merianborkow!!! Do NOT put your whole stack up on a pair of 3´s! EVER!
Don´t know if you went all-in pre-flop with those 3´s...but DON´T! It´s garbage. Even if you went all-in after the flop....it´s garbage! 222nd place, lots of time to build up a stack (unless it was the Sunday Million ).
Pairing 3´s is a losing hand. You get beat by everyone holding more than a 2 and pairing the board (3 to 1) + anyone else holding paired hole cards. Just don´t do it, ok? it´s a losing hand from the get-go.

Hope you did well Merian I went out on the bubble in that BRM tourney! Noone to blame but myself, well I could complain about the guy shovin w QJoff, but what's the point? Well back to the old drawing board, GL out there Mobster's! Make that

Good luck and I hope that you will make it to the final table. The freerolls are nice to play for fun, because there are a lot of donks in them. May the flop be with you !

That´s about it! It´s a garbage hand. But most of all, it´s a dangerous hand.
A lot of people don´t seem to get this, but what if you hit the A and someone else raises or calls you? Anyone else holding an A is going to beat you. So you can´t really call a re-raise or anything.
Very dangerous and basically unplayable hand profitably.
