yeah, freeroll with a lot participant. We couldn't guarantee all of them will play seriously.Many of them just try get miracle and will play serious when they collect big chips. That's strategy, too . Just don't play freeroll to much.Much better invest $50 - $100, and play medium buy in
ya they are hard to go deep theres alot of players in these freerolls or a simple 25$ pay out field people tend to no care and call with anything and donk out on you alot. i dont play these freeroll much anymore because of the field of people and the way they play.

This is standard play
bigstacks call the BB, rioflush goes allin (he s shortstack) and you call the allin But the stacksize of the 2 of you was to small to drive the bigstacks away.
The bigstacks only have to add 1/2 blind to join.
When you have AA versus 5 players, the chances of winning the hand ghet smaller.
As you see, there was a flush and a tris of J's that got better than your aces.
