Largest Loss

Post your largest loss here. I hope this makes me feel better.

JV = 55k (24 hours)

Also name the player that got the most of it.

Whitemountain. Kluane. And DBOCEAN.

Maybe my biggest before that were a couple of 25-30k. Im thinking that the best way to look at this is like a ribbon in the cap. Sort've like the indians that would make the little chiefs kill a bear when they turned 15. Sure most of them died, but if you kill the bear you'd probably become chief. Or maybe the first time you got laid, you pretty much sucked, but at least you have a notch in your bedpost to brag abot.

And when my grandma asked me what's the most I've one in a day, I can say, "Not sure grandma, but I lost 55k last Friday!"

It was about 2 months ago. i was playing 150-300 and 200-400 on ub. the day had started out quite well and before dinner i was up about 12k. then about 11 i figured "hey i am running good( and i had been for a few days) i'll get anouther session in". and boom right away i am down like 8k, playing one table of 150-300, so i fire up 1 table of 200-400 hu, and win like 4k right away. i also get back a little on the 150 table and am also even. i close the hu table and get back to even maybe even a few hundreed ahead. so i figure sweet this is more like it i am a little tierd but lets win anouther couple k to cap off a great day. so i get in anouther 200-400 game and at first it is back and forth. he is very very very aggressive, but i am using it against him a little bit, getting him to burry himself when he is way behind. then boom he starts hitting everything, i mean everything, just totally nuts. for ex. one hand
I have AsKs on the button i raise, he 3 bets I 4 bet, he 5 bets and I call.
flops is Ah8h9s, or something like that, and we go 6 bets.
turn is a blank, and i bet, he raises, and i 3 bet, and he calls.
river is a heart and i bet, he raises and I call.
he has 3h2h.
I mean i guess that is not that bad of a beat at all but it gives you some sense of how aggro he was and how big the pots were getting.
thgere were also a bunch of hands were I would 4 bet with something like AQ, AJ, AT pf and he would 5 bet and i would call down, correctly almost everytime. he would have something like A7 and hit his kicker on the river. so i was just generally running bad and losing the max, and i ended up losing 35k to him and giving back 10 in the 150-300 game. that was one night were i hated poker totally.

p.s. it was dumbanimal who got it.
