i belive i placed 34th in that same tourney joe. it was a 30/3 at party 2 nights ago i belive and there was just over 1000 people. good job for your first, i actually folded JJ once when on the bubble raise and reraise, guy had KK andother had !10 10 so it was a good play, on the bubble, i was bigblind and had AQ, some guy raised big to 2200 i had 9000 chips he had 9000 chips, so i call, flop Q, 6 2, i raise 1000 he goes all in, only hand i was worried about was KK but he had JJ and i took it down, so JJ aint all it cracked up to be. but in your case you made the right read and just got outdrawn same happened to me with 99 vs 44 in a huge $250,000 multi right on the bubble, if i double up i am top 15 in chips as i was already nice size stack, and was up against chip leader.
