I have to tell someone that understands poker what happened during a live tournament on Friday night.
I have been playing in this tournament regularly for quite a while.

It is a 150.00 buy-in with 25.00 bounties.
I was down to 7000 chips at 1K/2K
A hand or two before I had folded deuces. Everyone folded to the BB who showed QQ. Phew dodged a bullet there most likely.

A couple hands later I wake up with deuces AGAIN but blinds are going up next hand to 1.5K, 3K so I shove the 7K.
Only one caller this was amazing because a lot of people will call to try to get the bounty.
He had A 8 suited but the deuces held up.
Now I have 17K chips.
a couple hands later I get AK in the BB two limpers. I shove. Up to 23K no callers.
Next hand 22 AGAIN in SB. I just call there were about 5 in the pot. I flop the 2 and check.
BB shoves and another guy calls. I shove back and he has to call for a bit more.
BB has two pair. The other guy has top pair. The set holds up and now I have over 80K chips.
It was quite a run and I got a bounty there too.

I kept having a decent run 55 and hit a set and won a pretty big pot.

I cashed and made the final table. Sadly I did get knocked out before the money got real good but I was and am pretty happy about a decent run after being so short.

P.S.
I got 22 two more times but none as good as hitting that set.
