My biggest win ever came in a $10+1 buy in tourney with 250 people in the tourney. I started out like everyone else with 1,500 chips and quickly ran into some bad luck. I lost 300 with K-Q-10 flop and having A-J to a river flush and 500 more with two pair to a river straight. After this hand instead of fuming like I normally would I told myself 1 double up and I'm right back in it. So I held in there and sure enough saw a light from heaven. This light was in the form of pocket rockets which not only doubled me up but with 2 callers of all in bet trippled me up. From there on I played great poker and never got into a hand big that I wasnt in the lead. The sad thing is that I ended up finishing 3rd but I played that tournament better than any other one before and probably after. Still got a nice payday with 3rd and I was happy enough. |
