Tournament Win, about 16k

Cash Game - About 11k playing 10-20 no limit, I had AK hearts on a Jh 10h, 8x board. There was multi way action, one guy flopped middle set, another guy flopped two pair, and I of course had the monster draw Straight/Royal Draw. The money got all in on the turn heads up and I made a flush on the river

I honestly couldn't tell you. I do know my biggest live tourney cash was in the Hearland Poker Tour for about $2800. I also don't play many tourneys, maybe 3 major live ones (2 WSOP and one HPT) and a few little local ones here and there.

As far as a cash pot I have no idea. Probobly back years ago when I was playing 30/60 limit on party. I couldn't tell you the amount but I am sure it was decent.

I won a $1725 pot about 5-6 years ago in a 15/30 Limit Hold'em game in Vegas.

I had 22, and flop was 872 with two suited cards. There was like 8 way action capped on Flop and Turn

By the time I realized I was beat(2nd raise on Turn), the pot was to big to get out.

Magic deuce on River for Quads.

I got really lucky, The hands were

Set of 8's
Set of 7's
Set of 2's (me)
Aces for one guy (who should have folded on turn)
Kings for another guy (who also should have folded)
2 others with Flush Draws.

It wasn't the biggest pot I've ever won, but was definitely the biggest in relation to the size of the blinds.

My biggest pot compared to the blinds was $2700 in a 1-2 No Limit game. They broke up a 2-5 Nl game and the floor person allowed them to go into a 1-2 game with their chips that were in play from the 2-5 game.

Wow. Those are some serious pots. I have not played live cash games, so therefore do not have experience in such large pots. Veyr impressive though.
