OK, I played too much poker yesterday. Here's a 9 player sit'n'go where I get down to 2M in chips early on, and come back to second place. A cinderella story....
Hand 10 - I had been pretty active in the first 9 hands, taking two pots, and seeing 5 flops. I had taken my two pots with mediocre starting hands, so I can't blame this player too much for paying to see his miracle card on the turn. Watch me bury myself here.

FNJ - I hadn't seen much from this player, but I had a hard time placing them on big slick, since they limped from early position. I do the same sometimes in cheapo tourneys where raises aren't respected, so I shouldn't have been surprised.

Good thing I had taken a couple pots, so I wasn't wiped out. I now have 220 in chips, and blinds are 15/30
Hand 11 - I fold my BB with 74os to an early raise.
Hand 12 - Blinds are up to 25/50, and I fold my SB with J6os
My chip count is now 165, blinds at 25/50
Hand 15 - I limp 56s, as opposed to putting all my chips in the middle. I catch nothing on the flop, and my chip count is now 115, less than 2M!
Hand 16 - I figure I'm dead, so I take a suited jack and run with it to triple up. Note the all-in raise that follows me, which really makes me think I'm dead.

Hand 18 - I had seen this player make raises with ATos at least twice, so when he made his raise, I figure I was only the 60/40 dog with a chance to double up right here with a lucky pair. Against someone else, I might have folded to this raise, however at 50/100 blinds, I am at 3M and cannot wait. This hand brings me officially back to life.

Hand 19 - I'm the small blind, get in cheap, catch a lucky flop and situation to double up again. Note that I am actually ahead at the flop, despite having only a flush draw. This hand means I'm no longer the short stack.

Hand 25 - Watch Muffyzach raise on questionable holdings yet again. Note that I had raised preflop a few hands earlier, and given up the pot at the flop to the same player who limped AK to cripple my stack.

Hand 36 - Remember the tourney that I said didn't look like on line? This hand here looks an awful lot like on-line, doesn't it? Note that I get to have my revenge on the player who almost took me out.

Hands 37-61 I get my chip stack as high as 6000 for about two hands, but spend most of my time folding crappy holdings and watching the big stack get bigger. By the time I've outlasted all others down to the final two, there's an 8 to 1 chip ratio, and I fail to catch doubling-up cards and die quickly. Still, not a bad comeback from less than 2M!
