Mine was a $215 at pokerstars but it was 2 or 3 years ago and I wasn't at the level I am now. Now I feel in a position to play big tournaments. I hope to play one again soon.

Two or three years ago, I won a $ 250 ticket. It was my most expensive tournament. But in fact, I've never played tournaments with a buy-in of more than $ 11.

Once I won a ticket worth 100€, but my biggest buy-in in cash is 25€. Not much.

My biggest tournament was a 40 $ WCOOP event a few years ago. It was fun but since then I just played small tournaments.

I accidentally spent a dollar on a tournament last week, I thought I was signing up for a freeroll and was on autopilot pilot [emoji23]

Didn't win it [emoji1787]

So far, my biggest buy-in has been $ 120. But I won this ticket in the satellite. Usually my average buy-in is $ 2-5.

My biggest live game is like $150 (or maybe I should say $300 if I count the gal's entry, lol), I think it was a $30k GTD but neither of us cashed despite it being a 100% overlay at a local casino (I have no idea what they were thinking...) both of us got nailed with AA All In Pre-flop...within the first hour or so of the game. Very Sick!

As for online...hmmm.. I think my biggest is like $11... maybe played a bit bigger one when staked, but not that much bigger. Maybe I will graduate to bigger games eventually, but I know there are much better players out there and I tend to be ULTRA CONSERVATIVE with my online play. I play recreationally and primarily for fun, but I do like to be competitive!

The gal on the other hand has played 2 of the last 3 Venom's... want to say those are $2,650 at ACR? Both of those tickets she won as Freebies.... Thankfully...LOL!

I do have a couple freebie $33 tickets sitting at ACR... been there for a few months with a twelve month expiration... I guess I have to "Grow Some You Know Whats" and play them eventually, lol!

Good Luck All On The Felts,

CheezeWiz

I won a seat to the 2006 wsop $10K Main Event for just $2 on a poker site that no longer exists.. Just lasted until the last level of Day 1, but had a great experience. I definitely recommend playing it once in your lifetime!

The biggest buy-in I've ever played was the $11 Pokerstars tournament.

I won once a $250 ticket and have great luck so I finished at paid place. However it wasn't comfortable: i felt nervous and think made a lot of mistakes. Regulary I play NL10-25.

my highest buy in was $215 and it's been some time since I played it. I had won a ticket in a satellite for 1.10 I didn't get very far in the tournament but at least it was around $500 or more I don't remember exactly how much it was. It was my first time playing this expensive and I enjoyed it

525$ buy in on Partypoker (something like Sunday million on PS nowadays, only it was monthly tournament) many years ago. Didn't use direct buy in tho (won 55$ qualifier).
If we talking bout direct buy in, 215$ Sunday million then.

My biggest buy-in in cash is 10 euros. In addition, I once won a 50€ MTT ticket so that would be my actual biggest ”buy-in” if tickets won from other tournaments are also counted.

Unfortunately I have eliminated shortly before moving to day 2, of course, with AA against K10...
