Double fall in

To quote from my March 18, 2014 post "The fall in":

There are three ways of having all your chips go into the middle:
1. the all in
2. the call in
3. the fall in


The all in is when the action is on you and you decide to put all your chips in the middle. The call in is when the action is on you and someone who bet before you bet big enough to put you all in if you call, and you decide to call. The fall in is when you're in the small blind or the big blind, and are so short-stacked that the forced bet puts you all in. You want to avoid the fall in at all costs, since it removes all decision-making from you.

Last night, in the second tournament I played, I had two fall ins in a row, and was lucky enough to win both of them. Of course, it's pretty much a foregone conclusion that you're not going to win a tournament after falling in. I didn't, but had the good fortune to have made it to heads up play before falling in, so I was still able to make a profit on the tournament.
