Made it to first break I'm 1289th out of 5070.
Man this is one of the tightest Sunday's I've ever played, I have A/Q and call a 900 chip raise in middle position and the button makes it 3500 ... what do I do?
FOLD
It was the right move, I need to be the aggressor ... most interesting. Hopefully there will be more updates ... we'll see. 😀

Sigh ....😡
I had doubled through and got as high as 500th in placement and I overplayed A/K and got busted by 6/6 of all hands.

That little pair of 6's knocked the wind out of my sails for sure, goatmaster was one of the loosest players at the table, I didn't figure him for 10's or a high pair, I saw him lose one or two with A/4 and A/6 and figured I was probably going to be ok. My re-raise was to find out where I'm at ... what I learned from this is I'm still too loose in calling anyway once I get that information. 4900 in chips is still a good amount at this stage ... I probably should have folded. Still an A or K on the turn or river and I wouldn't be posting this hand history.
I still had a pretty good stack and this happened ... shortstack blues or this guy is a fish .... he got lucky.
Definately a loose call but if he lost he would still have around 10k, he probably read me as a donk on a desperate play. I had just been moved to a new table. Can't say he's a fish, I was making a desperation play but NOT without a hand. I want but don't want that call.... was glad to see he didn't hit but was sick when the turn came a jack.
If that jack didn't hit I would've been on average ground, it was just not meant to be today. A case of shortstack blues. I did well .... we all wish we could do better. 🙂
Maybe next time. 🙄

i've made quite a few comebacks - my most recent was being down to 140 from 2000 from the 2nd hand.
Blinds were still low so i had room to manuevure. I ended up winning. You need some fortune with cards because when you do go all in your not gonna scare many people off when low stacked.

mine was couple of months ago 1.00 mtt on crazy poker.All my chips in 2 times even had said my good byes gg gl etc. I won 95.00. I'm going to look for HH of this miracle will post when found to give all some f**king hope (stolen from Robin Williams )
Sorry to hijack this thread with hand history's and such, probably could have moved over to what game your currently in.... still a comeback in progress would've been cool.
Yeah Joose 500 was well within the money, with over 6000 players it paid down 900 places, if ya busted out in 900th you would get 250.00 or so. There's 2 ways to look at it, I played too loose myself for where and when I got that aggressive (I didn't need to). And there is allways the point of you got to play to win and poker is one of those games where stuff happens, if I would've won those hands I'd be a hero instead of out of the game. It's funny I KNOW one of these days I'm going to win a huge tourney, what I don't know is when. 😀
Now back to huge comebacks. 🙂
Allthough I've done it in poker many times I can't remember any specific ones, I can testify that the saying "a chip and a chair" has real meaning. I've done it both live and online. Never give up, allways look for an edge to make a comeback.
There used to be in San Diego what they called "turn around buses" for 5 bucks you get on a bus to Las Vegas, you spend 5 hours in the sponsoring casino and then you get 5 hours free time, then get back on the bus and "turn around" and come back to San Diego.
On one of these trips I lost all but my last 5 dollars in the first 5 hours. I had 5 hours left and didn't like the prospect of having to hang around Las Vegas for 5 hours with no money. So I went walking through downtown looking for a movie theater figuring hey theres 2 hours I can actually not be bored.
On the way down the street I said "Screw it" walked into the Pioneer Casino and placed my last 5 dollars on a blackjack table and proceeded to win 100.00, once I won that I walked accross the street and played at the Golden Nugget and won another 100.00, I went from casino to casino taking 100 dollar from each one until the bus left. I was 300 dollars ahead by the end of the day. That was a nice comeback. 😀
Another time I was breaking even pretty much for the whole trip, 10 minutes to go before the bus left and I stepped up to a craps table. I never played craps before and hadn't a clue how to play. I put 5 bucks on the pass line and won, took the winnings and covered the hard ways. Someone tapped me on the shoulder and said the bus is leaving let's go. I grabbed my stack of red chips and went to the cashier and cashed out 500.00 dollars. Ending that day 500.00 bucks ahead LOL 😀
Leaving Las Vegas by airplane once, pretty much down about 200 bucks. I was playing quarter slots in the waiting area. The airline announcer said over the speaker system that my plane was now loading passengers. Exactly at the same time my slot machine lined up 7/7/7. No time for a cashier, I loaded up my pockets with 300.00 dollars of quarters, trying to hold my luggage and my pants up at the same time, going jingle changle jingle with every step, everyone laughing at my situation. Was hilarious 😀 😱 😀
Ahh good times, good times 😎

Happened this past Sunday, actually...
I entered a 50 person, multitable SNG, and after playing badly for a few rounds, suddenly found myself with less than the sb. (Thank heavens for the All-in button! 😀 )
I won three all-ins in a row, totally expecting an early exit each time I tried, but luck was with me and after a bit more careful play, I was back on an average stack, albeit shaken! 😱
An hour or two later, I won the tourney and the U$75, which felt like a U$mil to this very relieved newbie!

Live I have been down to one 100 chip with blinds at 100/200 to finish first. I don't recall my lowest on-line but I did just do this and posted it in the brag section.
https://www.cardschat.com/forum/poker-goals-challenges-wins-46/ohhhh-yeeaaahhhhhh-85772/
I was just a nice win for me because these two were trying to not give me action and hoping I would blind out so they could take the money. I fought back and played really smart poker to work my way back. The guy who took second even said I played really well to work my way back.

Just played in my first ever Freezeout...
36 people started, and when we were down to 15 people over two tables, I was in dire straights, with only one blind of each size left. A couple of frantic all-ins later, I was sitting on the average pot and then lady luck kissed me warmly! Great cards every hand for seven hands took me to 15 x the next highest chip stack, and I finally finished second in the tourney. Consolation prize was 7 x the buy-in! :icon_thum

Played my first live tourney in a couple months last night.. went from 2nd in chips to out one hand before the rebuys ended... chip stack was playing everything and cracked my AA with 8 10o when he hit trips... bought back in and was down to 3500 chips at the final table with the blinds at 3000/6000... came back to win the entire thing... I was pretty impressed with my luck and all around play.
