Hi guys just gonna ask quickly,

What is the best feeling in poker youve ever experianced?

Mine would have to be at the end of a bad run and looking up to see the BR creeping back in the right direction. Although i have to thank alot of people for advice with BR management for that, its just a great sence of relief and pride.

    First time I won a live tournament.

    Also coming 21st at the SPT in Glasgow... My first every live tournament,  I didn't just blind out to 21st I was fighting all the way with a decent stack, when I went out I had read the guys hand knew I was ahead and he hit the card he needed on the turn to beat me.  Even though i was out I was really proud of the way I played that event.

    Great thread 

    Look forward to reading the posts

     It would be easy to say winning my first MTT but the best feeling I had is when a good and well respected player called me a nuisance and meant it as a compliment!

    Mmmmm it was the best and worst thing at the same time for me.

    I qualified for an event from another site for the "WPT Celebrity Invitational" in Los Angeles in February this year.

    It was a weird tournament as it was invitational so there was no buy-in although there was one $200 re-buy allowed per person.

    It was a $200,000 prize pool but only the top SIX got paid!!

    Loads of pros there, Matusow, Esfandiari, Laak, Bloch and loads of others. Along with celebrities!

    So it was quite bizarre playing.

    Anyhow it was a two day event.

    I did my first stack in getting it all in on flop against some pro who I hadn't heard of on a Q high board with KQ against his AK and he spiked an A on turn.

    So did the $200 rebuy, Managed to get myself just above average stack going in to day 2 with 160 left out of the 600 who started.

    Anyhow day two comes and I'm constantly watching the screen and seeing the numbers dwindle and setting myself targets.

    Right lets make the last 100, done. Last 75. Done. Last 50. Done. Last 30 Done. Last 20 done.

    And then it's oh my! I'm down to the last two tables and the winner is getting $100,000!!

    The TV cameras were there at this point which really set the nerves going a bit. I had Rikki Lake on my table who stole my blind the cow!

    Anyhow I ended up going out in 13th place and getting nothing for it.

    Was still quite proud but devastated at the same time...

    ok...mines a little odd!
    Just before i moved over to skypoker I was on a diff site and there was this horrid lad threatening me and stalking me across every game :(
    I decided to go into a cash game (which I never play!) to try to get away from him without having to stop playing but alas he sat down next to me and shoved all in everyhand whilst taunting me in the chatbox....
    The site in question allowed the behaviour to continue and I was getting really upset with the whole thing....anyway I was in a hand and had hit the flop and the lad shoves all in but I was ready to fold as I couldnt think straight....my hubby turns to me and shouts "call him! if you loose I'll give you the money back myself!" so I did and he lost! lol
    He left the table and came back a week later appologising.....long story short I ignored him and moved over here with you lot!

    so...the next good part for me was the fantastic feeling when you all welcomed me and made me feel at home on the forum and at the tables xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    lol. Bam.

    Winning 1st mtt was good.

    Best feeling ever is slow playing a maniac that's been bullying you though. Absolutely nothing sweeter.

    My first ever live poker experience. 

    SPT Luton with Lisa-Marie, Tikay, Rich, Trevor and meeting many of the players I play with most nights of the week.  A great first live experience.

    (I'd like to point out I made no joke about feeling and Lisa-Marie, or Kitty)
