What's the best item/toy you've been able to buy because of poker that you wouldn't of been able to buy otherwise? And don't say entries into a large tournament... well I guess you can

Well ive made enough to buy a brand new car but adrenaline is far more important to me so I continue to drive a piece of shit and buy nice toys. And the only reason I started any of this was because the money I got from poker I considered free money so started doing everything I always wanted to. There isnt a single thing on this list I would have without poker. | |

i bought a dell 6000 for 1000 bucks (only thing i've gotten with poker winnings). there was an amazing coupon, it was for like 750 off a 1500 dollar laptop.... there were 10000 uses. I saw it online, figured hey wow this coupon is great i will use it.... I got on 1 hour after the coupon went active, and it was already used up. apparently this coupon comes out twice a year and is a big deal... so i ended up paying 200 bucks more. no big deal, but really frustrating! | |

I made a huge mistake of turning $80 into ~1200 grinding it out at .1/.2 NL20 and then cashing out 800 to pay rent / live (have now finished uni) this left me with ~350 to have to start grinding aaaall over again! Now Im applying for jobs so I can keep my BR as my BR so I can hopefully progress thru the stakes. | |
