One hand nets Top 7% Placing
Last night I was playing in a 6000 player freeroll on PartyPoker. Second hand in, I got AQ of hearts and simply called to try and build up the pot.
The BB went all in. I was tired and was willing to bust-out if it meant I got to go to bed. It's folded around to me, I call all in, and the BB shows JcJd. The flop cam As Qc Th giving me top two pair over his J's. The Jack of hearts came on the turn, giving him a set but me the flush and fullhouse draw.
Of course the 8h came on the river giving me the flush and busting him out.
Nothing playable came my way for the next five hands and suddenly I found myself disconnected. My internet connection had totally sucked out on me.
Frustrated, I went to bed, only to wake up this morning and find out I'd placed 423rd out of 6000. That's better than I've faired in any large tournament so far. I'm not sure if I should be happy or sad.

I'll never understand why anyone would play in those Stars freerolls that have 6K people... 12 hours of play to win a ticket into a tournament with a $100 prize pool..
If you are looking for a half decent freeroll site (play-wise not $$ wise) then www.jetsetpoker.com is a good place. 500 max and the players seem to be better than most other freerollers out there..
