So on a last minute whim, I decided to play the $5,000 Cash Booster over on PP... Turned out to be a good choice...!
A few hands in I doubled up to about 6,000 chips,....then a few hands later picked up another 3,000 chips... After that I was just floating along winning a few small ones here and there... Stack up to about 15,000 chips...
The blinds were getting big,...and on one hand everybody folded,...and I picked up the big blind and the antes,...and to my surprise, and with NO effort,...found myself sitting pretty with about 29,000 chips and going deep...
Then a dry spell set in....didn't get much for quite a while...
Then,...an opportunity came up when I got J J, but the big and small blinds were on a couple of big stackers about 4 or 5 to my left. They had about 200,000 chips each to my 30,000... I wanted to play them,...but thinking of all the disasters I've had with jacks before, I folded...
All undercards came on the flop,...but there was a pair of 8s... The big stackers kept raising...so I don't know what the outcome would have been for me... I regretted not shoving after the fact...
Long story short.... went on to finish in about 125th place out of over 7,550 for a tidy little payoff of $5 even... Not a BIG payoff for going SO deep,...but hey,...I'll take it...!
Not only THAT,...but ALL day long I've been just KILLING them $15 freebies...
Won a $1 entry tic,...2 .50c entry tics,...3 or 4 .20c entry tics,... T$ .50c and .20c a few each,...and .50c & .20c real cash prizes a few each of too...
Really cleaned up on Party today,...BUT,...got hammered out of 4 of 5 of the FT/BrM tourneys... I'm in the last one of the day, and am KILLING THAT one...! Be nice to make a final table and deeply,...gotta catch up with that WABBIT...
Congrats. You had a nice weekend indeed. Yeah JJ is tricky, many people playing them out carefully cuz as you stated you need some undercards to make sure you could start building a pot with them. But after you enter the 'desert of cards' at one point of a tourey (its happening to everyone) a pair of Jacks could be a nice sip of water in the middle of it. I probably shoved too, but again, I did not had a succesfull weekend as you did.

You really are doing well in these freerolls and kudos to you. I have been playing the $15 coinflip tournament where every player is all in. I reached the final table once but my Ace King didnt hold up and i came second

You've been doing well on partypoker, those tourney tickets and tourney bucks must be really adding up, it's good to hang on to all those winnings, so that you can use them when the gravy train runs out. I can't see partypoker running these freerolls for much longer.
Congratz on the deep run on Party Pooper i played that 5K Booster Free roll went out early my 2 pair was no good lost too the nut straight always hard too fold those pocket Jacks Pre-flop although i did crack QQ in one of the Full Tilt Leader board free rolls

Did you notice me yaking at you at a Full Tilt table today... I had about $9,800 in chips and thought I might be going deep,...but in about position 70 in the money,...some knucklehead mofo called my AA all in with his measly 4 2 off and clobbered me with a straight.... OUT...
