Now lets hear your stories

[msaban]

once went down to a single 25 chip in a live tournament with about 15 left in, got pocket Aces next hand, basically every one called and they held up, then pushed all in every hand for 6 hands on the bounce, winning every one and eventually went on to win the tournament

[gazabroad]

Went down to 22nd out of 22 left in the pl tourney the other night. Had 320 chips left, nearest was 900 odd and leader on 10,000ish.
Loadsa luck and moves at right time saw me win eventually.
Gotta love Pokerkings

i can think of 2

first one was the maxim king of poker grand final last year.i was down to 200 chips with the blinds at 100 with about 80 people left and i managed to come back for 2nd place and a nice laptop

and the second one was in the belagio with wasp playing the $130sats for their daily game.i went down to 1 chip left with 7 left and it was my bb .i doubled up 4 times on the trotthe locals even started calling me felix coz i had more lives than a catstill ended up bubbling in 3rd tho

[the croc]

my cat dissapeared for 3 weeks then turned up again,does that count

Only if you moved from Cornwall to York in the meantime.


I have 2.

One in a PL game where I was down to about half a BB with less than 20 left I got lucky a couple of times after then ran hot with the cards. I think I ended up finishing 2nd or 3rd instead of 13th or so.

One was in Blackpool last year at the AWOP team event. I got my chips in against a couple of muppets who turned over something like J8 and 67 against my AQ (pre flop) - I'd seen the acrds they were playing and expected that.

Flop helped them and not me and I had a 100 chip with the blinds 200/400. I seem to remember being out, then realising I had split the pot when I was all in on my BB so I doubed or trebled up. Then I hit a straight to quadruple up, then I just kept going.

It was a headhunter event and you got points for your team depending on how many you knocked out, and at one point later one I had pocket 8's and was deliberating a call of 2 all ins. If I won I'd have points for my team, but if I lost I'd have lost my chance of a virgin festival seat. before I made my call I checked what effect my calling would have on the teams chances and when I was told not much I folded and played for myself. I think I'd have hit trip 8's and lost to trip K's. Anyway I ended up winning a seat by coming in the last 5.

Just had a pleasing comeback on a STT, down to 85 chips early on....
