most of the times you have to be lucky, so i keep playing cash games. my best won there was 24 dollars but that is much for me

My biggest win so far was app. 800usd. I started a rounders from level 1 on a microgaming site. The buyin was 5usd and I made it all the way through to the last level 5 (i think it was) we were 3 guys left so all of us were in the money. Something like 2500-3000usd for first place, 1500usd for second and 800 for third. The chipleader got disconnected and he was disconnected for awhile. Me and the other player agreed to let the timer run out on each turn so he would have a fair chance and not lose all his chips on blinds. Took about 15 minutes before he was back (im kinda proud of my fairness and hope karma will pay me back one day) I finished third and the chipleader that got disconnected won it. largest sum I have taken down with one hand was app. 240usd with a full house jacks 10's

Won a couple tournaments, not much of a tourney player. Highest prize i won in an online tourney was about 2k ( I played terrible and won!) Ring games, hummm, turned very little into very much.
something about 450-500, it was shorthanded deepstack tournament in Ongame, and i finished at 3rd place i was really happy)) but i think that my biggest win in the future

if you want to try tournaments, i sugest you try out multi-table sit'n goes first, i started that way and worked my way up the ladder. try low buyin's and get the feel of it, then try higher, but not to high. and if you got a good strategy and a nice winning progress, i gues you can go for the larger tournamnets
Pot about 1,2 milion dollars
