bull62 0 Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Just went from $70 in chips at 15/30 to win an 18 man SnG. How? By being a total fucking luckbox, that's how. Link to post Share on other sites

yeffy 0 Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Not quite the same thing but I had 2 $5 chips left in a 10/20 LH live game once and ended up cashing out 2 racks ($1000) Link to post Share on other sites
Ganseynogle 0 Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 In a sng today on the bubble someone came back from 5 chips and then I bubbled. Link to post Share on other sites
juggalo41729 0 Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 I came back from 386 chips with blinds of 400 800 one day to make a final table in an mtt.I've also came back from 86 chips in level 1 to win a freeroll on jetset in the good ol days when my 83 offsuit flopped a full the very next hand. 1500 ppl I think.And just to warn you I think ryland is typing a post.

rogerwilco 0 Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 My best comeback was when I was down to exactly 50 chips at 25/50 blinds in a STT, but I don't remember if I won it in the end or just made it into the money - still I was very happy about the outcome in the end. :Dedit: I've seen more impressive comebacks by other players though, once a guy at my table was down to 40 or so on the bubble of a STT with 100/200 blinds and ended up taking it down...

onlyme386 0 Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 I prefer not to suck at poker and get shortstacked and have to luckbox back in to win.I once went HU in a 9 man SNG on stars with a CL of 13485:15. That's 999:1 for those counting at home. Serious bubble pwnage there. Link to post Share on other sites
James D 0 Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 About a year and a half ago, $20 HU SNG, I had 13 chips, other guy had 2987... I won!It was totally ridiculous, cos the blinds were 25/50 and I was all in automatically for the next few hands, and about 3 or 4 after that until I could afford to fold. But I just couldn't lose any hands, lol. Link to post Share on other sites
Dirtydutch 8 Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Just to ruin the party, you all realize that coming back from the small a stack doesn't mean you're super awesome; just that you got really, really lucky, right? Right. Link to post Share on other sites

sandwedge 30 Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Best live comeback for me...In my first hand in a 2-5nl game, I lost $295 of my $300 buyin. Next hand, I throw my $5 chip in with pocket eights, win and have $30 something. Next hand, all in preflop with AQ, win and have around $120. Ten hours later, cashed out with $1400.I was a chimp in a chair. Link to post Share on other sites

BigDMcGee 3,352 Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 I was down to my very last chip.. I kid you not.. I had already got up from the table, and started to walk away, when Dolly yells at me " Hey jack, you still got a chip left" and by golly, I did. I was all in 8 of the next 9 hands, and I came back to win that darn thing!.... wait a second.. that wasn't me.. that was Jack "treetop" straus, and that wasn't a sit n go, it was the world series of poker... hmmm got confused there for a second. .I sometimes start to hallucinate I'm Jack Strauss when reading God Awful threads..I really shoudl get that checked out.
