Default Highest Stakes?

Just out of curiousity....what is the highest stakes game you've played. Did you ever have a BSwa blowup and play 15/30 on a $900 roll? Ever stepped up and been clobbered at the 10/20 NLHE games when you're on a bender? Ever play 15/30 LHE on Stars to show off for your high school friends (JD )?

As some of you know, I'm regularly a 5/10 6-max LHE player. I play 3-4 tables at a time and after toiling in mediocrity for a while, I've begun crushing this game.

My success has been so great, in fact, that I decided to give 10/20 a shot.

After 500 hands at 10/20, I was down $1200 . So, I'm going back w/ my tail between my legs.

Anybody else taken any shots lately?

A while back I took a crack at a $20 180 SNG on Stars...Don't remember what I busted out now, but suffice it to say it was NOT in the money. My main bread and butter is the $5 or $10 SNGs (depending on where my roll happens to be at the time). Hopefully that will change soon

I had a blowup once and played 3$/6$ no limit with a $700 bankroll. Lost all my money at the table with a king high flush losing to an ace high flush.

Highest I've ever ventured is the $1/$2 NL tables... didn't stay long and didn't win/lose much. Used to regularly play the .50/1 NL tables but since cashing out I'm staying w/in my on-line roll and playing at the .25/.50 and .10/.25 NL tables (for now).

1/2 NL. I've never yet gone higher than my bankroll can handle. Actually I'm under 20 buyins for that, but if you subscribe to the 15-20 rule, I'm solidly in there.

Highest cash game I've played is 3/6 limit. Haven't really tested the higher NL levels, .50/1 is the highest if I remember right. Highest sng I've done is $100, I didn't cash, lol. I've done four $50 sng's, cashed in all except one. Highest MTT buy in I've tried is $30/3, although the most I've spent on one MTT was $60ish in an $11 rebuy. Pretty impressive stuff, I know.

Edit: I did play in a $215 MTT on Party a long time ago, but I won my seat for $11 or something so that's all I had invested.

30/60 lhe.

Half the players were just awful (e.g. cold calling with 95) but I lost $1200 in 15 minutes. I got hit by runner-runner flushes three times.

But definitely my most reckless play was about 16 months ago when I started playng. I had no means on depositing online, so I had to freeroll to start my bankroll. I won $1.20 in a freeroll and had run that up to about $185 pretty quickly. My buddy and I were a little drunk and thought it would a good idea to play a $100+9 SNG.

$30/60 limit.
$10/20 NL.

Nothing too exciting to report from either showing. I've played the $30.60 game a few times, and the NL game was only once - at Full Tilt with John Juanda.
