Play tight and pretty much be willing to go all the way with like top pair and a good kicker. They will call and raise with nothing early. Its when you get 2-3 hours in that the competition gets decent, except for some of the maniacs who somehow manage to squeak through.

exactly, its almost IMO like you play 3 seperate gears in those huge NL freerolls. I try to get some chips early, without putting much at risk. I mean the first 2 or 3 levels when the blinds are real low, and just trying to pick up a few hundred chips or so, not even trying to double up. then I really play tight, and let the idiots kill themselves for awhile, and only play truly premium hands. then when you get down toward the end, then you've gotta try to play the comlete game.

Finally finished in one of those pokerchamps freerolls last night, 17 / 500. Now that they limit it to 500, its much easier than the 900 player games from before. I signed up for the one at 1:30, not sure if I wanted to play, but stuck it out and placed. Feels good .

Are they still all only for $10 and $20? Its better than nothing of course, so for beginners ok, but really, are those really worth it?

I don't think they're capping all of the freerolls at PokerChamps. I'm playing in the 11:30 right now and theres 587 people registered.

They shifted caps up to 700 now, but theyre still capped.

I personally like the caps. Because I don't mind registering a little in advance, and it gives you a better shot at the money

They used to be $10 when it was in beta, but only top three paid ($5, $3, $2) now they have spread it out over 20 places. 20th pays $.25, 1st pays $4.
