If you won $500*[Your Usual Buyin].00, What would you do?
Just interested. Eg, a 5/10 NL player wins half a million dollars.

Personally, I'd stay at the same limit. I deposited $50 when I began and swore that was the only money I'd ever deposit to play poker. I'm at $25nl now and that's the extreme limit of my skill right now.
But it's an interesting question. I voted I wouldn't have a break either, because I don't play for the immediate money I make, I play to become good. |

How did I win it [/ QUOTE ] Lottery, inheritance, found it in the street one day. A non-poker reason. |

Say you usually play $.5-1 or lower and win something like 5k in a tourney? Would you use that to move up in your ring game despite not wining it there? |

Answer will be much different based on limits. If you play 25 NL then you just got an instant bankroll. I play 2000 NL so I would think of it more as instant retirement.

I'd buy a house and pay off school debts.

Re: If you won $500*[Your Usual Buyin].00, What would you do?
(In my case, it would be either $25K or $50K.)
Pay off debts, which would wipe out the $25K, and leave little enough of the $50K that I would just put it in savings. That, and maybe transfer you another Tree-Fiddy. |
