“It goes to show you that no matter how bleak things may seem, no matter how short your stack, there’s always a chance of making a comeback. Stay strong, play your game, and it just might happen to you.”
I wrote those words nearly one year ago to the day in Vol. 6 of Hold’em with Holloway, which told the “chip and a chair” story of Mike Watson at the 2014 World Series of Poker Asia-Pacific. It’s called maximizing your potential, and while it may seem self-evident, you’d be surprised at how often tournament players just flat-out give up when the chips are down (literally).
