More freeroll silliness, bar poker special event

I played in a million $ freeroll qualifier yesterday at Paradise, and won a seat. I only had to knock out 1200 of my closest friends to do it. It was a bit of a rush, better than winning that celeb poker qualifier. For the next round, all I have to do is beat 4,490 of my best friends to get to the final table at some undisclosed tropical location. It's not for another 40 days or so, so there wont be any updates about that for a while.

Jenny and I played in the bar league's "Tag Team Tournament". It was a bit odd, but pretty fun. I was playing when we busted, our JJ vs. AK and QQ. There were 2 all in moves in front of us (pre-flop) when I pushed, and I don't know if it was the right thing for me to push there. My reasoning was that there were only 3 hands that had me beat at the moment, had put my opps on drawing hands (Ax) rather than made ones, and was seeing a chance to triple up. Now that I think of it, my odds were not right to make the call. I was thinking I was up against AK and AQ, leaving a total of 8 outs. I had 2 outs (discounting the possibility of runner x4 for a flush), but I thought my hand was the best at the time. As it turns out I needed to catch 1 of 2 Js while dodging 3 As, 3 Ks, and 2 Qs. Still 8 outs to improve the opp, but I had to improve to even have a shot at it.

The more I think about it, the worse the call was. Note to self - don't play JJ with your stack covered with 2 others in the pot. Everyone is an underdog here, and even though you may have the best of it, the odds are not good.
