I have never played any game above $50 buy-in.
I played $55 and placed via satellite. I got about $148, and it was so long ago that I don't remember how much I invested. I was happy with the earnings.

I played a $3.30 rebuy MTT at the time. 6th place, the same tournament a week later and 6th place again were 2k $ and another 1.65k $. Then directly made a $1k buy-in , gets AA in the 2nd or 3rd hand, I raise - someone else raises, preflop on all-in and call. I AA, the other one had KK. Preflop all in- river = K < - This is probably my highest buy-in and loss within 5 minutes. Info, I've played 2 million hands on pokerstars so far. I made a good profit overall, but the fact is that at Pokerstars I always lose 70% with AA, KK is 90% and AA almost always auto-lose. From then on the 1st hand to today on the hand 2 million, aces have almost always cost me the tournaments, because everyone with trash hands hits aces at the end. Well, the main thing is that KK lasts more often than AA, mathematically, in principle, completely illogical. Hmm

My biggest buy-in was $1,100 at a casino poker tournament. Unfortunately, I did not reach the prizes in this tournament. I dropped out of the tournament with a QQ hand against my opponent's hand 22. He was given a set. It was very disappointing, but I played wrong myself.

I played heads-up poker at 888Poker with a buyin of $50. I won two in a row then lost again and stopped short of losing the initial $50. It was crazy. I'm itching to do it again.

I took part in a $ 109 buy-in tournament. It was the PokerStars anniversary tournament, but unfortunately my results were disappointing.

The maximum he played was $215 per ticket. I won a lot since the tournament was KO and I paid you $50 per elimination. But I try to play $5, $7, $10 and $16 tournaments.

10$ and I lost. I dont know how well the upper level players playing, but sometimes its an illusion. If you play on lower level, you can beat only the lower players, but you have to play higher, to beat the higher level players. Their mind works differently.

My highest was $280 at a live tournament, way out of my usual range, and I lost.
