What have we done? What do we do?

We are all winning players right?

So what do you do with your profits?

Have we paid for a holiday with a poker bink? Does it all stay in your account and you are able to build up to higher stakes games?
Do you treat yourselves to some luxuries that you wouldn’t otherwise buy?

For example. An acquaintance of mine once went on holiday and hired an extremely attractive Vietnamese lady after a big win. I’m sure it was just to show him around the place.

    First big tournament win was £1,770 from a Thursday Roller when those were a thing and I got the seat from the old League Stars Freeroll.

    Punted a £1.4k gaming PC which I still use today.

    Usually just goes on boring life stuff nowadays though :(

    Naturally. I can't think of any other reason.

    Fixed your post for comedy effect.

    I go for the George Best approach and spend most of it on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squander :)

    @Duesenberg

    Always loved that story. Does the room service guy make a good point though?

    I bought myself a shiny new laptop, I get help using the functions ( turn on/off etc)
    Any other profit I made over the years has gone on gifts for dear lady, awesome grandson and Daughter, also exchanged for dollars towards holiday spending money.
    It’s a great feeling being able to treat someone.
