    Now, yesterday i had fallen out of love with DYM's.

    I was about to lose my 20th game in a row or summit... running redic bad.

    I lost a flip and was down to 8.75 chips with blinds at 150/300. All over right?

    So if anyone can beat a comeback from 0.0275 big blinds please let me know innit.

    I have NEVER seen anything like this before, and let's just say that the bubble boy was not happy!

    Its situations like this that remind me why I love poker, you never know what's gonna happen.

    And for those few minutes I thought DYM's were the best thing since sliced bread... honest...

    And actually I didnt care that i was down a few buy-ins for the day, mainly because of this comeback!

    Came back from about 1/6th of a big blind to Deuces, and Budgirls amusement and annoyance prob! anyway i have binked a £22 seat for £4.80 due to luckboxiness that started from this one hand

    Amazing Greg- loving that 8.75 comeback.

    Your opening post is a bit misleading though- it says 8.75 big blinds which doesn't sound as impressive. I'd edit this if I were you for maximum respect.

    Could you cut and paste that on the show thread tonight as I'd love to read it out!

    Excellent comeback, you completely destroyed the opposition after deliberately lulling them into a false sense of security. Ignore any posts that suggest there may have been an element of luck involved. You owned them!

    This £3.30 DYM finished a few minutes ago. Player * folded here leaving himself only 10 chips with blinds at 15/30 and all 6 players still alive. That's 0.08% of the chips in play.

    He came back to cash with the chiplead. Amazing stuff!

    Certainly my biggest ever comeback for a DYM

    After calling an all in with AKs after 3 hands which i know was a mistake esp. as it was on another site and the blinds were 10 minutes. 

    I was up against KK and left with 30 chips. I somehow built it back up to 3.1k when we got to last 3 and cashed for 10 euros.

    Had a few smaller comebacks recently and its suprising how things can turn around. And yet you still see lots of ppl just chucking their few remaining chips into the pot the very next hand after they,ve lost a big pot 

    The saying "Chip and chair" shouldn,t be underestimated (as also proved in Garys post above)
