JJ no good

Sunday: +$1126.85
I played a total of 9 tables today and I'll take you through each one of them individually, in chronological order:
1. CelebPoker $3/6 shorthanded cash game - In one hour I went on an amazing run, and played very well on top of that. +$940.50
2. CelebPoker €3/6 shorthanded cash game - I played this one parallel to the other table because the table was very juicy. Converted into dollars I came out up +$530.35
3. CelebPoker $109 SNG - 3rd place, after a very unfortunate situation. Would rather not talk about this one, but one person (no names) knows what he did to me was pretty f***ed up. +$91
4. CelebPoker $55 SNG - Built up a nice stack but lost it all again before I was ITM. Too bad. -$55
5. CelebPoker $109 SNG - Honestly can't remember this one, but I think I might have bubbled. Couldn't have been that bad otherwise I would remember it. -$109
6. Bodog $100k Guaranteed - Shortly after entering the 2nd hour of play, I was kicked out when my JJ met someone's AK. The flop brought a self-explanatory ace. -$109
7. CelebPoker League Double Points Sunday - To my own surprise, I made it all the way to heads up! I had my opponent all in many times, and he was hitting wonder cards. It was really amazing. Anyway, I came in 2nd. Very good because I collected some serious points for the leaderboard. +$86
8. CelebPoker $8k guaranteed - Wow. I bubbled this tournament after 3 hours of play with JJ. I flopped a full house only to discover that I was drawing dead. A full description of the hand can be found here. This one really shocked me. Place 31. Ouch. -$33
9. Pokerstars $1,000,000 Guaranteed - After 2 1/2 hours I had to call it quits when my JJ was unable to beat AJo all in preflop. I had a nice stack, and it would have been even nicer if an ace didn't fall on the flop. Pretty disappointing, I finished in place 1100 something (top 750 get paid). -$215

Did anyone notice the trend? I got knocked out of all three significant MTTs with JJ. JJ is a very tricky hand to play sometimes. However, I stand my all my decisions and would do them again if the opportunity arose. I can still be happy with today's result, those cash games winnings really gave a boost to my day!
