An escape velocity win in a poker tournament is when you min cash with virtually no chips - just enough to fold your way into the money. That's what I did last night; when the money bubble burst, I had just 42 chips to my name.
This is an excerpt from my October 19, 2020 post. Last night I had an escape velocity win in the second tournament I entered. When the money bubble burst, I had just 20 chips to my name. This good luck made up for the bad luck I had in the first tournament I entered, when I hit the rail after being an 80% favorite after the turn.
