 Coming back from 125 chips at Level VI to win an $11
After an ill-advised shove against a donk that I thought I was ahead of, I was left with 125 chips and was in the 100-chip small blind. I ended up beating the donk heads-up for the win, so it turned out to be quite the redemption.
Anyways, here is the sequence of hands that got me up to the 2nd-best chip stack after being down to 125 (actually just 25 after posting the small blind).
-----Hand 18-----
Hero's M = ???

It's not exactly the most instructional sequence of short-stacked play since I was lucky to get some cards and all of my shoves were no-brainers. But still, I think the patience to not call all-in with A3o and to not shove from early position with hands like K3o and K6o while having more than 5 BBs are good.
Regardless, being my biggest comeback ever in a win, and probably one of the biggest I'll ever have, I thought it was post-worthy. It really displays "chip and a chair" in every sense of the word (if we're playing with $25 chips).
