Hello!
I rarely play high buy-ins.
The most expensive tournament I've played in was the Sunday Million $109. I finished 4328 out of 10507 players. Didn't win anything, played very weakly because of the high buy-in for me)

$ 55, played a couple of times, but the results are bad, because deep stacks or blinds for 12 min. they make me mad, I can't sit for many hours and wait, especially for slow-playing players who think about each hand for hours:)

For me it's also the Sunday Million on PS but I never paid for the regular buy-in but qualified via Tickets/satellite.

I min-cashed with bounties when I played.

I was staked for a $2,500 live event back in 2011, which I did not cash in (AA lost to QQ, AIPF). I think I lost in roughly 90th place.


My name isn't listed on the results, I just thought the link would be cool to show.

I was playing well too! I ran the AA hand through my head so many times, mostly just, "MAN! If I just hold there and triple up (it was a 3 way allin), I would have had such a good chance at least of cashing!"

Online, I played a $1,000 event before for a friend who couldn't play (I min cashed!), and a few $109 events. ;)

One of my goals moving forward is to play $55s and $109s regularly, perhaps your thread has given me some motivation to start taking my shots. ;)

Thanks!

My most expensive tournaments were this month 109$ WCOOP main event (didn't got anything there, but won another entry straight away from 5.50$ satellite) and 109$ Sunday Fenomeno Special last Sunday, entry to which I got playing two satellites one by one at the same evening. I won 187.58$ in prize money.
The full story of it can be seen here beginning from this post https://www.cardschat.com/forum/pok...d-wins-46/three-challenge-512849/post-6513472
and all the way down .

109, 55, 27.50 bounty I was second in 109 and 27.50 seconds too, but I already scored 55, but I haven't been playing the expensive ones for a while, that was when I only played, today I game on average 2.20 to 11 dollar the buyin.

The most expensive tournament I've ever played in, uhhh....... let me think, it was a $33.00 Ps turbo tournament, the damn tournament was in the middle of the freerolls and I didn't see it (I think I'm going blind), I ended up hitting the register button and didn't notice.
The worst part of the story is that my BR at the time was $34.53, in short I ended up leaving with nothing, but at least I had $1.53 worth of BR.:ROFLMAO:

$215 was the most expensive tournament I played. It was on PS with 500K guaranteed. I chiped up early and stayed in the 1st ten for more than 5 hours only to get knocked out by the only player who had me covered at the table. I made a huge mistake by not raising UTG with AA, he was on the BB with 72, flopped 2 pair and turned a boat (Flop : 7-2-Q, turn : 2), 18 or 19 players to the money. That was the last time I didn't raise with AA.

My most expensive tournament was $109, but I won this ticket in a satellite. In general, I try not to invest my own funds in the game and play only with the money I managed to win in freerolls.

I played the most expensive one on the PS with a $265 buy-in - there was such a format before 200-50-15, and 50 - these were constant bounties for knocking out, but they did not grow

Two notable events happened in my poker life. Live Ticket at 888poker Live Madrid 2020 -$1600.
In online poker there was a $320 ticket game at 888. The ticket was won at 1¢ through two satellites. And the best part is that I got into the prizes and won $675. In general, he played for more than 12 hours.

there are good satellites for partypoker and 888, passing through these satellites you can increase your bankroll quite well
