I just finished a freeroll on BOL where I was down to 400 with blinds at 200. I was lucky to get my chips in with a pair of 3s, and hit trips on the flop (to triple up).
I slowly built back my stack and was up to seventh place when time ran out.


If you find yourself low, look for a spot, but don't look too long.

yes, it is possible, it has happened to me many times, waiting for a strong hand or playing against conservative players

The question is why you fall in this situation! Maybe you could review your strategy on poker and stack mgmt!

Of course it is possible but it is not so easy to do, you have to wait for a good hand to be able to go to allin, if you double the stack then wait for the next hand for allin

Sometimes yes, it is possible and the poker is interesting because of this, the one with the biggest stack is not always the one who will take the tournament. However, it takes a lot of patience and knowledge to know which hands you should call and how to raise to get the most chips out of your best hand.

As I had:

:eek:
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!

I did not understand? his stack was approximately 80 bb ... and i didn't understand the bet pot on the flop would only be called losing ... turn then no one talks ...

3/5 bb??? You can not hesitate! Immediately "resuscitation" No. 1:

Good luck! The "patient" is alive, but still ....
Ahead - "resuscitation" number 2:
https://www.boomplayer.com/ru/32006226_B2CC90E8E4:D:D:D

Catastrophe! The stack is still very small! Just a little over 1.5 BB ?!
ALL-IN immediately again! Will LUCK help again?
Let's see - "REANIMATION" №3:
https://www.boomplayer.com/en/32006232_4FCC681524
Ay-ah-ah- This is the END ???

Continuation of a fun tournament! This is very funny! All-in every minute of the tournament!
I have a stack of more than 2.5 BB! But this is negligible to advance! Let's try GOOD LUCK again!
All-in 4-times:

I think it is possible from 6-7 bbs, less no, it would depend on much more luck or variance

It's very difficult but with patience and hitting good cards it's possible I have done it twice, with a 20000 chip stack, went down to 1200, the was a tournament and very next hand got QQ went all in and got called doubled up after that just good cards and hitting every flop.

The story is very interesting - it all happened in 10 minutes of the game - all-in every minute! And all the time lucky! This happens very rarely! Look:

Can someone boast of their victory with a bad hand?

in a slow tournament is not rare to win a tournament whit less than 5bb . with less than 2bb you need luck.
