Most I've lost in a night: $1,200
I won a little over $11k one night in the late 80s. Had 5 partners tho 
Won $1k more than 5 times.
Biggest loss? I do not show up to lose...prob less than $300 in one session.

thats priceless.
Won $900 but only got $600 in cash and the guys muecci...lol
$20. Note that I am the cheapest of cheap gamblers so was playing $1 a rack 9 Ball, so ending up 20 ahead was pleasing.
Oh and I won twoStraight Pool games for $20 each once, but felt so bad for the guy I let him win a third game for $40. It made me realize I utterly lack the correct temperment to make money playing Pool. (I.E. Being happy robbing people I know I can beat easily.)

$80.00 many moons ago (about 15 years ago). Last pocket 8 ball at $5.00 a game and a beer. Split the proceeds 50/50 with a friend who loaned me $10.00 that night to play. That same night, the pool-room owner died in a crash, after taking some of the drunks to their homes. He fell asleep while driving back to the pool room. Rest in peace, Borreli.
The Most
In 1991 I started playing a guy in a bar on Saturday night, 9-ball for $50.00 a game. The bar closed at midnight and we then drove about 60 miles to his home or mansion I should say. By about daylight, we were playing for $2500 a game and I was giving the 6 & the break playing 6 ball.
The total loss was $61000. Cash! I don't think I really hurt the guy either.

Yep. I guess you did win. Was that US or Canadian? Not that it really ,matters, it is still a great score.
When I made my score, I was about 625 miles from home and very nervous about having that kind of cash. I had been up a couple of days at that point and checked into a motel back in the city, but couldn't sleep for fear of being robbed. That was the longest 625 miles of my life.
