This has to be at the casino. State the Limit or N/L game you played in, how much you won, and if it took you multiple buy-ins. For me, the most i've won was $550at $3/$6 Limit poker. It took me about 3 full buy-ins (had a run of bad beats early) so i had around $800 in front of me (almost 8 full racks of chips).

$1080 in a $1/$2 No Limit game is the most I've ever won in a single cash sitting in a casino. That was on my original buy-in. I held the nut flush when there was a straight on the board. I was up against a King-high flush and one idiot who was playing the board and thought we were BOTH on stone bluffs.

2/5NL at the boat. I took down a 500 dollar pot with pocket 7's and hitting a set. Two hours later watched my brother take down a 1900 dollar pot with 4/5 diamonds by floping the nut straight.

I had a +800 session on one buyin at 1/2NL at the MGM Grand in Vegas. 2 memorable hands, a set of 7's against KK, and the nut flush against the nut straight and a set of 4's.

Yeah, I always tip off the stack. I pay all the expenses to get there out of pocket but I pay for everything while I'm at the table from my stack.

Some people are just annoying. What the hell am I supposed to do, reach in my pocket and possibly slow down the game everytime I want to grab a buck or two to give a waitress?
Not tip related, but we had a guy sit at our 2/4 table in Vegas and buy in for $50. He was a $20/40 player who was staying at the hotel and had busted out of a tournet at the Rio and just wanted to unwind and splash around. He was playing super maniac and was giving people refunds, showing his cards to the players in the hand and basically just giving his money away because it was fun for him. Well a bunch of drunk idiots were 'offended' at this 'a**hole' throwing his money around and drove him off the table. I was pissed.

I've had a couple recent cash outs + $900-$1000 playing 4-20 spread and 6/12. Took 3rd in two $100+20 limit tourneys for about $1800 each. Got lucky and hit table share of a $100,000 bad beat jackpot for $4700.
Nothing really to brag about in my book..... and not quiting the day job!

B&M cash games-
a single $3474 pot in a 1/2 game at Binions (was invested ~1400 in the pot)- table 8
a $2900 win, also in Binions 1/2 game (bought in for 2k, cashed out just under 5k), also table 8
ran a $200 loan from a dealer buddy up to $1800 (also Binions 1/2, table 13)
Caesars 2/5 NL- took a 3k pot, the first hand, when I sat down under the gun and they dealt me aces vs the next chipleaders kings. We both got all in preflop, I bought in for about $1500, the guy with kings had about $1400
B&M tourneys-
Binions weekend 8PM $200 buy-in,
multiple (6 or 7 in the past year) 1st place finishes, ranging from ~$1750-$3000
Binions APPC multi-rebuy event ) ~$100 buy in, with multi rebuys first hour, 1st place for $2800, and I was only in the almost minimum (initial buy-in plus immediate addon)

Groton-
This was online with a max buyin of $2k. I dont sit in the 10/20 at FW much since most of those guys have too much on the table for me.
As far as the tourny's go, I am still thinking about it. I might play a few of the lower buyin events. But, I am mostly a cash player, so I generally dont fare to well in tourny's.

