$ 315 is my biggest buy-in.
And several times I also participated in tournaments, with a buy-in of $ 215. But in fact I won a ticket or a place in the tournament playing in satellites.

$10,000 in two WPT events at Foxwoods. I didn't put up the money either time. I won my way in though satellites. The most cash buy-in has been $600.

$1000 for WSOP Seniors Championship in 2018. Lasted most of Day 1 then got rivered on a straight draw. It was on my bucket list to play at the WSOP in Vegas, great experience.

I played in the 2006 WSOP $10K Main Event, for only $2... Satellited my way in. Lost at the end of Day 1, but had a blast! Hope I can play it again in my lifetime!!

Wow that’s an epic satellite in—well done!

I was staled to play a $25k WPT tournament once, which got off to a good start but unfortunately didn’t pan out in the end on day 2.

It was a hyper HU of $ 60 which ended up winning (by the way this modality is my favorite, you should only beat one player instead of hundreds) :)

$120 or so for a circuit event (I forget which circuit but it wasn't as big as WSOP) that I drove quite a ways for. It...didn't go that well but I wanted to take part in something like that.

Back in my early days when I didn't know anything, I would routinely play in $115 live tournaments. Cashed 2nd once for $750. '

I didn't track BR back then but I'm betting I lost 6-7 grand or so before I stopped playing.

It's only in the last 2 years I picked up poker again, with a much better discipline and understanding of the game. I wouldn't dare enter a $115 with my current BR.

Well... maybe if it was my birthday :)

Wow that's impressive! Hypers are so much fun-- I think I've only played a couple of HU hyper tournaments but they're such an exciting format :)

$10k WSOP Main Event, every year :)

This will be the first year I don't get to play the live event :(

But at least the online series from GG gives me a nice opportunity to still be in the action! :icon_flow
