Holy frijoles, this sounds like a story that needs to be told.

About €2,000 at a €5 blackjack table in Lisbon, Portugal.

I rolled for 54 minutes without hitting a 7. Three way parlay on a hard 8 was a good portion of it. I had all numbers covered in the come, with over $200 on each behind. It was a good roll.

Cash game was last week. I hardly ever play cash at a casino because I enjoy playing with friends more. BUT I realized because they were all strangers I really felt the need to punish them as much as I could. I realized that with my home games I hold back subconsciously because I don’t want to be a dick. It felt really good to push down the gas.
In for $200 our for $1140 in four hours.

I take a week off for a 4 day Vegas vacation, so I have a couple of days to recover. When I am there, I spent 12+ hours a day at the poker tables. I only sleep about 4 hours each night. Then I come home and sleep for 2 days.
I wish! I play until I have to go back to work and sometimes just hours before. I don't know how to do it any different.
The most recent example is two weeks ago I flew in to AC for the weekend. Slept about 4 hours each night like you, played about 30 hours in the 2 days and then caught a midnight flight back. Went to work at 8am the next day dealing with ~100 students. This might also explain why I caught the flu a week later as I don't think I actually recovered....
I am the same way. I usually lose in our regular home games, but do well when I play in card rooms. Maybe because my home game is .10/.20 limit mixed games, and casinos are for “real money” so I have to actually focus instead of drink and talk shit all night.
You lie! I have witnessed some Sprouty brilliance both cash and tournament.

You don’t wake up at 5 AM. You wake up at like 4:15 to get yourself up and get to the poker room at 5. It did work at least this once though. I was completely fresh and the rest of the table was playing in mud.

My best online cash game session was a little over $9k. I was sitting at $50/$100 heads up Razz table on Full Tilt and Di 'Urindanger' Dang sat down with some insane amount of money (I think it was over $2M) and wanted me to teach him how to play HU Razz. After being up a few thousand, I told him I would teach him for a lot less money at the lower stakes if he wanted to, but he insisted we just keep playing at $50/$100 and he ended up losing over $9k.
For live games, I've had a few sessions where I won between 5k to 8k in $30/$60 and $40/$80 Omaha hi lo over the years. Not sure what the best session was though. Maybe $8500 or so?
Never did anything exciting with those winnings though. It just went to pay my mortgage, car payment, etc. Poker wasn't really disposable income back then.
Best tournament win was $103,987.50 from a $5k wcoop HORSE event that I took 3rd in about 12 years ago. I only kept half though, since I had a backer in that event. I used the funds to pay off a second mortgage on a rental property I had.

Damn! I now know how you can afford those sweet sweet Lakeshores. Wow.
I’ve won about $1,500 twice. Once in $50 charity tournament and once in a $125 daily at Aria. First win bought my custom CPCs. Second bought me two hours of pain in a WSOP millionaire maker.
Cash games I’ve never had a big win. Maybe $500 or so at 1/2. I have a pretty nitty cash game though.

Nothing compared to some of y’all but I played 2 sessions in a night at a local card house in Austin. What made me proud was that neither table I sat at were soft tables. Full of regs that I see playing 2/5 or 5/5 and who crush.
1/2. First session. $300 in, $720 out. 2 hours.
1/2. Second session. $300 in. $500 out. 1 hour.
I don’t consider myself a good player. I trap way too much. I hold onto top 2 pair way too much. Just can’t fold KQ suites when they connect. Felt REALLY good about going over $500 up with players who outclassed me in the past and even since. I wasn’t running exceptionally hot, I just played very solid and Collected.

On a side note, I peeled off over $1000 to @Cdsmitck smitck across 3(?) heads up sessions. One of the sessions was $400. I went on meltdown tilt. It would have been $600 but he was kind enough to raid my whiskey collection for 2 bottles of Hakushu 12yr for $100/bottle.
Since then, those bottles have been going for $150+ sighs
F**kin C-bird destroyed me that night.

My style of play isn’t conducive to big wins but I also keep my losses to a minimum. My biggest win at $1/2 was +$728 on a $300 buyin. $2700 in a home tourney.
My worst losing session was only $350 playing $2/4 limit at Borgata opening month. What made it worse though was that I didn’t win a hand for 8 hours! Worst day of poker in my life.
The greatest session ever was playing $2/4 LIMIT five handed and busting all for four opponents. I forget what the total win was. All I remember is that I was playing very aggressive because I was getting pissed at how some of these guys had been sucking out in previous games. I raised and/or check raised almost every pot I was in.

Slightly over $5K, two nights before coming home from Vietnam in 1970.
Crusty old Warrant Officer money, especially satisfying to a 23-year-old captain.
Two weeks later, those winnings paid for a brand new Alfa Romeo 1750 Spider: $4,186. The first metallic silver car I ever saw in the US, actually. I loved that car...
Ok, that was a lot of money in 1970! What were you playing?

Loved to offer people a pour of an obselte Japanese whiskey that I won in a card game.
Nothing make you feel like more a man, no matter how large of a truck you drive.
Yeah, that $5K was a year's salary, but we didn't have much use for money over there...
5 stud, 5 stud w/ sixth card optional, 7 stud, 5 draw. $10/$20 limit. Real poker.
No fancy games in those days!
