    Default Best Comeback Yet

    PP SnG-- about the third hand, I get Ah Jh and raise it to 50. 2 callers. Flop is 10h 6h 3s. Checked to me and I bet about half the pot and am called by 1 player. Turn is the 9h. Player 1 bets 275 into me, and I push all in. He has 7h 8h and leaves me with 55 chips. A few hands later, I am at like 40 chips and in the small blind. I call just due to a bunch of limpers and I am already in for 10. flop leaves me an open ender and I end up quadrupling up to like 200 chips.

    I ended up getting some decent cards and finished third. Not a win, but to be that crippled early on and still fight back felt good, and shows you you are never out.

    Congratulations. A Chip is all you need.

    A chair is nice, but its a formality.

    My best comeback ever was from 50 to 2nd place in a 5/.50 S&G.
    I recall feeling pissed 'cause I didn't win it

    Fortune can vouch for my comeback from 35 chips with the blinds at 100/200 to win. Dont think I will ever beat that...

    Lack of Discipline and Over-Confidence... The root of all poker evil.

    Came back from 100 chips with blinds at 200/400 3-handed for a win before. Last night was quite good after a SHOCKING play on the second hand:

    First hand, I get KK, manage to pick up the blinds after my 3BB raise is not called. Second hand, AJd on the button, raise to 3BB and called. Flopcomes J 8 2 rainbow. Caller bets into me, I raise him the pot and he goes AI. At the time it screamed overpair but it was almost bedtime (my excuse) so for some reason I called. He had J8 and left me with 30 chips. Went AI on my BB later with K6 clubs (forced to, basically), flopped a king, someone flipped over AK and I rivered a 6. Up to 200 chips and I finish second. Nice finish after that horrific hand...must have pressed my self destruct button for that one.
