I’m curious about the levels of degen on here. I’ve never ventured above 2/5 myself. This poll is private.

For consistency of results, please post in USD/EU/CAD/AUD equivalents which are more or less on the same order. No limit and pot limit games only, please. If your precise stake isn’t listed, pick one close to it

always wanted to try and venture beyond 2/5, some day some day

I played 3/6 NLHE for a bit online when I was tilting. I actually ran well and am up in that game over a small sample.

Largest sport bet would also be interesting. Mine is around 1200 US

I sat down in a $5/$10 game in Highland Park once. There was over $100k on the table, I bought in for $5k after beating Gabe Caplan heads up.

$2/5 PLO with a $10 rock. Pretty much $5/10 in Vegas.

Online - $5/10 limit
Home - $1/2 NL but we’ve been known to have over $5,000 on the table
Casino - $8/16 limit...couldn’t win a pot to save my life

I've played $5/$5 PLO once with Brad Booth, that was pretty thrilling!

Online in my one hot streak back in the day, I was playing $10/$20 8-game on PokerStars and ran that up to a pretty sweet number.

Sadly, the all so common 1/3 is not a option.

 

[MegaTon44]

Played $40/$80 LHE several days a week back in 2003-2004. Some disgusting swings in that game.

 

[RowdyRawhide]

$2/$5 NLHE
$4/$8 Limit HE
$2/$5 PLO/NLHE (learned that I didn't know how to play Omaha....still don't)

 

[Annorax]

Online: $30/$60 limit, $2/4 NLHE
Live: $15/$30 limit, $2/5 NLHE, $1/2 uncapped PLO (played like a $5/$10)
Home: $0.50/$1 NLHE

 

[Frogzilla]

$1/2 uncapped PLO (played like a $5/$10)

“Uncapped” PLO...what does that mean? Isn’t the pot the cap?

“Uncapped” PLO...what does that mean? Isn’t the pot the cap?

Believe that means that the buy in is uncapped. 1/2 game buying in for $1,500+ can get wild in a hurry.

no limit to buy in amount?

Don’t play in a casino or cardroom often, but my local cardroom runs a $1/$1/$2($4 to open) spread limit game. Largest I’ve played

Cash:
Limit 40-80 live and online, usually Horse or straight 08. I may have played 50-100 a couple times but its been a while and my memory of the stakes is cloudy.

PL 1-2 with 10 mandatory button straddle no max buy in, basically a 5-10 game PLO game. Depending on the night it was sometimes straddled to 20 making it a 10-20 game.

NL 5-10, although our local 2-5 games plays bigger with uncapped buy ins and abundant button straddles. Sometimes double straddled to make it a 10-20 game.

Tournament:
Never more than $1100 for NL
$650 for Limit mixes

NM read it wrong

 

[Mojo1312]

IMO, .50/$1 should be on the list. And maybe $1/$3.

 

[Jordan Downs]

1/3 definitely should be on the list.

 

[colter ripton]

Heads up for a rim job.

I won when I hit my inside straight on the river against a (slow played) flopped set of aces.

Actually a true story.

 

[Coyote]

Not to mention .50/.50 which is still higher than .25/.50
If it's Euro cents, it's actually .60/.60 in $ :

It's not a gift if you earn it

You’re missing $10/25 NL. Great game!

 

[SendThatStack]

I shortstacked 10/20 NL for half an hour before coming to my senses. Other than that 5/10 NL is the biggest I have actually played.

 

[Bmeister51]

I play regularly at a 20-40 game that runs 4 times a week here in Chicago. Big pool of players here and theres plenty of action. Usually buy in for 10k but there are several regs and pros that sit down with up to 25... I've seen 70k pots and some higher that I wasn't there for. My biggest win at that game is around 35k. Profitable out hte wazoo but you can get stung if you lose a buy in.

1/2 300 buy in at @Rhodeman77 game.
