Okay. Now let me hear about the biggest pots you have won.

Well, I lost a $1700 pot at 15-30. 750 was in pre-flop. This happened at the Bellagio about 3 years ago.

Re: Biggest Pot Won At A Level

I won a $966 pot (32.2 big bets) at $15/$30 with J9dd. Yes, that is now my favorite hand.

Flop Td8cXc, and beautiful Qd on the turn giving me the nut straight and a flush draw... and I was screaming at my monitor, "NO CLUUUUUUUUUUUUB!" as the river turned as FIVE people were going to see the river. No club or diamond hit and I was good.

(commentary: either an honest mistake or a bad read. I thought pairing anything would be good here, turns out neither was. The sort of hands that had been holding up to more action than this made my assumption reasonable)

Re: Biggest Pot Won At A Level

Re: Biggest Pot Won At A Level

I scooped a pot that was around $3100 in a $30/60 stud/8 game. I had (45)6544(X) and the two guys who were jamming their flushes thought I was on a low. I miss those guys.

Largest pot I've ever seen in terms of BB was in a $4/8 stud/8 game. It was capped on all streets, with five players seeing fifth, four seeing the river, and three in for the seventh street cap. That's around $640, not counting the antes and bring-in, which get dropped anyway. My contribution was $.50. Trips and a Seven-low chopped it.

Either that or the time that two players in a high-only $4/8 game agreed to go all-in for about $300 in what was already a fairly large pot. Aces-full beat Kings-full, and the guy with Kings-full thought that he'd won the jackpot. The guy with Aces-full didn't even qualify.

Re: Biggest Pot Won At A Level

What, pray, is the nut straight on that board?

Re: Biggest Pot Won At A Level

Playing 3/6 NLHE, my 777AA beat someone's AAQQ. Pot = $530, 88.3 BB.

But my favorite thus far was in 3/6 Stud, Chicago Hi (mixing it up at the home game) Total pot $189, 31.5 BB. Not to bad in a little 6 handed game.

This may sound like a dream or somehting, but.... My first 4 cards were KKKK, with the K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] down. I check raised the first two rounds, laughing at the cocky punk kid across the table, there were 4 in on the deal, and 3 on 4th St. We capped the rest of the way, with just the two of us in. The funny part is that on 4th St, he only had a pair of sixes, but he wound up with sixes full.

275BB at $2-$4 NL = $1100 SWEEEET!
