Poll: Biggest Bankroll Boost from one tournament
 

I just saw a post about someone who 10x'ed their roll from one tournament, and this go me thinking, what is the biggest win you have had as a % of your bankroll. Freerolls from when you had a 0 bankroll do not count.

How do you define bankroll?

When I got 3rd in the Paradise masters for ~110k I only had around 50k in available poker money.

I don't know if I would really call that a 200% increase in my bankroll though since I have/had lots of my poker winnings invested in other things.

Bankroll = the amount of money you could lose from poker.

So if you have 5k online, but 95k that you can put back online 100k, if you have 100k online, but would quit poker for good because of a 5k downswing, 5k.

Who is the 1500%+?

I don't remember exactly what my bankroll was before winning the EPT Deauville for $180K but it was somewhere around $2-5K. So, I guess that qualifies for 1500%+. Obv, Steve qualifies for this too, right?

So, basically, I'm super special. I won the seat with FPPs and it really changed my life. God bless luck and variance.

down to $84 and ecpecting busto, and then won a $8,300.

I think that's about 9800%


This was immediately followed by two huge unexpected bills, so had to cash most of it [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Was that like $84 on one site, or $84 as your whole roll for playing poker?
