Yes I know it was only a 10+1 sng...but, didn't give up and made it all the way back.

ScoobyD

This wasn't a forum tourney was it? Nice comeback man.

Wolffhound

It was similiar ScoobyD...guess Wolff's have 9 lives...
It was a fun ride though. A couple of suckouts on the way back up. But, a couple of folds that worked out in my favor
as when I did get the last of my chips in it worked out.

Big E

Nice one Dave!

I played a $1.10 MTT last night....got my aces cracked to go down to 300 left with well over 1000 people still in, managed to scratch and claw my way to 80-something...and at one point was 8th in chips...it's always nice to buckle down and make a comeback!

cristi

Wow, great job. How'd you do in the other 2 SNG's ? Most people would've given up in your situation. Nice play

Wolffhound

thanks BigE and cristi, i think the fact that I was still in the other SNG's made me stay in it.
Out of the 4 - 1,3,4,6

JohnnieH

Nice comeback, Wolfy!!

Lamb of John will probally find Hand #87 interesting.....

I placed 4th in a 180 person SnG earlier this week while surviving in 19th (top 18 paid) for at least 4-5 orbits with a stack that varied between 40 and 1040 or so...CL had around 70k...I survived to 18th and then couldn't miss: quadrupled up (low stack), then tripled up (things looking better), doubled up, and doubled up again to shoot into contention...serious rush-ism.

good job man! way to many people just give up on the next hand when they are down to the last few chips.

LOL I tried the chip and a chair at Bristol street and it didn't work out. However yesterday on the 8 or 9 th hand on pacific I go all in with 580 with kk get called for 540 with AA and lose. All in next hand with 3 4 suited hit the flush to double up. All in next hand with AK and win with A high (got called by KQ suited. Went on to win the 11 SNG. Thank god for luck and lots of fish.

How about reverse chip and chair? How did Aimee double up on the first hand and not make day 2?
