I've swung from last place to first place in three hands before. Also gone from less than 1bb to finishing ITM and have also made an MTT FT with 1bb and won it.

It's my opinion that I'm often more dangerous when beaten down to a micro-stack than when I'm the chip leader. Cornered animal and all that...

Definitely never give up!

Don't remember the details, but heard a story of a player winning a live tournament after having been down to 1 chip.

May be! After this tournament, I believe everything! Have you seen how lucky I am?

It's possible, but highly probable. It's been done before. You just got to go on a heater for a couple of hands, then you're good

My second largest tournament score to date was in a 12$ tournament, where I got it in on the bubble, lost a coinflip and was left with a completely crippled stack. I therefore changed strategy and managed to fold my way to the money with less than 1BB left. The very next hand I got it in with whatever and won, and that started a comeback, which actually saw me take home second place.

Awesome comeback, Fundiver! Well done :)

Sometimes it happens that you lose almost all the chips!
As I had:

This is very sad! But is it worth it to get upset? Is it possible to get up with a very small stack?:trytofly:
What do you think? Or is this the end of the game for me?:tomato:

Let's do an experiment! Keep track of what happened!

Knowing this tournament, I can say that this is a hopeless situation.

Hi EVA777! In the Poker is very important in the time change the speeds!
This is not very simply, but in the definitely moment need learn to say yourself:
"STOP!" Because, if your opponent doing call after your bet on the Flop,
means possible he hit in the Flop... On the Turn, I think, You need was to do
a check, that free to look a River, but not to risk the all your stack...
P. S. Very pity, that I not met with You in Heads-Up for the final table
in the tournament Freeroll Club with 9 on 10 December...:(
Good Luck! See for You the tables!;):)

Thanks for the advice! I know my weakness - the reason for this is the temperament of the choleric. I work on myself! Poker is good at changing even nature - I has become much more patient and calm!
Well done, good game! Good luck to you!

Story of the experiences

I participated in a tournament of a start by 1500 chip.
Once, it has even been 26 chip.
But after that it's recovered and there is a thing which became in Maney.

That was a freeroll, dear friend!
You have to take into account that the level of the players is very low and, as they do not invest anything, make ridiculous moves!:D

It is difficult to control after this but it is the first thing you have to do and be with very few chips do not mean that you are out of play while you have chips no matter how few they are still alive you just have to wait for very good or acceptable letters to send them all and seek to recover clearly, if possible

Overall this is normal to have low stacks in the tournaments especially in MMT with 1k+ players and you always have chance to get up from the low stack. The lower stack is lower chance. If you want specific chance just calculate how many all-ins you need to get average stack and raise to that number degree the average success chance of your all-ins with low stack. That means yes you can get up with low stack but very often you will lose it.

In poker everything is possible if luck is in your favor, I have already gone ahead in tournaments where I am left with just about 25 chips, and since the first time I did it, I knew it was always possible, do not get frustrated, there is no to get discouraged, just take a deep breath and do your best ;)

I've gotta back up many times, and to the money several times. It's discouraging, you need the right cards at the right time, in my opinion there's very little other strategy. Best of luck.
