From when i was at that low level to when i reached heads up because of the blinds i think nearly all the hands i was in were just push all in preflop ......... go aggresive play

You are right but his thinking was he was prob wanting make sure u would call and leave u really short i do this alot and after when i see the persons hand i think damm he would have called the all in. I do this because im not to sure how strong the persons hand is, if they have a decent hand they may be willing to cripple them selfs but if u put them all in they might fold. Thinking that with u that short he should be able to finish u off with out much prob. But well done on the come back always great to win with a come back

That guy was an idiot. he bet 2 big blinds 2400 into a pot of 30 000 when his opponent has 18 000 back. Yes he has the nuts but he may as well check than bet that. He should easily put you on a pair or AK and should get you committed with a bet of 6000 on the turn. He couldn't expect you to come back from 9 and a half K against 58K but it's really not that hard with a bit of luck. Well done for not raising him and congrats on the win.

well done,it sick when you make comebacks like that.some sections of the poker world call it the shortstack theory,where smallest hand becomes biggest cauz you think in your mind you have nothing left to lose,so you win.you can never win when you want to win.
