There are lots of threads about bad beats and big wins. I was just wondering what the biggest cash table pot you have lost is. I never venture outside a $50 cash table buy-in so I've never lost more than about $70 or so. But I do know that some people here do venture to some higher limits. Obviously tournaments don't count, I'm talking strictly cash games. It can be online, at a casino, or at a home game, makes no difference to me.
I would cry if I lost over 50$ in a single pot.
In one pot online,I once hit a strgt flush at carbon.Won a bunch so startred playing higher limits, the most I put in personally would be about 5 times what Arsenal said or maybe 8.
I wouldn't exactly say I was crying, but I wasn't too far off. I actually found some comfort from the fact that I lost the hand but didn't get outdrawn. I flopped middle set holding pocket J's and lost to a flopped set of K's. It would have been much worse if this would have been a bad beat story. But instead it is just a bad luck story.Quote:

Raised to $70 preflop with AKdmds, Moneymaker reraised to $200. I go to $500, he calls. Flop - A J 6. I bet $800, he pushes, i call the other $700.
He flips - J6. OFF SUIT! WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!
Turn - 2. River - 3. Sticky in my head that hand.
I felt sick.
Damn eejit. I feel a little sick right now myself. Somehow I knew you would be coming through this thread eventually. I know you have been to some limits I will never see. I guess this goes to show you that the table limits are all relative. Just because you are playing higher stakes doesn't mean that the quality of poker is actually going to go up. If people play within their means you might just get some real donks with lots of money.
$110.00 played a 100 +10 tourney and lost first hand with pocket Aces. to pocket kings. flop came QJT, turn 7, river A. My trips lost to str8 and thought i would die. a friend had given me the money to play for him and i really felt good, but then i didnt anymore. I havent played for him anymore
well the most i ever lost on one hand was 400. i was playing a 5/10 table on carbon. got beat with something like what eejit got beat with. pretty crappy. i had KK and nothing on the flop that would scare me. it was my 1st and last i hand i played. came in with 400 and walked out with a bad mood. lol
Mine wasnt that bad if its all in preflop - only 65/35 or similar.
The thing is he 4betted it preflop, which is just a shocking play with J6. Its the way he played it and hit the only flop id get stacked on that made me sick!
man that is a sick beat eejit...guess it all goes with saying those with money are just there for the thrill not for the actual grind. moneymaker is a one hit wonder i think he played well and got the cards for 7 days. what has he done since in the wsop... sick beat.
ITs only sick cos of the way he played it, if we got it alll in preflop id be fine with it. I just HATE the way he played it, and the way i got trapped by him.
And he sucks @ poker. Fat git
