Live...worst loss was a £1,500 buy in

Online...wouldn't even consider playing high stakes . Only mugs play online HS's unless it's a private room.

Haha, $8 with a $20k gtd., cashed in like $20 something, didn't get many chances, I think I played about 10 hands all tournament, would've lost most of the other hands, really bad run . And actually I played a $10 satellite sng, 1 table, 8 seats, first 4 getting a $150 ticket. Won that, but dad was in poor shape at the time and couldn't play my ticket (2-day mtt, $1m gtd), took me a while to get over it, but people come first.

1-2$ NL200. It was only one session and it was pure gambling on my part, since at that moment my bankroll was a little more than a thousand and fortunately I remained in the black about $600, but I never did that again)))

5/10€ PLO
Only 2 times..First one was great ..from 1000€ to 8000€
Second time I waisted 3 bullets in the table...
Loss 3000€
After that came to the conclusion that I was too confident after the first session.
You need an incredible amount of discipline for managing high wins if you're not used to them

I don't play cash all that often so when I do, the stakes are low.
For tourneys, I often play sattelites so sometimes get into a tourneywhich is well above my investment.
I suppose a $1000 game (or thereabouts) is the highest stakes. I din't win much. In another instance, I won a sattie into a $109 entry tourney and won just under $1000.
Generally though, I have a small bankroll, so do not play highstakes

Once I played at NL100, although I usually play at NL10 limits. It was my birthday that day and I decided that it would be my little present, I played for a short time and won $30, it's not much but it's good that I didn't lose. And my most expensive tournament was the Sunday Million at pokerstars with a $109 buy-in, but unfortunately I was eliminated after half an hour of play.

NL200$. I played with only one BI and I've lost all of it after a couple of hands. The variance is part of the game.

I only play online, highest stake 50NL. I sat down by accident when I saw a fish there, I quickly.spotted my mistake but played anyway and was pleased to find 2 other fish at the table, won about $40 before the fish left. I normally play 25NL so wasnt too much of a jump and plan to move up before too long

I recently played in a $109 poker tournament and I'm thrilled to say that I came out on top! After several hours of intense play and strategic moves, I managed to outlast all of my opponents and take home the grand prize of $270.
It was a tough competition, and there were moments where I thought I might be out of the running, but I stuck to my game plan and kept my focus. I made some great calls and even bluffed my way to a few key wins.
In the end, all of my hard work paid off, and I'm grateful for the experience and the generous payout. It just goes to show that with the right strategy and a little bit of luck, anything is possible in the world of poker.
