So you have won $150k – what’s next
Hypothetical
So you’re a recreational player and you have just taken down a tournament and won $150k.
What do you do next?
1. Do you bank the money and give up poker
2. Do you enter much bigger buy in tournaments
3. Do you start playing $250/500 cash
4. Do you just continue playing $200/$500 tournaments

U book yourself and the family a nice holiday, turn up for work the next day, and continue playing the same level comps/cash.
With the odd larger comp that you've always wanted to play.

It's amazing how many recreational players do actually bank their money (pay off their mortgage and have a few nice holidays) and continue to play poker at the same level. I think this is generally weighted towards the recreational players that are decent though. The ones that are woeful are usually deluded and pump all their money back into the system and then more.

Better hookers
Come on, do we have to go down the stereotype that poker players get with hookers? |

Pay some off the mortgage carry on, holiday or car upgrade, carry on as you were. Certainly wouldn't step up too far if I am normally struggling to beat the level I am at. There certainly is nothing wrong with doing something like play the main event of that was an ambition, just don't do it 10x.
Given my experience, downswings always follow big wins, so definitely don't pay too much off the mortgage. Some players can pay off more than others obv.

Most of the bets placed so far seem more like hopeful punts rather than value spots

I'm 57. I have no debt, nor do I have a pension or a regular income. What would you suggest I do with a £150k win?
