One of those days today. Had been playing some cash games and couldn't get a made hand to save my life. I then entered the CD poker nightly 10k tourney I was not really doing much but still had 1400 chips just before the first break, when this happened.
8 8 under the gun limp in and get a few callers.
Flop J J 8 just hit the full house. I need some chips so go all in hoping someone had a jack and will call. They did and had J 10 . Brilliant i think until the next card was, you guessed it J . He flopped his 4 of a kind and i get knocked out with a full house.
Only thing I could have done was raise preflop, but I was under the gun!!!

Don't think you did something wrong, what was the other players stack ? I think he would folded if you went all in preflop but why go all-in with a pair of 8's ? nice play bad luck
