11th place still pays

Came in 11th in the weekly $1000 freeroll. I was short stack and figured pocket queens would be good; big stack to my left had pocket kings and knocked me out. Figures.

There was one hand early on that I made a terrible mistake on. I had AJ suited and limped. I flopped two pair and tried to be tricky by checking. Someone made a straight when a 10 showed up on the turn and raised on me. Instead of folding, I reraised, got raised, called. Rag appeared on the river and I called his all-in like a fool. I instantly went from being 800 above average to 1000 below average. Luckily I got pocket aces a few hands later and was able to save my stack from certain doom.
