A chip and a chair...

So the legend is true. I just came back to win a poker tourney after being down to 1 chip (this chip representing 1/10 of the small blind). I'm not even sure how or why I wound up having just that chip, but I'm pretty glad I did. Usually when I'm at that point I just throw it into the next hand, regardless of what it is. This time I decided against it, probably because I was watching a movie at the same time and I didn't want to start another tourney.

I've gotten fairly good at online poker, and it seems to even rub off in the real world because in every instance in which I've played in a real casino in the past year I've cleaned up. It's a shame those instances are so few and far between. (Though I have yet to play in a casino in the continental US). One of these days I'm gonna enter one of those $1000 tournaments. And after I bust out in the 8th hand, I will summarily enter another one immediately, crap out after 3 hands, and jump off a bridge.

Also, on a random side note, I'm pretty sure you can make a consistent profit in super-turbo sit-n-go's just by blinding out.
