Not a bad beat post, just wondering if you have seen worse.

Happened about a month ago to me:

I am up 9900 to 100. Guy doubles up 4 straight times, then manages to win the tournament.

Anyone ever witnessed a bigger comeback heads up?

I had a guy come back from 15 chips once all the way to 3800 and then I laid a brutal suckout on him to win. /images/graemlins/cool.gif

I would just push every hand until he has 3200 chips. So that means he would have to win 5 times in a row which only happens like 3% of the time (or the odds of hitting a 1 outer on the river)

I will never speak of this evil that has been inflicted upon me, but it is worse.

Not 99-1, no. But I did have a guy come back on me who had 140 chips not too long ago. Not only did he win the allins, but I was the favorite in the first three, and two of them were significant.

Wow, I can't come close to that.

Was playing in a SnG yesterday where I had 7k of the 8k chips at one point and still lost, though :-p

I was a favorite in the first 4 in a row, a coin flip in 2, and a small dog in the other 2. I lost all.

The blinds were 300/600 at this point, so he was all in blind 4 hands in a row, and managed to suck out every time. He called an all in with 85 against my AJ, doubled up with a boat, and then it was all downhill.

I think my dad played one tourament where he had maybe 50 chips at some point out of the 8k on the table. It wasn't heads up, but he managed to win it.

With 3 players left, I was once left with T5 on my BB after losing a big hand. The other two players both went all in the next hand, I won the main pot to triple up to T15 and came in 2nd.

My friend lost a HU for a 12k Foxwoods ME seat last September where he had a 970K to 18k lead, and blinds at about 7500-15000.

Second place paid $800 /images/graemlins/shocked.gif

My worst blown lead was having a guy down to 232 in a 10 man SNG, and down to 110 chips in a 2 man, 3k total chip SNG. I have come back from 300 and 30 respectively in each however.

This is the worst thing I've ever heard. I think I'd have to quit poker after that.

Yeah, he was prett steamed, had me go over the HH, which was pretty brutal, to look for mistakes.

First hand at max disparity, guy wins Q3 vs my friends K9
2nd hand, guys wins A3 vs A9 when he wheels river after my freind flops a 9.
3rd hand guy folds.
4th hand guy sucks out K6 vs K9, by this point at ~150k, and just got a few more cards from there on out.

No worries though, three days later, my friend won a seat in the same event. Friggin Even Steven.

P.S. FU

I remember probably about 4-5 years ago when i first started playing poker I had this happen to me. I had a big chip lead on the the little fairy, then we got in a big hand and I thought he was all in. I won the hand, but turned out he still had a few chips left. The pansy then won (literally) the next 15-20 hands straight, to win. Then he tried to shake my hand after, psh.

WTF is your problem? You seem like a dick.

Just thinking back on it made me mad. And the shaking the hand thing was meant as a joke. Of course I shook his hand. And he was probably about 14 and quite cocky at the time, which is probably why I resented losing to him so much.
