Is it possible for you to get back into the game?

I never give up. As long as there is one chip - the game continues and everything is possible

I like your stories about a good, tough game and I see that no one has given up yet! I guess all cardschat players always keep positive!
Thanks!

Personally I never give up. A lot of players are still pretty terrible at knowing how to play 10-40bb stackes in MTT's. While the math doesn't favor you there's always those times when you can and do come back to get a deep run, get an ITM finish, make the final table and win.

Cheers!!!

If possible, as long as you have tokens you can return to the game. It happened to me in a freeroll where I was left with only 3 blinds and I was able to recover and place second in the tournament

For example, you start a poker game and lose 50% of your starting chips in the first 10 minutes.
Are you able to pick yourself up and continue the fight or have you already decided to give up?
Thanks!
Personally I lost 90% of my chips in the first 10 minutes and still made money
I am not used to giving up even when things go badly. I'll just keep playing the way I know how, taking into account the peculiarities and format of the tournament and the specifics of my opponents' play. To give up is to admit defeat, I don't like to lose :)

It happens that I am left almost without chips at the beginning of the tournament, but sometimes I still manage to get to the prize area. Several times I was with the smallest number of chips at the final table, but I still managed to take first or second place.

Hi :)
If you are a disciplined player, you will be able to find good options in any situation. If you are not a disciplined player, then your decisions do not matter because everything will depend on luck.

I played tennis professionally for 8 years and that's where I learned to always fight to the end. I had cases when there were less than one blind left and I still got into the prizes, the story is very similar to yours. You need to learn to show character, regardless of the circumstances that happen. This skill is very useful in life, and not only in poker. My answer: Yes - I can get back into the game if I lose 50% or even more chips, at the very beginning of the game. You can give up at any time, but what's the point?) And if you fight to the end - this deserves respect and strengthens your character even more!)

Anything is possible in poker, it's a game.Believe me - poker is a trap. Even if you win, it is an illusion of success, but in reality it is marking time and a spiritual fall into the abyss.That's why I only play freerolls.

I've learned that you should never give up of a tournament, even if you only have 1BB or less. There were a few times that I lost almost all my chips and I really only had left 1BB and in the end I still made the in the money (once I even made the FT), so, after that I never give up. Of course there are days that when you lose almost all your chips and start to play like a crazy maniac, but I usually try to keep playing the same way.

I would be interested in statistics, for example, out of 100 games, how many times have you recovered from a painful start.
Probably less than 5%. Around 5% of the time I have an ugly start to a tournament (1 out of 20 tournaments). Of that percentage I am only able to shake it about 5% of the time. So...not very good stats. Play safe.

Okay, I understood your point. First I think about whether this type of statistics is really necessary, considering the long term and not just 100 games. However, for fun purposes, lol, I think that out of 100 tournaments, at least 5/6 games should be difficult to continue. This represents 5% of early finishes, it is quite possible to reduce this percentage by improving your skills. In short, never give up, a chip and a chair can be enough.

It is possible to recover in the tournament, even if you have lost 50% of your chips, the secret is to play calmly, waiting for strong hands and playing in position.

There were cases when I won starting from 1bb and cases when I lost from the same stake, what I want to say is that luck can show itself at any time.
I agree, I have had many cases where I won tournaments by spinning with 1-2 blinds. Many pros often do not go all-in on the river, but leave 1 blind to have a chance to come back if they lose.

Losing a lot of your chips happens because the game of poker is like a trap where we fall into the second best combination vs the first best combination

And often the mistake is that it is not enough for us to guess that we only have the second best hand - instead of folding, we engage in a fight and lose.....

if this is a rebuy tournament, then play more aggressively in an attempt to get promoted, in any case, you should not fall into tilt, you need to understand that dispersion is merciless, just watch a video about playing in small stacks
