Well, I could get back the buy-in but did not win much more.

I don't usually risk much. But the maximum was $2.20 in a tournament, where you don't always get a good result.

online MTT's, I think $322 And honestly I don't feel comfortable playing the $109's online. Not because it's 'online' (or what some might associate with 'online') but because I don't feel like I have an edge there and if I don't have an edge, I don't particularly enjoy myself while playing. Even if it's money I can afford to lose... even if my online bankroll is big enough to handle it, I play scared money at that buyin level. What I'm getting at is... I don't have any desire to play above $109... and would prefer to not go over $54. I will make exceptions though (ie. Sun Million).
Live MTT $1,500

Year 2007 I played tournament on Pokerroom.com with buy-in $650 three times. For first time to play I had ticket that I won on freeroll and I won $3600 for third place. After that I try two more times, but it was not so good like this third place.

Playing with a really small bankroll all the time and being pretty strict with it I never went over 11$ buy-in. Maybe some day if I luck out and win some of those smaller ones I'll try something bigger hehe.

Came home one night after a night on the beer, logged on my favourite site at the time, and thought I had registered for a 50 Cent game, I was horrified when the game started and I saw it was a $50 Dollar buy-in. I inevitably lost and it took me months to rebuild the $50 back into my bankroll but I did.
Taught me one important lesson though, Never play drunk!

Several times I managed to play 109 dollar tournaments, qualifying in them through satellites. In some of them I managed to get into the prize money.

$55 is my biggest buy-in.
I won this ticket in a special freeroll on PokerStars, but unfortunately I couldn't get a good result.

for $109 but I didn't get into the prizes and flew out a little bit left before the prizes but I was so unlucky the whole tournament so I think we'll try to play more tournaments like this sometimes

The tournament with the highest value that I played was one of $109.00 usd which I got in a freeroll, unfortunately it went badly for me and I couldn't get into the prize pool.:confused:
