The runt of the litter

One of the most satisfying ways to win a poker tournament is to come from behind. When you're the smallest stack at some point during three-handed play, and come back to win, it feels great. The runt of the litter becomes the top dog :-) That's what happened to me in the only sit and go I entered last night. There were 35 three-handed hands; I was the runt of the litter at the start of 11 of them. This inspired me to check the archives to see how often I've had this kind of a comeback. Drumroll, please...

In 224 first place finishes, I've started at least one hand during three-handed play as the runt of the litter 31 times.
