The value of one chip: stupid play with interesting outcome

[TheDrone]

I had a very odd occurence in a 2-table SNG recently. ITM, 5 left, 150/300 blinds. UTG(1500) raises to 600, Hero(1800) with QQ goes all in (or so I thought but I mistakenly left myself 1 chip using the bet slider), loose and lucky SB (~6000) calls, and UTG calls. Flop is Kxx and I promptly get disconnected.

By the time I reconnect I see that SB had bet the flop and forced me to fold while disconnected. UTG lost to SB who had A high, therefore I would have beaten them both to nearly triple up. Now I have to post the BB with my one chip.

Turns out that I "double up" on the next two hands to get a whopping $4 stack, then I am dealt AA. Another guy decides to push and loose SB guy calls. SB guy wins the big pot again but I triple up to $12. With three left I triple up again before busting out in 3rd place after my flopped flush draw misses. At least I moved up a spot, but I would have been in great position for 1st or 2nd had I pushed all in or not had the disconnect.

There's no real point to this post other than to amuse you with my stupidity and my first real "chip and a chair" type of experience. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
