Biggest winning night was @MGM in LV on a Sunday morning, won a little bit over 900$ playing 1/2 after buying in for 200$. Lots of drunks at the tables who had just left Studio 54 and played from 9pm to 8:30am.
Worst night was this year, Sunday after the bash also @MGM. Got my money in with AA preflop vs 99 and KK and on the turn a 9 showed up. Bought in for another 200$ and misplayed one hand badly, so lost 400$ during that session (and another 400$ playing BJ after that).

won 1200 at greektown in detroit a few years back.
bought in at the 50 min/max table and was on the must move list to the 200 max table list. fortunately I had already built up to bout 175 when I got moved so I decided to let it ride and got in a HUGE hand with a guy where he had pocket 8's and I had A 8 spades... flop came A 8 Js ... he checks. I check.. turn comes 10s ... I bet .. he 3 bets me.. I call with A8 and a spade flush draw to back it up. LOL.. ..river comes 5spades...I push all in instantly, attempting to "steal the pot"
..he tells me .. Shit you got A8 of spade don't you... says he had been playing for 2 days straight and was up 2500 (remember 200 max buy in).. the pot has bout 500 in it and I went all in for 250 more... he says I know I am beat... but I call.
I smiled and showed the A high flush.. he lights up a cig and takes a long break. LOL
funnier than that is... it sets us up for a nice hand later.. he is frustrated.. and lost bout 500 to me at this point
I bet like 15 preflop...he raises to 60 preflop.. I call with pocket 2's ready to set him up if I nail(hoping he has AK or A something and misses)
Flop comes AKK. I am like Damn!... but he is first to act.. so he checks.. (im thinking he is setting trap) so I check behind, looking for a 2!... turn comes blank... he bets $60. I think for a min, then Realize that maybe he has a pocket pair Under the AK and this is my one chance to steal this pot.. if I make a bet I give him a lil of his money back, but I think at this point it is worth it. I fire out $200 total. He ponders for a min.... shows queens and says nice flop and folds.. I show the 22 and he goes beserk! LOL... I had a great night. bout 7 hrs of play.

Yeah, I had already built up my stack to ~500$ when that hand occured, would have been a huge pot and wasnt too happy about the turncard. But in the end I can live with these beats, normally takes me about 5min to get over it because I know I played correctly.
What really got me upset was the 2nd buyin I lost, when I called a large river bet, although at that time I should have known, that I was beat and I just misplayed my hand.
Tops is about 1600 but ive gone over 1000 many times, mostly playing 4/8 limit. The 1600 was half and half Omaha and Holdem. ive told the story before about thinking i had hit the BBJ after a guy let me draw to quads for min bets,,,i thought he had a royal....i shoved and he had trips..
And ofcourse the one when they hit the BBJ for over 100K while i was in the bathroom........and didnt give me a dime..

that is BRUTAL!!! I was at a table when a BBJ at a local game about 2 months ago was up to 5400$ I got like 300$ it was Quad jacks over Aces full of queens... the guy was going to muck his cards then I noticed that he had aces full of 10's or better beaten... he got like 1600$ or something for that ... glad I noticed it or he would lost the BBJ
around 3 g's at a 1-2 200 max buy in. flopped a king high straight with about 5 bucks in the pot and went all in with only the big to call. he called his stack 300ish with ace high! runner, runner broadway. got up and left.
twice though i have bought in at 3-6 limit for a hundo and had over a g on the table.

GreekTown casino in the D
1-2 sat down with 200 ran it up to about 450. The 2-5 game broke up and about 3 people came to my table. They thought us low ballers were bad players. The deck hit me good and ended up going home with about 2200.
Never hit so many flushes in 3 nights of poker let alone 5 hrs.
Biggest hand I ever won was when I was in Cali. Playing at the Indian casino outside of Lopoc. got 3-6 on the button guy made it 8 about 4 callers before me called and BB called also. Hit 2 pair on the flop the betting went a little wild and I put in another 80 or so. Turn is a magical 6. Betting goes nuts again with me and 2 others. Brick on the river. turns out the other 2 get it all in and I call. both had a straight. LOL I flip over me lowly 3-6o. hehehehe about 1400 playing 1-2 with $60 buy in. I wiped out 2 good stacks.

won like $1200 on a single 5 hour session playing 1-2 NLHE... 1st big pot i had AK vs AQ vs 22... all in preflop for $200 and i spiked a K on the river... phew... with $500 i then called a $16 raise with 5-6 hearts, these greek guy had QQ and the flop came KK7 with 2 hearts, guy bets a $35 pot-sized bet and i call, 4 comes on the turn, he fires $100 and i call, river is a blank no straight or flush 4 me, guy bets $50 and after pausing a little bit i decide to go all in and he folded after thinking for about 2 mins... i showed and the guy walked away superpissed, he couldnt believe it. i then decided to move to a stronger game where people usually buy in for $400 or more... i raise from UTG to $16 with JJ and get 4 callers... im already worried... flop comes 3-5-6... and i get spiky and decide to go all in for the $80 pot... thinking im against high cards maybe a lower pair than mine and perhaps a straight draw... well.... last guy to fold had the nut straight obv called the $400 and change more.... J on the turn, 5 on the river for the full boat!!!! i was so thrilled i kissed the dealer in the mouth and she was kinda chubby
