I think My biggest poker lost it was on cash games I had won and work hard around $100 on my PS account and I got kind of big thoughts on my mind like common I can play a NL10 and win at least $2 daily and end up losing $60, I was never able to recover from that funny thing is that I lost my first $10 and my mind like common it was bad luck you can win it this time until the sixth time I finally realized I was playing very bad and tilted. Thanks God I got over it and kept playing my tourneys for fun and learn the lesson that to play a bigger level need the comfort of the bankroll and a good solid strategy otherwise I should better play the lotto :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

When I was a young lad during the online poker boom, I made an account on party poker and started to grind STT's. It was like 60/30/10 payout and I placed consistently in the top three 75-80% of the time.

Anyways the system was working so well at the time, crushing the small levels of $10+$1 up to $50+$5 tourneys that soon my small initial deposit was up over a grand.

I decided to swing hard and enter the $200+$40 where I had three instant back to back fails. THAT was an early and big lesson for me.

Yes, I had that too. You always think, now I will start faster and win big. Until you drain your entire bankroll

Yes, everyone moves to higher stakes dreaming of winning more. But when you're on your own, you feel more confident

I didn’t have big losses, which hit my pocket or family budget. I always stop when I minus. I take a break, 1-2 days. And with new inspiration I sit down at the table.

Once upon a time, for 5 hours at $ 50 in a one-on-one game against one opponent, I lost $ 1,200. There were wins and losses. Part of the funds went to pay for the poker room. As a result, I was shocked. I don't know what kind of strange state came over me. Because he played very badly.

When I played quite uncontrolled a few years ago, it happened that I played 4 X 50$ tables at the same time and lost the 50$ immediately if I went all in. I don't know why but at the other tables it went better so that I compensated the loss again. But the stress with these tables was too much for me and I realized that I am far from ready to play at this blind level.

there was a little more than $900 in the account, I decided to round them up to $1000 and withdraw, but the classics of the genre intervened, after a few hours it was already $200, but after a break, I raised it to $700, played only sit and go super turbo , no tournaments or cash games

A long time ago, I lost $100 at cash tables. After that, I never took more than $2 into the game. Except for $100 tickets won in freerolls, this is all my big losses.

Poker is not cinematic fortune, bluff and charisma. Of course, you can get lucky and hit the jackpot, but over a long distance, not the one who is lucky wins, but the one who knows how to count. If you decide to make money on poker, you need to responsibly approach the organization of the process. This means that there should be a schedule for work, rest, nutrition and sports. In no case should you play sick, sleepy, and even more so drunk. All this leads to a loss of concentration and a more likely loss. It's easy to lose huge amounts in this state. The biggest I've lost is $22 playing in a tournament.

I cannot remember the exact figures, but i build up a solid bankroll of about $1.5k in a year. I decided i was ready to move up limits, With-in 2 days, i was left with under $100. It was a very good lesson, sometimes you need to lose to learn.

I've been losing a little over $700, so it's a shatter. I saved up for a car, and now I'm on foot.

At once? When Lock Poker didn't send me the $300 I withdrew.
It was a long time ago.

I have not had big losses, maybe in my beginnings when I played a tournament of 55 dollars and my bank was 60 dollars, maybe when I was on tilt in my beginnings I played a lot of doubles or nothing of 10 dollars, but really they are small losses, my vice sports betting there I have big losses:cry::cry:(n):confused::p ,,, in poker it was only at the beginning and I managed to have control of my bank and never play out of bank

No or lets say bad bankroll managment greates situations e.g where me playing 5/10 cash tables with my winnings of 30k bankroll and losing it all , which means im really a broke with no money because sevens hits a set on the flop against my pocket aa, or was it even pre flop all in but anyways, more then actually hand where it happends, it always happend, greating lots of big swings (y)

So i guess most of my winnigs are my biggest loses, but this way, poker gives me what i want, -an emotional experience,- what is much different what comes from looking data of your bad run, then when it comes from that one suck out what really make it or brake it:)

I didn't lose a large amount of money because I don't play at large limits I probably lost $109 is the biggest amount I can play sometimes when I'm in a good mood or if I go through satellites
