I posted a hand in the hand devaluation forum where I shoved QQ and tripled up.

Then I get this:

Party, $10 Buy-in (50/100 blinds) No Limit Hold'em Tournament, 9 Players

BB: 1,740 (17.4 bb)
Hero (SB): 2,130 (21.3 bb)
MP1: 2,730 (27.3 bb)
BTN: 2,205 (22.1 bb)
CO: 1,700 (17 bb)
MP3: 3,450 (34.5 bb)
UTG+1: 2,435 (24.4 bb)
UTG+2: 1,790 (17.9 bb)
MP2: 1,820 (18.2 bb)

Preflop: Hero is SB with J:s J:c
6 folds, BTN raises to 300, Hero raises to 2,130 and is all-in, BB folds, BTN calls 1,830

Flop: (4,360) 9:d 7:c J:h (2 players, 1 is all-in)
Turn: (4,360) 8:h (2 players, 1 is all-in)
River: (4,360) 8:c (2 players, 1 is all-in)

Results: 4,360 pot
Final Board: 9:d 7:c J:h 8:h 8:c
Hero showed J:s J:c and lost (-2,130 net)
BTN showed 8:s 8:d and won 4,360 (2,230 net)

This is in a double-or-nothing.
Had an over-all good day, so I just laughed when it happened.

Thinking afterwards, I thought maybe I should have just called, then played post-flop, but the result would have been identical. I'm not folding jacks full of 8s and he is extremely unlikely to fold his trip 8s.

In these situations I'm always thinking it would save me some sweat if the flop came from the second end as in J88. Sick runner runner
