Freerolls are kinda crazy. You have to expect any player to play any two cards! Thats why the 1st hour of freerolls just sitout or play prem hands only. No need to slow play hands in most freerolls you will always get a call.

Agreed, don't waste your time with freerolls. Unless you come top 3, there really isn't a point, and they can drag for hours. This is why you will always see people going all-in first hand in one of them.

Just for kicks, I like to build a 3-4 thousand stack and then play like a maniac...

but....why? its like playing basketball with a bunch of 1st graders, but you can only shoot with 1 hand

You should see listen to them squeel!
You flash 2-8 offsuit at them after going all in on the turn of a board showing:
Ac-Kc-10d-10c and no one calls.... they scream.... if you hit a hand with 5-10o/s and win they scream bloody murder..... It's hilarious!
Doesn't cost you anything but time.

Besides, I quit playing basketball with 1st graders because they always win...
I think the tall one was on steroids.
