Last night I'm playing an PLO/8 SNG on pokerroom (those are my favorites these days).
I take a bad beat, my boat I made on the turn, with my good low draw, loses the whole pot when he hits his few outs to a higher boat on the river.
We are 4 handed, so I'm sure the other players are waiting for me to bust here.
I am left with $34 in the BB with blinds at $100/$200.
I play my random 4 cards, and scoop to get up to $102.
Next hand I'm in the SB- and call my last $2 after posting. I scoop again, and triple up to $306.
I'm now on the button - and push when UTG folds to me.
I push in my $306, SB folds, and BB calls (of course).
MHIG again, and I'm up to $712.
UTG I get crap - so I fold.
In my BB, I get another good hand, UTG Folds, Button Calls, SB Completes, I push, Button Calls, SB Folds.
Again MHIG - and I am now up to about $1600.
I fold my SB, and double up again from the button to go back over $3,000.
Now this isn't a fairytale, and I still busted out in 3rd - but I figured after having 1/6 of a BB - geting back over $3,000 was a feat in itself.
It's true - all you need is a chip and a chair.
