Freerolls are terrible

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.

I play freerolls to either try out new games (such as O8 on Planet) or to try out different styles of playing. If you enter them thinking you can beat the fishes that hold any crappy cards, you'll end up frustrated and pissed off.

I played a freeroll and this one guy was going all in everysingle hand, he actually go very lucky and lasted for a couple hours. He even eliminated me with a 4 7 offsuit to my AK, he got trip 4's.
