Caboose boy

For me, the most satisfying tournaments are not the ones where I crush opponents. Rather, they're the ones where opponents are crushing me, but somehow, improbably, I survive.

This is an excerpt from my January 15, 2020 post. The most improbable position to survive is when you're in last place in a tournament; Caboose Boy is my nickname for myself whenever I'm in this position. Last night, I had a decent stack when the money bubble burst, but fairly soon became Caboose Boy. When I was dealt pocket sixes shortly after that, I knew my best chance was to shove. I got two callers, and my sixes held up, thanks in part due to the fact that both of the callers had been dealt an ace, making it harder for either of them to pair it.
