How to Play Poker Videos

Who really enjoys a high-stakes Poker Game, and what was the pot you were playing for?

I love poker and made some real good oney doing it in the Marines, I also love to shoot pool and have made some good money doing this as well, but all in all, I love a good game of high-stakes poker, this gets my blood flowing quickly. Whats the largest amount of money in the pot that you were playing for and did you win? makes you feel on top of the world when you win, doesn't it? It does for me, what a rush!

1. I love poker too, though, I probably wouldn't be considered a high roller. The biggest pot I ever played for was $400. It was Texas Hold 'Em and I was short stacked. I was dealt A-4. There were a few raises before me, but by the time it was my turn I was pot committed and went all in. I was called by a guy with pockets Jacks. I rivered an ace to beat him. This was a cash game, not a tournament.
2. 51k pot high stakes enough? http://www.pokerhand.org/?2910640 or should i look for a 500k pot that happened a week ago
3. Hey man I remember when i was 16, i had been playing for a year and i decided to try it out playign against some ofmy dads friends and him also in a pub after hours. It was a £30 buy in, with all players allowed 2 re-buys. 8 players. no limit hold-em. all i remember was the non stop abuse as i took pot after pot off of these "experienced players" who continuously commented on my age. I remember knockingout the same guy 3 times lol, then him getting the ump and saying it was stupid that i was playing lol. anyways, after i knocked my dad out i went on to play this other guy, and got involved with a hand which had raise after raise. For some reason i cannot re-call, i called an all-in with Ace high and took down a £360 ($720) pot at the age of 16 lol. I love reliving that moment lol, although its not the biggest pot i won, it was very memorable. I will never forget that lol. Almost as good as the time i played Anthony Hardy and knocked him out :) thanks for letting me get that out lol
4. I was in a wild $200 max buy-in NL Holdem game at The Flamingo in Vegas a few years ago. Things were going my way - in fact really, really my way, as I had built my stack to an incredible $2500+. What's more incredible is that there was a wild, aggressive, bluffing-all-the-time drunk who also had built up a stack that size! Everybody else had like $100 to $400. So this hand comes up between me and the lucky drunk where I flop middle pair and I figure I'll give him a chance to bluff off some chips. So I check and he checked, Turn was an insignicant small card and I try again but it goes check-check again. However the river makes a straight possible so I check again and then he goes All-in. Keep in mind there is about $36 in the pot and he is betting $2500. I really wanted to call him. Every fiber of my being screamed call with second best board pair and take that giant stack. But I wimped out and folded. Then he showed the stone-cold bluff; all he had was ace high. I racked up and called it a night. That hand haunts me and always will.
