Your biggest buy-in...and win

I rarely venture beyond my $5 buy-in comfort zone, but maybe I will when I'm bit more confident in my game.

What's the most you've ever splashed out to enter a tournament?

And what has been your biggest win?

I've played the 20k at PDC for a $55+5 at PDC a few times

The biggest buy in ive played is the $100+9 At Bodog but won the seat for that one

My biggest win is 3k in the 10k (now the 20k) at PDC for which i qualified by the way of a $5 sat

in live poker, I think the most I paid for an entry is $55.00, usuaslly $25.00 though, but several times have cashed for between $900.00 to $2000.00 aprox...

Online, the most is $25.00, and again, had some good cashes...

The best return on a buy in was the $5.50 OFC game @ Reefer, think I won about $450.00 in that one...
HOUSECATS

The biggest buy in was the Sunday million for $250 but won a sat for the seat.
biggest win was 30k guaranteed with 5k added $30 buy in I won 12k

Follow-up question...

Do you believe the standard of play is much better with a higher level of buy-in?

in most of cases i play only extreme turbo sng's for 2.50$ (euro's) - 11$

but my largest buy in was for 60$ to a 300k $ tournament, and i didn't win anything, but my best winning was 120$ in one torunament, it was a freeroll

Some nice cashes there - and total respect to Housecats for a $12k win. I'm gonna have to up my game...

Believe my biggest buyin was a 100$ mtt.

Biggest win was 4k in a 20k freeroll  

Most of the time i buy in for no more than 15$


To my surprise i dont think the quality of play is any better at higher buyins. At least not in the early stage.

I guess donks come in all shapes and bankrolls

My biggest buy in $100. Biggest win 7k
muratore

i have satellited in to some $109 tournies through APF (bodog) and think thats my biggest buyin.

the biggest one i payed for myself was $60 for a $25k gtd on merge last summer, and made it to FT in that one and won 750

that was my biggest win up til i won the $3.5k gtd on Nordica for $1050 a few weeks ago.

live i think my biggest buyin was around $40, i didnt win any.. but had some percentages in mr mullet, so i got some money back from him when he finished 2nd
