ok so real talk.. after a casino night what u guys remember more – dat 1 big WIN or the stupid regret move? 🤔

some ppl say nuttin beats hittin a jackpot or takin down a fat pot. others say the L’s stick longer n hurt more. tbh i still remember the “almosts” like crazy.. folded a hand once that wud of crushed the table n i think bout it even now lol.

so lemme ask:
- whats ur biggest win ever? did u cash n dip or kept playin?
- biggest regret u still salty about? (stayin too long? walked out too early?)
- u think its the highs or lows that shape u more as player?
- if u had redo button 4 just ONE casino moment… wat it be?

i bet everybody got 1 story at least… either proud flex or epic fail 😂 both type make good stories so spill it.. what sticks w/ u more, da high of winning or that low blow loss?

Once I won about $2,000. It was my biggest win ever. I picked up my friends who were with me and we went out of town to relax at the lake. I got lucky on the slots, I got free spins and a bonus game :)

My biggest win was a combination of poker and blackjack (poker tournament where I won casino cash and played blackjack to turn it into real cash) and it was $8500.

Unless you are playing poker you don't really lose or win big pots so to speak. Since I stick to my budget there are no times I have huge regrets about decisions I made - it is mostly luck in a casino. So the big wins are by far the ones I remember the most.

It's never bad idea to continue playing after big win (and therefore give casino some money back) - for example wagered some bonus few years ago during which i hit 1000x on 0.60 spin - i could have taken all 600 out but since i used this logic ^ i "only" withdrew 500 or so therefore yeah ...

My best experience was hitting a Royal Flush on a Video Poker machine in South Lake Tahoe on New Year's Eve. My friends and I had a few beers after to say the least.

My worst experience was losing Head Up to Annette Obrestad in Full Tilt Shoot Out for a wsop Main Event seat. I took the chair I was sitting in and smashed it outside on the concrete. A K < A Q - Q on the Turn did me in. She had me covered by a smidge.

Yeah sometimes the win gives us more excitement than the actual money 💰… 🥰
I won a blackjack tourney once, the money wasnt great, but it was a really fun experience.

If you would ask me, having a chance to participate in a WSPOP main event would itself be an achievement. But yes, I do understand the disappointment loosing such an even with AK 🫡

I only play slots when they give free spins — every time I’ve played with my own money, it’s been a mistake, though I’ve done it very rarely.
