What is the biggest stakes you have every played?

Be it a cash game or tournament buy in. Did the stakes effect you?

For me the highest cash I have played is a short session of $5/$10 after a nice tournament win.

I have also played a couple of $1k heads up SNG. Which I won

I've played $10-20 as my highest cash table but it's been a long time. Bought into a few $1500 events, took 14th once for a good payday. Biggest single cash was a 60k win in a $1,000 event a couple years ago...

Not that high. The highest micro stakes are where I draw the line. I never have had a huge bankroll. One day when my daughter is grown up, I might try higher stakes.

The highest for me online was the 6th step of the venom:0) even though I was nervous it didn't effect the way I played, just didn't hit my cards and went out pretty fast:0) Good luck out there

The most cash I've put up for a tournaments is $600 although I've played in two $10,000 buy-in tournaments that I won my way into through satellites. The first one I was out on the first day. The second one I lasted 3 days and got knocked out 20 places out of the money. I was short stacked the whole tournament. Do the high stakes affect my game? I don't think so but sometimes when I can't afford to lose, yeah maybe.

I only like to play MTT but i won a seat to 750k guaranteed on FTP was like a 215$ buy in so i guess that would be the highest buy in i played. I remember how i lost to... had QQ utg+1 ITM and got into a big pot against button i had flopped a set and bet huge on flop and turn but flush and straight stuff happen on river and i checked and got jammed on... I went into the tank and wanted to call but opted to fold as the time bank ran out and he showed the bluff... ouch =[ was a 300k pot. that was like 10 years ago and i still remember lol. I think if it wasn't the 750k i would have called, but i played 1$-5$ most of the time so it was a lot of pressure being deep in that spot

There used to be a local 10/20 limit hold'em game that played wide open that I sat in a few times. It was bigger than the 1/2 NLH games I've played in. Most folks bought in for 1-2k and the average pot was in the >$100 with big pots well over $300.

omg , some of you are very good and play really very high stakes , really awesome :) gl to your games .

I am not good to tell the truth , so I have played 2-5 cents cash 9 max zoom that I liked with a cap strategy , sessions were profitably moderately satisfying overall , but not enough to level up (lost very soon once that I tried 5-10 cents ). Now these zoom stakes are dead/finished on PS ( still don't know how this happened ) ---6max zoom I suck . We will see in the future if I am going to play on reg tables 9max these or higher stakes --I have to study a lot more :) .

Tournaments I prefer low micros , for the same reason : until I become far better (0.55$ , or 1.1$/similar low buyin tours only if I am lucky via sat , 1$ 8max I discovered at ACR where my bankroll is better , I am going to start playing it now to see how it goes :)) ------ ( I have tried higher buyins , like the 11$sunday storm or a 22$ but it was a complete failure) .

Sngs 1$ high in the past at 888poker , more than satisfying . I want to start playing them again at 888poker sometimes or more frequently ,via steps or directly , maybe also grind the 0.55$ on demand on ACR to see if I will be better and luckier this time than in the past (and with less crazy shoves/calls destroying my stack :) )

1/2$ online mostly and it was to gain back some huge loss so most of the time it was on tilt. It went well most of the times except 2 heart attack all-ins:

AK (me) < TT (-200$)
TT (me) < AK (-200$)

I remember I was at my brother's house and he went to the convenience store to buy some thing fast...

When he got back, he asked me how come I was that pale... Never told him, but damn I felt bad. Never went back to those limit.

2/5 no limit with a $500 buy in. But they don't have those games very often in the middle of the Canadian prairies. You'd have to be lucky to find that game at your local casino

Would like to play 2/5 live cash as I've only been online apart from the odd live game which generally play bigger due to straddles etc but need 1000 at least for these games

You should find a 1/2 or 2/4 250/500 spread game you'll have more fun and get more for your buy-in.
