All,

I played in the 25FPP Aston Martin Freeroll last week. It was a turbo and when we got down to the final 10 players, the blinds were at $30,000 + $60,000 with the antes at $3,000.

I am certain that these are the biggest blinds I have ever encountered during my time on Stars.

Anyone experienced any bigger

Played at 60,000/120,000 fairly often. Which is the blind plateau at Party.

Speed rebuy carnage. A variation of the national lottery.

They never did raise the plateau (one of the several things introduced to reduce stalling), so.... after several hours of completely donking it up, with about 20-30 people left you actually started to play poker again as your stacks could cope with the blinds again.

I'm not of a tournament player so the biggest blinds I've played with is $5/10, it was one of those cash game things. :)

I think 10,000 / 20,000 with 5,000 antes was the highest I've ever done. It's pretty weird to think of the BB+ante as 16 buy-ins.

Blinds went up to about $250,000/500,000 in the wsop this year I think.

Biggest cash game ever was $100,000/200,000 heads-up limit hold'em played at the Bellagio in 2004 between Texas billionaire Andy Beal and a bunch of pros.
