A Lesson in not giving up

[Cleveland Guy]

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.

Corrected your post.

Nah, with a lot of luck all you need is a chip, you can do without the chair. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
