What a cruel way to go out. The curse of Pocket Jacks strikes again!!! There are only three ways to play Pocket Jacks and they are all wrong! Seriously though, well done for getting so far in the tournament

Gratz, over 30 bucks was a nice extra cash. Their are a lot of nice freerolls at 888. poker in the last time. And this was a good Chance to rebuild a bankroll for the Christmas time and a new year challenge.

I have to agree with this. JJ is the hand I lose 99% of the time with. Even pushing in late position and getting called by one person will still probably get you a loss. You still think of JJ as a decent starting hand though regardless of all that.

pocket jj`s turned often into a truble hand for me as well .but in this particular hand it doesn`t matter ! you could have pocket aa`s and you still loose the hand aginst the set.thats the way it goes and folding the jj`s on a dry board aginst on opponent no option most of the time.

Hope you made the Ft at least.
44th for $31.50
Raised pretty big with JJ, called by 22 and he hits a set of 2s
Nasty way to go out but also consolation knowing that you had the best hand to start with and in most situations have the other dude crushed. Better luck next time.

I see you didnt manage to reach the final table but you got a good result and payout. Pocket Jacks are a nightmare for me. I have a terrible history with them. I hope you will get more lucky in the next ones.Good luck.
