2 years ago I played a 0.01 cent satellite, there were several tournaments until I reached the main tournament where entry cost $1050. The good thing is that it was a buyback tournament where there was a guarantee of $50,000. The bad thing is that there were 9 prize positions. It became impossible, there were players who repurchased as if the money didn't matter to them, the difficulty is that I only had one bullet, and the whole tournament was torture, it was horrible in the end after having suffered so much, I entered the final table with 5BB and gave my all. But luck was not on my side and I came in eighth with a prize of $3,900. It was the most beautiful thing. I paid my debts, I went on a trip, I filled the refrigerator, I bought a lot of clothes and saved some money for the lean times.

Its been a while back but, I bought into a $3000.00 tournament for $5.50. I was lucky/ good enough to get 3rd place, It paid $388.00 . Not a bad $5.50 investment. I did cash in $288.00 and left $100.00 for my bankroll. Still playing on that same bankroll. Looking forward to more wins like that or bigger. Just recently started back in the games. Was out for a while due to accident but im back to 100% health and feeling good about being back at the tables. I am going through a refresher period now. Things have changed a little.✌️✌️

If you want to take a refresher course, Cardschat has a 30-day free course that was written by Collin Moshman It's supposed to be a good course and well worth checking out. (I haven't gone through it but I know it's worth putting the time into it).

Good luck on the tables and Welcome to Cardschat!

Largest single online score was $2700 in a $27 tournament on Full Tilt and looong time ago. Though I've had several of a few hundred $.
Biggest win recently was $717 in a $25 tournament last night.

In live tournaments, my largest win was $11090 in a large field $100 rebuy at Club Regent casino in Winnipeg back during the Moneymaker boom. I don't actually remember much of that one though, I got really drunk and actually blacked out for most of the final table. It was all luck.

Don't play big tournaments anymore but my best was £1,000 for a £50 buy-in - live - plus £140 for the sweepstake.

On-line I don't think I have ever won a big tournament but have won several hundred dollars on occasion.

My proudest win though was in a $200 freeroll because I was first of 1725 runners.

Damn, I live in brazil, I've made 130 USD = equivalent to that time to 550 BRL, minimum wage at the time was about 1000BRL, so as I already had a job, I've paid two months of my college at the time, and I went to pizza place and had a bunch os slices as it is called (rodízio) in my country where you pay about BRL 30-40 and eat as much as you can with several options limitless. It was a hell of a week hehehe

my $100 per tournament
$460 in Sunday Million and $340 in Sunday Mystery Bounty at 888. And although the tournaments at PokerStars seem to be more promising, I still like playing at 888 more.

my $100 per tournament
My biggest win was an $888 ticket with which I failed to finish ITM.
My biggest actual win was $460 for 1st place in a $2000 freeroll. It took 8 hours though.

my $100 per tournament
I won $260 in a tournament at 888. The buy-in was $22. But I didn't pay the buy-in because I won this ticket in the freeroll. 888 is a great site that allows you to make money with absolutely no investment.

I don't remember much, but I think my best win in a tournament was at 888poker, I had won a $109 ticket for free, when I played the tournament I got $550 and got a bubble for the final table, I think it was my best cash
