This is probably the most pointless post next to bad beats but I want to hear some of the cool things people have bought with their poker winnings (cars, house, whatever) Feel free to brag or even lie.

Rent, electricity, and food. I bought a 400 dollar cell phone a while ago. Nothing special. My roomate, a cash game player who makes about 5 times as much as me, once bought a 3 year old video game for like 10 bucks. He said he was treating himself.

One hell of a choice between the E90 330 (love 'em) and the M3. That said, M3 all the way. Oh, get the competition package in Interlagos blue. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

By the way, what buyin do you play at to be able to afford this sort of thing? $109s or above yeah?

It wasn't an expensive one... Cheap entry fee + bus fair + spending money. I stayed overnight at my friends apartment making it a lot cheaper.

Just cashed out some of my BR to fund the trip to Vegas next week. Guaranteed to be the best use of dollars and the coolest thing I've ever "purchased".

After that, I hope to buy a cool avatar.....

I also am going to buy either a BMW M3 coupe or an Audi TT coupe in about a month. I need to go testdrive both of them to decide which I want.

I'm going to put in my two cents. The TT doesnt even compare to the M3, but I'm a biased BMW fan.

I actually JUST bought an Audi TT coupe last week with poker money. I love it. It's the 250HP one. It's really awesome. I was going to buy a beemer, but went with the audi cuz I live in Buffalo, and it has AWD.

Here's some pics /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Actually, I forgot that I did buy something really nice from poker. I broke the bankroll on a trip to Cancun this past Spring Break. It was great, but it's a big reason why I'm still slummin'. I still highly recommend it, or something similar, at least once a year.

And DSG is the hooootness. Sure beats the hell outta BMW's SMG II (yet to be seen if it'll hang with SMG III though /images/graemlins/wink.gif).
