No, I primarily play online sng's and get involved in cash games very rarely. I play those with my friends, so it's more about having fun than anything else.

700LTL is half of average salary in Lithuania <_<
So I wouldn't call that "game for fun"...

I really don't remember the sum of my biggest win, but certainly the most notable one was winning third place in a $25 tournament, paying me slightly over $3000. Back then (it was around 3 years ago), my whole bankroll was around $200 so this was really big money for me. However, the part that makes this one notable is that, obviously, right after getting the prize, I decided that I'm good enough to beat a $5/$10 NL game, and needless to say, the $3000 was down to zero in matter of hours

May I remind you that this was three years ago.
Now, I'm older, smarter, wealthier and most importantly, fatter

So, after all, did you manage to beat the $5/$10 NL by now ?

Possibly. But that would require a bankroll of at least $10k and since I don't have it, I stick to $1/$2, max. $2/$4.
