I was at a .25/.50 UB table last night full of textbook maniacs and some guy took down 37BB ($18.50) with a runner runner flush!

Before that, the most I'd seen was like 24BB, with the possible exception of things I might have seen way back on the .01/.01 tables (which don't really count, IMO).

53.6 BB at 0.05/0.10, so not your typical game

This one ended up flush over flush over flush. I especially love UTG+1 calling all the way to showdown.

Yup, fixed. Sounds fun in theory, doesn't it? Only I got outdrawn so many goddamned times that it took me like 5 hours of play just to climb back up to my original buy-in /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

you may not believe this one but i swear its true

in the 'old days' of pacific poker
2/4 final pot $275 (68 BB!!).
PF capped with (8?)-32 SB
flop (i flopped quad 4s!! /images/graemlins/smile.gif )
capped again (maybe 28SB) pot now like 60SB or 30 BB
tons of action on turn and river
cursing galore when 4444 was shown!!

The biggest pot in my PT database is 41.75 BB at .5/1.

The largest I've ever personally taken down is 36 BB (only the 5th largest in my database).

Here's the one I won (shameless boasting):

Last night at the 2+2 table I took down a monster with quad 5s, but I don't have the HH...lost Pt D-base. I think it was 50-60BB. Somebody post it if they have it handy.

I think these are the two biggest pots I've won (each with one pair oddly enough)

There wasn't a lot of action on this one, just a lot of callers. Note the inexplicable river raise with second pair.

the largest I have seen was I think around 50 BB or

more,playing live 2/4, there is no cap on the river, so

these 2 guys that were argueing earlier would't stop

raising the river until one of the guys was almost all in.

One guy flipped over fullhouse queens, the other had

fullhouse fives. /images/graemlins/laugh.gif
