I think I finally have a story worth bragging about, and I'm procrastinating some work and decided to post it.

Two weeks ago I late regged the 10K on WPN during the last level as there was some overlay and I was just sitting around. During the next level, I had got it all in with JJ against KK and lost. My cousin was waiting to be let into the building, and thinking I had lost my entire stack I went to go get him. When I get back I hear the alert telling me it's my turn, and realized I had 725 chips left after the ante, and had used my entire timebank.

Best thing to do? Shove ldo

A few hands later, after chipping down a bit, tripling up and winning a few small pots, this happens.

There's no real point i showing any more of the stuff between - which would also include a ton of post flop play - so here's where it ends up.

Brag: Down to 1.3 BB and I never gave up, and I end up taking down the whole tournament.

Variance: Was a pretty epic run up from 800 to 1.65 million chips.

Wasn't a minraise, but yeah I see your point. I remember that there was some reason I raised smaller than normal but I don't recall why I thought it'd be a better play than my standard raise to 50K.

Excellent comeback.....my biggest, sadly pre-PokerTracker was doing this in a small $3.30 back in the day on Pstars.....went from 1bb at 300/600 to 60,000 in 6 hands, back in, and managed like 6th I think but the feeling and lesson was clear....dont always give up that last play if ever. I didnt think it was possible before that.
