I tried the Million Dollar Paradise Freeroll for a change of pace. About 2,700 players and top 9 get to play in the Million Dollar Thing.
I went out 22nd when I put in 75,000 in chips with 2 queens and it came around to the big blind and he called with 2 10's.

The Ending
When you play a 3,500 player freeroll the odds are against you, or anyone, finishing in the top 50.
I'm sure the player yesterday going all-in every hand went busted eventually. It was a stupid strategy. He gets the blinds until a player wakes up with a hand and then most likely he loses a huge stack of chips. You simply cannot win with that strategy. He happened to knock me out when I was a big favorite.
So these posts end up turning into bad beat woes, but really the attempt is to document what happened. I know there is an end to tournaments and after playing a bunch of hands I will most likey go out having a good hand. Ironically the one time I went all-in as an underdog I happened to hit the nut flush on the turn and turned into a big favorite, only to lose when the board paired on the river.
With so many clowns and careless aggressive players in these freerolls it is kind of a joke, a lottery more than anything else. I'm sure that is how Party likes it. The less skill involved in the game the better off Party will be.
Playing ring games for a long time I know there is no end to these games, the bad beats happen, but they are not final.
A tournament has a beginning and an end so that is what is harder to swallow. If I played 50 tournaments a day I would at least get some positive reinforcement occassionally - hopefully.
But the ring games go on with no end.
I won a little bit playing a few sit and go's yesterday and cashed out of Party.
