85 left at an 1800 field NL freeroll, 45 spots pay, I'm 41st with an avg. stack of 15K, people going allin with weak hands.

Folded to me in MP, I raise 5K with JJ, blinds at 600-1200, loose LP player raises allin, he has me covered, all fold and it's to me. I call. He shows AQo and draws an A to bust me.

Point my mistakes please. (Asides of wasting my time with freerolls).

Other people will have different views, but pokertracker has taught me that JJ is my worse hand overall.

So I think you have 3 choices here with JJ
1) You know your going to call and all-in, so make him call yours instead of you calls his
2) Limp in and throw it away to an all in
3) Limp in hoping someone does all-in you (slow play) hoping for the 8's to all in you

I dont like the raise you had. If you had 20XBB then I could see playing it like you did, but with a smaller stack you really cant do it that way.
