A couple of years ago, I had 49o in the BB all-in (before I had any true sense of position, M, FE....) with about 150 left, trying to squeak into the money of a $5 on Pacific...

Well, there were about five limpers before the SB pushed and made them all fold, QQ v. 49, flop 99X, turn 4, I go from t380 to about t2500, and end up finishing second for a couple of hundred bucks.

I don't know if a 30 person tourney counts, but I got down to 15 chips in the first level and somehow battled back to take the lead and finish 3rd.

Party Super Monday i was down to less than 2 bb's very deep ITM (4 tables or so left) and folded to SB who min raised me and i called for like 1/2 a big blind behind with my AA (thank you darse!!!!!) and beat his 42s and then proceeded to double up like a zillion times before taking chip lead at the final table and eventually coming in 2nd for (by far) my biggest MTT payday (15.8k)

I remember a tournament I played at the Orleans in Vegas where I had 200 with two tables. I tripled up with AK, then went on a remarkable rush and ended up winning the entire tournament.

Last week I was down to T287 when the blinds were T150/300 in a Party $30 (about 500 players left).
I pushed 83 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] UTG+1, and wound up coming 6th in the tournament.

Ive recovered into near chip lead from both 45 and 85 chips. I think each time my card would slide off on the river in slow motion~

#1 - With the last $5 (only played 3 months then) left in my bankroll I entered a MTT on Pacific. Down to 1.5bb, end up all in with 92o against late position raiser who flips over queens. Flop xx2, turn 9, and so it began. Ended up finishing in 2nd place restoring my bankroll to the original $500. Also began my MTT obsession.

#2 - Pokerroom.com long kiss goodnight down to 400 chips in round 1 after bluffing off 1100 like a donk. Resolved to play like a human. Ended up taking second.

Down to T185 in a UB $10+$1 with blinds at T100/200 and entered the FT 3rd in chips. Finished 8th though. That was a long time ago before I knew that making the FT was just the beginning of the tournament, not the end.

The best comeback I've ever had was having T4 at a Omaha/8 SnG at Stars when there were seven players left and finishing 3rd. I went all in about 10 of the following 12 hands. Pure luck!
