Your biggest comeback?

[Thrawn]

I played my first poker game on the net, at Bugsys (free play, of course).

Was in the game the whole time, my total chips would be around 2nd or 3rd highest but when it came to the top 3, I lost a few monster hands (gah, so close too) and dropped to around 1,700 chips. The other opponent went all in, folded and I was left to face the guy with 18,300 chips... the run I made afterwards was nothing short of amazing. Folded when I needed to and some great hands really helped. Eventually I pegged him back. From there I had some good hands to work with, and whittled away at him. Now he was at the receiving end. In the end a two pair won it for me.

Best comeback ever. Like winning from 100 points down.

Seat 8 : drivfaster (small blind) lost 1,750, showed hand [ 6d Kh ]

 

[Syd Kennets]

Good comeback...Not 100 points though, its only like 4-5 hands difference there, its probably like a 50 point deficit!

Make it 60, 10 goals then.

My first game on the net too.

Four buyins busted to run a $5 profit or something like that. It's often how it goes with me.

 

[Knowledge]

This wasn't my best win but I thoguht it was a good comeback:

Crown playing 1/2No Limit. Busted with my 60. Was going to leave and found a 5 dollar chip in my pocket. Took my 5 bucks to casino wars won 14 times in row (each time doubleign 5 bucks).

I thenk too that 70 bucks back to the poker table and won 300.

Had a mad all-nighter ages ago (last year some time) at .50/1

Was up a few hundred...dropped to about five hundred down...then ended up a two hundred ahead at the end.

Went off to breakfast a very relieved man.

I wish I had the hand histories for this.

I was in a 45 player sit-n-go, get to the final table and this guy virtually cleans the whole table, 2004 Raymer style.

So it's me, who has barely played a hand the whole table and this guy, if I remember correctly it was an 7 to 1 chip advantage. I just though "screw it, I've got second, lets end this."

I start going all in every hand with absolute garbage, 4 hands straight I suck out on him, then I think "hang on I'm a chance here!"

I fold a couple to make it look like I'm playing seriously now , then start going all in again, now he's folding everything, obviously waiting for a premo hand to catch me.

So I then get the chip advantage, his friend was watching and they were talking about what a nut case I was in the chat box, I could tell he was frustrated and I got AK, so I limped in from the small blind, he pushed all in with a ace rag and I called.
All over! Only confirmed to me how much donkism is rewarded online

 

[Dooky]

played 1/2 about 2 months ago.
first 60 gone. second 60 get down to 40.
about 10 hrs later i walk out with $1280

 

[Bender571]

I was just playing one of Hansa's freerolls where you start of with 1500 chips. About 45 minutes in with about 600 of a 1000 people left I'm down to 360 chips. I get 10c 10s to save me and slowly work my way up to 1590.

From there I fall back down to 520 and get 10h 10c again. Winning that hand I manage to get my chips up 13408.75 (thanks to a great run of 5 hands Ah Kh, Ah Kd, Junk, Jh Jd, Qs Qd) before eventually getting knocked out coming in 44th and winning 50 cents

 

[red+black]

I've had $1.89 on 0.50/1.00 PokerPro at Crown and got back to $90.

Been $700 down at Crown playing 1/2 and left $100 up.

 

[CrippsonBlue]

Usually if Im doing bad in cash games, I go All-in with my last $5 and usually lose it, so no real chances at comebacks there.

Best comeback in a tournamaent was the first ever poker game I played. I think it was the 2nd/3rd BF Hansa tournament organised. I was on one of the last tables/last table?, and down to like 300/400 chips I think. Average chips was around 10,000 chips, with several players on 20,000.

First 2 hands I was bascially forced All-In due blinds. Had a good run (straights/Quad 2's ect.) and about 5/10 minutes later I was chip leader by a couple thousand chips...came 4th I think

 

[ashley12]

I was in a Pokerstars freeroll a few months ago, one of the Hubble ones with 12000 people in them.

Anyway, I got down to 6 chips (starting stacks were 1500). I quintuple up with pocket 5's that make a set, then I am all in the BB and win again. Then I get rockets and go to 600 or so. Two folds then I triple up again with the nut flush...

Didnt do much after that but it was a good effort...

 

[sante]

I've played plenty of tourneys (usually the 3+hour ones) and have been down to less the the big blind and came back and placed or won.

 

[tribey]

When I won $800-odd coming second in a deepstacks tourney on Stars, I was down to a few hundred chips early on (start was 3000, blinds up every 30 mins) before quadrupling up through some long-awaited rockets and building from there.

 

[CrippsonBlue]

Not best ever, but not a bad comeback. I like to play the 10c Stars tournies when I have the urge to play, but dont want to bet money you know. Finally won one of em!

When I called this hand, I got down to 29,000 chips v 485,000 chips
