Up to several hundred dollars. I try to play satellites more often where you can win tickets to more expensive tournaments. Satellites are a good option, you can win a seat for a fraction of its value.

This week, I made my biggest buy-in, into a tournament by poker pro and streamer Rafael Moraes, $11.

For those who play micro, it would not be ideal, but it was an exception

I took part in a $ 109 buy-in tournament. But I won the ticket for this tournament in the satellite.
But mostly I play in tournaments with a buy-in of up to $5.

I think the tournament that cost me the most was about 4 years ago, a Sunday Million Special with a buy-in of $109 and I ended up in prizes, I cashed like $360 or something like that

the highest tournament I was able to play was a $55 buy-in tournament, it was a great experience since I am not used to playing tournament buy-ins higher than $10.

except for my money, I won a lot of tickets to $109 tournaments but I didn't spend that much money to enter the tournament, it's not on my bankrolls so I just won tournaments to play expensive tournaments so it would be better even if you lose money

I have played all the major buy-in tournaments thanks to the fact that I won entry through free satellites or a raffle and they have been for $109 and $215, but looking back a bit I think the buy-in tournament was bigger than I have played it was one of $11, it was one of those important events that they take out in poker rooms and I wanted to take that risk, my game was terrible but at least I tried

It was a tournament on PokerStars, and I ended it early like 10 minutes after it started. Since then I have been playing in satellites, with a buy-in of $1.1 :)