oh man, I'm sooooooooooo happy you asked, it's a classic hand I've told a ton of people about, and wanted to mention it here, but since I really dont post here much, I didn't explain it so I dont seem like "bragging", also because I made a move that pretty much 'forced' the villain to give me action, and I dont always wanna give away some of my more "dirty" moves that induce action when I want. Anyway, the hand is as follows-
First off, when I said "the first hand", that's not entirely true. It was the first hand when I sat at that table. Basically, I was playing in a shorthanded 2/5 game when you could tell floor was trying to break our game. I asked for a rake reduction earlier, and we were playing on 1/2 rake while shorthanded, which didn't bother me one bit. Caesars has no cap on the buy-in on their 2/5 games, so when I sat down at the shorthanded game, I bought in for a rack of red ($500), and an additional $1500 in $100 bills so I could cover the whole table. I took down a couple of pots and was up to about $2300 total when floor tried breaking our game. I was happy at the shorthanded game because it was pretty soft, and I really didn't want to move, but the floorman said they had seats for all of us at full games, and unfortunately for me no one was objecting to moving. So me, being the little bitch I am, asked the floorperson if I could adjust my buy-in at my new table, maybe buy-in for less if I choose to; after all I really don't feel like leaving this table. Reluctantly, he agreed, mentioning how "normally" I'd have to use my entire table bankroll at my new table, but then again I had a stack of bills and he really didn't know how much was there. So he agrees I can buy in at my new table for whatever I want, and I go to my new table.
I get to seat 2 of my new table, I have about a rack and 2 stacks of red ($700), and before I play my first hand I scope the table to see how much money each individual player has. The biggest stack I could see was about $1500 or so (it's difficult to see exactly how many $100 bills are on the table sometimes), with an average stack of anywhere from $500-$1000. So I buy in with my chips, and an additional $900, enough to cover anybody there. I'm in seat 2, button on seat 9, so I start out under the gun. Very first hand I get dealt aces. Good and bad. Good because it's aces. Bad because I have absolutely no clue how the rest of the table is acting and playing. I decide to come out with a big bet, I raised and made it either $30 or $35; risky because maybe I'll just pick up $7 in blinds, but rather that than a big river-bet to someone that got in cheap and made their 2 pair better. Seat 3 folded, seat 4 called, seat 5 folded, seat 6 just about min-raises, making it $75 to go, and it was folded to me. The small raise gave it away to me, he was sitting on a monster. It also turned out that seat 6 was the high-stack on the table, other than myself. I had to figure that seat 4 was going to fold regardless of whether I call or raise; and his stack wasn't very big (maybe about $500 or so), so I pretty much just wanted him out, I didn't feel like being greedy trying to suck out every last cent as possible by slowplaying. So here's where it gets a bit "dirty", depending on who you ask.. I knew I had to raise; after all my opponent was big-stack, I know I have the best, I know he also has a very strong hand, I figure he'll pay my price as long as I dont make it too outrageous. So I make it as if I'm going to call, and just as I'm "throwing" the extra $40 or $45 in to call, I announce 'raise', just as the amount to call is going in. Dealer announces raise, while I think about how much more to bet. Villain has a few $100 bills behind his towers of stacks of red, and I ask how many bills he has behind. "I just want to know about how much I'm up against", I tell him. He says he has $400 in bills, which is when I then said "$400 more, lets play bills only, no chips.." Just as he says "What?!", I put 4 $100 bills into the pot. Seat 4 quickly folds, and seat 6 quickly says "All-In". :D :D :D I Immediately call, he says "You got aces?", I reply "Yup", he then says "Yeah You're good" Well No Shit!! Flop, turn, river, no help to either of us, I take my win, pay my BB next hand, call a 3 bet to see the flop with my trash (73 or 74o or some crap like that), miss the flop, fold before anyone bets, I rack up and leave.
Classic how he stepped on every landmine I placed, not thinking for 1 second that there is a (slim) possibility he's beat; and not even seeing the flop before putting in his entire stack, with not the absolute best; especially against a new player at the table he has no idea of which style I play. This wasn't a tournament, it's not a race, he could have thought a bit before making a decision he might regret later.

You're hyping up a story in your own head to feel as if there's more mystique in that scenario than there really is.
Your attempts to get action / trick people / needle them into giving you their stack were pointless. You were the only one that noticed them. He had KK. You had AA. By the time you've reached your current stakes I'm shocked you haven't seen this happen atleast 50 - 100 times before.
That's not an interesting story. Count your chips and thank your lucky stars.
I realize it was asked HOW the money got in - that means a proper line (he was obv. trying to learn). Save the drama part for Tilt.

