That is so cool that you like hookers.

im in the UK and 200k is 100k or a little less in english pounds, we dont pay taxes on gambling winnings so I would get it all.

It really isnt that much althou I would deff not turn my nose up at it.

At our current property prices I couldn't even buy a decent 1 bedroom flat/apartment for that so property is off my to buy list.

I read somewhere (dunno where and dunno if it right) but the top MTT'ers have roughly 10k-15k online so maybe keep that and take the rest off.

Hookers and blow sound good but again they twice as expensive in england so maybe a trip to amsterdam would be on the cards (see what i did there lol).

If a low limit donk like me got lucky enough to go throu 7000+ players in the sunday million then a shot at the WSOP has gotta happen.

lots of good responses so far.

now after giving it more thought i would do this with the 120k (after taxes):

15k online bankroll
10k live bankroll
60k: bank/invest
20k: home improvement
15k: travel

I think it all depends on the stakes you want to play at/you feel you can win at. I'd leave enough in my roll to be properly rolled for whatever stakes I wanted to play (and thought i could be a winning player at) and take the rest into my personal $$$

If someone really won 200k from the Sunday Million, they would have to have won and not taken a deal at the final table (Unless its one the bigger quaterly $530 or $1050 tourneys). If people were willing to gamble so much without a deal, I have a hard time believing that they wouldnt keep a good amount for their online or live roll.

Im not sure what I would do. I dont think a lot of other people would really know what they would do until it happens. Its easy to say you should invest it and make good use of it....but if you just get a bunch of found money, its a lot easier to blow than money you earn. Sort of how you hear stories of lottery winners going broke after a few years.
