yeah happens a lot more often in zoom though because too many people play strictly premium hands. I usually dont play zoom often but yesterday i had a hand with QQ vs QQ vs AKs (i was one of qq's ofc) and these type of hands happen quite often in zoom... which is one of reasons i dont like zoom, like , at all
in normal cash games, or tourneys, ur QQ is usually good enough to withstand heavy pressure (depending on board texture), and JJ is a premium hand. While in zoom even JJ acts almost like a set mining hand (: plus even positions dont matter that much so i really really dont like zoom. and yet i still keep playing it from time to time :/

Well mate from my point of view there is nothing strange about that first hand. In the early stages of such freerolls there are often people who want to double up quickly and are willing to take the risk or going out early.

Hi
In pokerschool open league, all hands, all boards, all plays and all thing is strange, because 90% the players are just freerolling, or play to have fun, or play whit no stress because if hit the board win and is good, and if lose no problem he dont lose money at all, and the other 10% play to be good, play whit the head, and try to make profit chips and try to make strategie playing there, but is better not cry for that specific tourney, play in another day or another tourney and move on.