And you couldn't mention this in your first reply, exactly, uhh, why?
You speak of drama, yet you're the drama king. Perfect example as you making a post with a hidden agenda, because you "didn't like my story". Well then read on & shut the f.ck up. Because as yes, as you say, I have seen shit like this a million times, and dealt shit like this another 2 million times, until you are sitting at a live f.cking table, and the shit happens to you, in an ideal f.cking situation against the other chipleader, you tend to remember & enjoy the story as well.
So I hyped it up. I won the hand, easy double up, first hand. It was interesting to me, but not to you.
Stop your bitching, or bitch about what's really bugging you to begin with.
A better first reply would have been "you could have just said the hand without the filler. kthxbye" but that would have been too easy for you. Instead, I, just as probably everyone else here, knew you wanted to retort to a bitchfest instead of just saying something more to the point.
"a nicer, gentler drama-king"
whatever, have a nice life, and grow up sometime

I asked for the story and liked it! Thanks for sharing. As a poker addict I much prefer the long story with all the details then the simple I bet, he raised I reraised he pushed... reply.
Supa, if thats your real name (I still have my doubts) As you might know I am one of the (Original) supafrey big fan. I usually didn't mind the sarcasm, or you one liner. I was sort of upset when Supafrey was gently pushed to a time out from this site but since Supa is back, I have to confess I didn't find any pleasure in reading the tons of posts that have came since.
Before the time out, Supafrey (though often arrogant, cynic and sarcastic) replies well always a good read and very informative. Supa's posts are usually miss the informative parts and even more rarely fun to read!
No offense.

Darlin':
I wouldn't tell you what to like/dislike from reading people's post. Just remember that you're still (like all of us) trying to improve your game. Reading something that says "I bet X, which he then raised to Y, which I paused and then raised to Z" will teach you ALOT more about poker than something relaying everything from getting tells concerning sweat on the brow to buddying up with the floor manager to "using my bills to entice his play". One is factual and effective - the other is stupid poker drama that, if focused on too heavily, will really only hinder your play.
Secondly, I understand your frustration with me not writing things out in full like I used to. To put it simply, I just got fed up with people writing two or three useless opinions, me correcting them with detailed, reasoned arguments, and getting a lovely "well that's just a difference between our styles of play" response. If opinion here is really swayed by the simple democratic number of votes on each side of an issue (regardless of how stupid), then there's really no point in me offering much more than my three words on a subject.
Posted Mon Oct 30, 2006 9:15 am GMT by MrDarling
now those are the kind of responds that will make me believe you are the REAL Supafrey 
The fact that when ever you write a good informative reply you get few who don't agree / understand / respect your opinion doesn't mean the rest of us (The quiet Lurky type) don't enjoy and learn from your insights.
So get back your previous attitude of screw what everybody think (Though you don't have to tell them that EVERY time) if you feel like giving a full informative reply, please go for it! This is one of the main reason average and below players like my self visit this forum.
Again, I meant no offense and value your comments.

I will play 2/5 or 5/10 depending on the lineup. I generally want the 5/10 game to have a few targets before I would sit there (dont have to worry about that at 2/5 because most are targets there).
OK on the tourny's. I am in the time bind too but might sneak down there for a few. If I do, I will PM you and maybe we can hook up for a quick bite.

Shorn do you find the 5/10nl game easier or harder in B&M?
Do you get more nervous in live play?
Posted Mon Oct 30, 2006 3:37 pm GMT by shorn7
Supa-
I actually find it more difficult in live play than online. I don't think my nerves are any different because the buyin isn't a significant amount of my bankroll. However, I do seem to have beeter results at this level (and 10/20 also) online than I do live.
I thik the donk factor online is higher in these games than it is live. Also, at FW where I play live, there are always a number of regular solid players in the game that know me and know each other so it is more difficult to put big moves on. And, since we are all targeting a few other players, the overall profit potential in the 5/10 live game is lower than online.
