Gone in 60 seconds, well that’s what it felt like.

I’m FreeZey.
These two hands took me out. I was wondering what you thought. I’m not too bothered about the first one, but the second one is grating on my nerves a bit.

Now I know that all-in raise probably seemed pretty crazy but I’d seen this guy do some mad bluffs/calls. Here’s an earlier example of cookbanks play.

I shouldn’t have got into an all-in situation that early in the tourney but some of the play was just crazy and I wanted to pick up some chips.
I lost patience and paid the price Sad

With a set of Jacks and that board, I have no problem with an "all-in" bet there. Thats a tough beat.

Hand 5, treat your trip Jacks like a one pair hand. If you're getting action play it the same way you would w/one pair of jacks w/ a king kicker.
