chip & a chair

Ok...after all the bad beat stories, here is one of the best runs of my life.The scene: WSOP 2004The Game: $225 single table paying $2,120 ( 4 lammers plus $120 )On the last hand before the color up, my top set got snapped by a gut shot leaving me with one green ( $25 ) chip. Same dude who called all his chips on the draw tells the dealer that I have to race with my one chip. Needless to say, the floor was called, and I was awarded a $100 chip for my green.Lets play $100-$200...my small blind. :roll: Somehow everyone at the table went into brain lock for the next 3 hands. They did all see that Mr. Lucky was being quite the jerk, that's the only way I can explain what happened next. SIX people limp the flop ! My pocket 4's flopped a set...and suddenly I have $700.Next hand...Three limpers to my button...I push...and DRAG !Now I have $1600. People at the table get a little testy at that. Cards come out...and I swear the UTG player looks at 1 card before pushing. Of course...it's Mr. Lucky. A solid older player in MP hesitates a second...and calls. The short stack to my right calls with a sigh. I look down at...of course...pocket aces. Mr.Lucky- AJ, Older Solid Player -JJ, Short Stack-33. My aces hold, Jacks win the side pot, and I was off to the races. Snapped off the table and had surf and turf at the Circus Circus Steakhouse 45 minutes later. I love poker !This story is absolutly true....feel free to post yours.

Great comeback 8) I pulled a great comeback on a $20 SnG on Party Poker. Not the limit you're talking about but I was still happy.I got crippled the second hand in with my AA getting cracked by AQ....guy caught a flush with his Q :cry: This left me with 5 chips and a full table. Instead of people schooling me to put me out I was only getting 2-3 callers when I pushed my stack in. I proceeded to double and triple up 7 times in the next 10 hands. Even caught a Royal Flush along the way :-) . Slowly but surely I scraped my way back and wound up winning the SnG. As they say, all you need is a chip and a chair :wink: If anyone would like to see the hand history, let me know.

I came back from 80 chips left (starting stack of 1500) at a sng at pokerroom after i had top set and the other guy went all in after the turn with the nut flush draw and hit it. I ended up coming back and winning it and the best part of the story is that on the last hand he was all in with pocket tens and i had 2-4s and rivered the flush on him and he talked s hit.

my greatest comeback was a heads-up sng on stars. i was outchipped 2,940 to 60 (yikes!).my second best was a mtt in which i could not even afford the blind with about 2/3 the field left. i caught AA in the BB and came back to make the final table. woohoo!

OK, so it wasn't actually ONE chip, but I just mounted a pretty healthy comeback. On the first level of a $5 SNG I was on the button w/ KQ I raised 4xbb and some idiot called me w/ K10 and cracked me pretty good. He had the boat and I just had trip Kings... I was down to like 180 (from 1500).Next hand I get AQ and double up. A few hands later I get QQ and in multi-way pot make Queens full of Kings on the river and I'm back to around 1500.FFD to much later we're down to three handed me (about 6000ish, chip leader 7000ish, guy who cracked my hand 1500ish. I pick up 55 and push, he calls w/ J5. The board comes all rags, and I type "see ya." only to see all the chips being pushed his way - there were 4 hearts on board and he had the 5 . D'oh, did I ever feel like a jackass??? No harm though, 'cause I busted him a few hands later.Once heads up the chip-leader announced that he was bored and wanted to end this thing, so he moved in every hand. I folded several times in a row, waited 'till I picked up two reasonably big hands and busted him.Not that I didn't win without my share of luck (I do remember a couple of suckouts), but I had put myself in position to make those suckouts if that makes any sense... I'm currently re-building my BR after a brutal month, so any kind of win feels good, but this one felt extra good.

My best was 2 weeks ago in a $100 mtt. I was down to 450 chips at the first break with blinds at 75/150. Went on a huge rush and had chip lead in 20 mins. Went on to finish 9th for $975.

I was playin in a 295 entry mtt on bodog about a month ago when I got my set of kings cracked by a draw out to the straight, left me with 230 chips with 29 players left and blinds at 800/1600 (bubble at 27 so I was hot). Next hand was my big so i was all in with K Q flopped two pair and it was checked down by the two limpers and I take the pot. Next hand I'm all in again because I can't even make the sb, with 2 5 soooted baby. Of course I flop the straight, and take it down..the rest is history. It was the hilarious, eventually built my stack up to around 30,000 before busting out 5th at the final table..crazy stuff.
