Comeback stories ...

beach2002

I've often thought that the saying "a chip and a chair" was a great saying and a good one to live by when playing poker.

Does anyone else have some stories about great comebacks? I'd love to hear about them. I've included mine that prompted this post.

I remember a while back stpboy posted about coming back to win from (IIRC) 60 chips. That blows your 70 out of the water. Haha, jk... great comeback.

my nickname is the comeback kid

quite a few times from around your chip stack size i came back to either win or finish in the money in a sit ngo, tourny's the odd time i get down low but manage to finish in the money.

I really do believe in 'a chip & a chair'. Many times I've made some amazing comebacks. Of course, when all you have is 1 BB, you have to get lucky as the 1st few times you're all-in you will be called.
