Whats the Biggest Pot you've ...

Tourneque

Just out of curiousity, what's the biggest pot any of you have won relative to the blinds ?

I just won a $110 pot playing 0.15/0.25 PLO ... 440xBB ... seems a bit crazy or maybe I just haven't been playing enough Omaha ?

Best bit is I don't even have to concentrate hard at those stakes as nobody notices that you've been folded for 30mins while surfing

I won't bother posting the actual hand as Top Set on the flop and quads on the turn isn't very hard to play

Have taken down pots of 600+ in the fitz omaha cash game a number of times, blinds 1/1, biggest for myself around €850 as far as i recall. But thats chicken feed to some of the pots in there. (I was rivered out of a €1400 pot in the same game, but we wont go there!) Saw a €19,000 pot in the big game at 8pm before the omaha tourney during the festival a couple of months ago, thats 3800xBB :eek:

I won a pot of around 300$ on a .5/1 NL Hold'em game once. I regularly see and have won/lost 200$ pots in that game.

Won a pot of around 120$ last night too, playing at .25/.5 when an idiot thought my raises meant nothing and he went all-in with 66 on a 5, 8, T board.

I've had some varying pots - online most was about $1300 (3/6), have had a few over $1000. In the fitz I had one pot of €1100 - i had the nuts and this guy went all-in before me - happy days

The biggest I've won in relation to the blinds was on the .10/.20 NL Holdem on VC when I won a pot of over $180 (over 900BBs) think I posted it on here at some point

Those ones always make me pause and check that I actually do have the nuts.

won about 1,600 in one hand in the fitz cash game a good while back. it was about six in the morning, us remaining players had about 200-300 each and we all just kinda decided that we'd all go all in pre-flop on the last hand. won the lot with a pair of kings in a seven-way omaha showdown.

I heard about that hand... thought it was just an urban legend! What are the odds on a pair of kings winning a seven-player all-in omaha hand?

Did you all hate money or something? 'Get thee hence, foul root of evil!'

i may have had a few drinks on me - had just won (split three-way) the omaha-holdem tournament that night then went out for a major celebration then came back in. not the most advisable of poker-playing strategies!

About 7.5% based on a random sample of hands I have picked, not like many in there actually have any regard for their holding preflop. Mick Hoey would be holding the last hand.

Yeah, but what surprised me about the hand was that there was no flush, no straight, no set, not even 2-pair.... a pair of kings was the best hand! Thats the story I heard anyway; is this true?

I should start ranting but I am in a zen place preparing for my tournie tomorrow, where I shall win one of two tickets for the WSOP.

The most I've ever lost was last Friday. Half my poker stack for the month. The most I've ever won was an ipod from O'Briens sandwich shop two months ago. And a charity ticket from the freeroll for dealing the final table.

That and a WSOP ticket, Thurs 9th June.

Ken, u ever win or lose, or are you too bashful...?

I won 780xbb once in a huge Omaha hand.
I dont lose much in one go as I rarely reenter a table once I've lost 150 at it.
