Ok this post is more of a brag than anything else. I shipped one of the Big Doubles on Ftilt yesterday after being down to less than 2bbs with about 20 players left. I was so proud of my tenacity ! I obv ran good but it was my greatest comeback ever.
Edited By: muz_oz Jan 6th, 2011 at 11:17 AM
Anyone got any good back from the dead stories cos you never gave up??
Oh, PS dont think my comeback was the greatest ever. I wanna hear the greatest ever comeback!
Reason: So people dont think im an ass! -
I spewed away the 50 on stars against some guy named stankee for 3rd the other day after coming back from around 3 bbs bout half way...
-
Haha, you are a mort arent you!! If only you were mentally stable!!
-
Good job, had a similar situation last year myself - had 1.5BB with a few hundred left in the $10R/A on stars and took it down.
Something about a chip and a chair. -
2nd in FTP 750K after having half BB with 75 ppl left, shipped a 2,100 seat into FTOPS 2 day after having 10 chips at 20-40.
-
YOU ARE SICK ANDRES, come back from the beginning are far the toughest due to the long run going after, you need so much motivation to do this. Congrats Sir

Nice come back muz !!!
I play low stakes MTT so my sickest comeback was in a 2$ 1r1a.
- hand 172/265, 33 UTG+1, 8.8K blind 400/800 ante 100 :
I shove and got called by the SB holding 99 with 8.2K behind... couldn't manage the suckout this time
- hand 173, A6s UTG ... 187 chip that 100 goes to the ante so 1/10 of BB... won the hand
- next hand, won with K7s 500/1K blind ante 100 with 1123 chips
- Folded the next hand (Q6o) 4BB due to multiple donkey's shove
AA next hand to double up to 10BB
I couldn't manage to ship it but FTed it with a 7th place..
All these stories remind me of a must seen vids from sheets called "The good the bad and the ugly" where he had Kings in the 16th on a flushdrawboard where a villain played agro with AQs and managed to hit givin him 250 chips at 20/40 but this was not enough to unable him to ship this party poker $100 tournament..
This vid is like a poker bible for me, the value by playing correctly in these spots is soooo huge...
Nothing to say... I feel small... It is an honor to know you.. -
9 chips at 2000/4000 to win the $55/40k...
-
746 chips left in the nightly 70k with 31 left.... had one ante and took 2nd!
-
Dday tho, ~1/3 of an ANTE and he comes back for the win:

another 1 ante story.
had $ 482 @ 2000/4000/ 400
@ the final table with 8 players left. Ended in 3rd when my AK lost to AQ aipf. -
I lost 4K cash and forgot one greet $25.00 chip in my pocket,,, I was so discusted that I decied I'd go to the Black Jack table, game I never play and would keep pressing if I won till I got all my money back. It got kinda sick when I was up to betting the max 2K per hand after never loosing a hand... ended the shoe up $18K. Dealer busted every single hand but the last one, the entire shoe. They sent the poor guy home after that debacle! Colored up and went to the cashier. Not really MTT comeback, but still pretty sick!

During double guarantee week too...PLZZZZZ FTPDoug!!!

20 left with antes u only need to double up a few times to be back, i lost set over set in the turbo takedown on stars with blinds 10/20 and was virtually out with one smallblind left, and came back to 8k with avg of about 4k through redicolous luck! unfortunatelly got moved to another table and ran with QQ vs AA in the very first hand lol
not that sick, but i got cripplet in a 180 12$ turbo on stars twice and left with 1bb both times, and won it, pretty sick to be crippled TWICE and then win -
I was once down to 1 chip in a home game sit n go heads up for winner take all.
Ended up shipping it obv and became a professional because of that -
Hello 100k badge! (unrelated mini brag)

I once had one small blind in a bar league game (we play for fun and prizes [and get drunk]). I push 3 hands in a row blind, 3 double ups, went on to take everyone out to win a $50 gift certificate to the restaurant and bar I worked at, lol woohoo.
