Largest pot ever lost?
I lost a $4500 pot (900bb!) at 3-5 NL once, though it was super multiway and I think I only lost ~ 1700 myself.
UTG raises to 20, MP calls, HJ calls, CO calls, I call 78o in bb.

flop
I check,
UTG bets 70,
MP calls,
HJ raises to 200,
CO calls,
I raise to 1000,
UTG goes AI for 400, MP folds,
HJ calls 1000, CO calls AI for 600, I pray the board runs out 2
K
or something.
9
turn, pot 3100
HJ out of turn goes AI for 700, dealer tells him it's not his turn, I mentally curse (actually it might have just been outloud, I can't remember) and check, he goes AI for 700, and I can't find a fold even though I know I am beat.
K
UTG has 66, HJ has A
3
, CO has K
Q
, and I cry inside.
HJ tips dealer 100 bucks and I am sure they all rejoice
I think I went on tilt and proceeded to donk off the rest of my stack getting it in 3 way AI with J9o vs QQ and KK preflop. Standard for me.
Probably what I get for letting my brother borrow my Tommy Angelo Elements of Poker book. My current downstreak has closely coincided with him having possession of it! You hear that Tommy? Your book has magical powers.
