The Most You’ve Seen Cashed from $1/$2 (1 Viewer)

[justsomedude]

This nut just cashed out $2,600+ at $1/$2 (with a $100 max bet/raise). I’ve never seen such a thing at these stakes...

What’s the most you’ve seen cashed at $1/$2 in a casino?

*1/2 home games that play like 2/5 don’t count.

In a casino even I have cashed out for a 2600$.

In Icelandic 1/2 underground games it is regular to cash out for 6000-8000$

$2600 is pretty crazy at 1/2. Biggest I’ve seen at my local with $200 capped buyin is $1600.

$6,300

Wow that is hard to do at the 2-100 spread game also. He must have played and called with K5 off and K7 off for $20 pre flop vs QQ and AA respectively on a regular basis. Yes, I am bitter.

Yea, forgot to mention, this wasn’t NL, but Colorado’s goofy $1-$2-$100 spread limit. Basically a max bet/raise of $100 each action. Makes it that much more impressive.

I’ve been there, @Kyle !!!

That is the most I've ever heard of at Golden Gates. Huge hit given the $100 limit.

When the Moutaineer in WV first opened and there weren’t any casinos in PA or Ohio yet so it drew tons of people.

It wasn’t uncommon to see $4k+ stacks at $1/2 there every weekend. Players would go for 24+ hours straight. Sleeping in their car for an hour so their stacks wouldn’t get pulled off the table.

But to do it in in a game with a $100 max bet requires some serious luck!

Cherokee, NC Harrah's during the WSOP circuit the 1/2 caps at $200 buy-in. We had a 4-way all in pot for $800+. 3 players with pocket pairs and last to act was a girl with ATs and called. She won the pot with flush. Unreal.

I'm imagining people playing in an ice cave, is this accurate?

How much did you cash out that day?

 

[BeesKnees]

More importantly, what’s with the tissue stuffed into buddies cuff?

No we use igloos

 

[justsomedude]

How much did you cash out that day?

In for $200 out for $280... not a huge score. Just a quick stop off on the way back from Vail.

 

[justsomedude]

That's the obligatory OMC at the table. Or, in this case, OMP.

Tissue is probably his hanky.

@wuwho224 ran up like a $4200 stack in a $1/3 $300 cap game recently, best I’ve seen

 

[Ellasdaddy]

In for $200, out for $1125ish. Random weekend at the Borg in 2013. First time I played poker while my wife spent the day at the spa and slept. Good weekend.

I don't know what people were cashing out with, but we did have some large pots like this one at the Flamingo.

I snapped this pic, because I simply couldn't believe there was ~$850 in the pot, preflop.

Folow-up pic was blurry, because I did not expect to see what prople were jamming all-in with.

Seat 2 held . Seat #4 held , and Seat #5 with Pocket Aces. Board ran out .

I get playing AA to the hilt, and 7-4 was drunk as shit (and had a wad of rapidly diminishing cash), but in what world do you shove pre with KQ?

I guess the answer is the world where I build this inside of an hour...

I can't believe the KQ flopped the nut flush. Aces flop a set and still lost. I bet they were pissed.

Seat two still had runner-runner outs to the straight flush, but still... what a completely ridiculous line. Booze'll do that to ya.

PS: nice stack!!!!

Get me in this game. Ha ha. Damn

I watched a player take his $200 buy-in at $1/$3 last week to $3500 in 8 hours. Cashing out for 17.5x your buy-in is really impressive. I am looking forward to sitting down at the table with him again.

 

[daniel song]

the best i can remember is a couple of weeks ago waiting for the 6:15pm tournament to start. Sat down with $160 and cashed out for $780 in 45 minutes (was a little late to the tournament finishing the orbit).

the best part of this story is i ended up shipping the tournament as well. won $3550 after chopping 4 ways

 

[davin]

My largest cash out for a 300max buy in table 1/3 PH

 

[Bmeister51]

I cashed out for about 8k.... crazy 1-2 1k cap game at prime social in houston. Such a good game. Biggest win at that level by far.

 

[Thomacetti]

quarter home games that play like 2/5 don’t count.

FYP

Those who haven't played at 1-2 in Colorado casinos don't know how funny and true this actually is.

 

[yone]

I remember an underground game about 9 years ago, the table ended up 4 handed with every player having over 4K each. They didn’t want to raise the blinds and kept it 1/2. There was one drunk college fish who kept reloading, the game went on for hours like that.

edit: sorry, missed the op were it said no home games, implying casino games.

 

[AlwaysDefend]

Cheating a bit but I've seen £12k in a £1/£2 PLO at The Vic in London

2nd biggest was just over £8k in Coventry. Pic below:

 

[PlayerADK]

Bought in for $100/$200, cashed out 1100-1200 probably 3-4 times.

One time in an underground poker club in NYC I was playing all night and cashed out for like $2,000 after only buying in for $200 in a 1-2 game. There was not rake, but every 1/2 hour or hour(I can't remember) they collected a $5 seat fee or something. I went in there at 6PM after work on a Friday and walked at 8AM Saturday tired but happy. Fortunately or Unfortunately I can no longer do those things anymore. That night I was catching sets like crazy, had a few full houses and had four sevens twice. I could not get a bad hand that night. The other players were getting good hands too, but I had just amazing cards. It was the sickest run I went on ever in one session. This was like over 10 years ago. That was my largest cash out in 1-2. Legally in a casino probably it was close to $1000.

The most I've ever seen anyone walk out with was at the Green Valley Ranch in Henderson, NV. I was at a one two table I had been playing there for a while and built my stack to about $800. There were a few people at the table just dumping money to everyone and re-buying supplying us others with some decent sized stacks. There were two other Gentleman there with about $500-$700 and another guy with about $1000. On this hand I had AK of Diamonds. One Guy had like Pocket 7's, another guy pocket 9's and the guy with the big Stack pocket J's. It gets raised to about 15 pre-flop and their are 4 us in the Pot. Would you believe the Flop came 7, 9, J all Diamonds. It hit us all. One of the players bet like 75, the Big stack said all in, then the other guy called, I of course called, and the initial raiser called. We had like 2500 or something in the Pot. When everyone flipped over their cards I was elated. The only thing that could beat me is if the Dealer gave someone four of a kind or paired the board. The dealer turns a 2 and I thought to myself no worries it's only a two. Then the Dealer burns and turns over the river it is another 2. The Big stack wins. The dealer whom I got to know because I played their for a few days straight apologized to me a few times. I told him it's ok its poker and part of the game. I was dejected, because of the Pot I could of won, but bought in for another $200. I didn't really win or loose that $200 and just broke even with that, but the big stack won quite a few more hands and I would say walked about with about $3000-$3500. It was the craziest hand I was every involved with at 1-2.
