Nimrod

Only a nimrod would keep playing a cash game after tripling his money. Unfortunately for me, I'm a nimrod :-) I joined a table using the default minimum starting stack amount of $100,000. This was due to the fact that I was a little flustered; the table already had eight players, and I was rushing to take the final seat. After 95 hands, I'd built my stack up to $312,833. I needed to pull the ripcord, but couldn't summon the will to do it. One of the things which was keeping me at the table was the massive amount of money in play. It was far and away the most money I'd ever seen at a table in a cash game - a whopping $4,954,664 at its zenith. I wanted more :-) On hand 139, disaster struck - I was dealt pocket rockets, and rode them all the way to the felt. I lost $243,098, setting a new career record for largest loss in a single cash game hand (incidentally, just one day after setting it). However, I wasn't done yet (more's the pity). I reupped for the full maximum starting stack amount of $250,000, and then lost it all in the next 29 hands. The ending this time was even more spectacular - I lost $280,400 on the final hand, besting the record I'd set just 30 minutes before. It will come as no surprise to you that I also set a personal best for money lost in a single cash game - a colossal $350,000.
