Well, if that tournament hasnt a drawback in terms of points, then it wouldnt be a bad idea playing them. Not the best pair but a very good one. And in a freeroll it is a good hand for an all in preflop. But i can understand your decision

Hi mate.
Like mober said, play in a freeroll any pocket pair is good to allin preflop, but in any tournament with buy.in is good too, but we have to see how the table are, and how many players are in the pot to make a good and razonable decision. But if you had a few pocket pair that give you wrong and losed chips you may right for a while forget that kind of hands, but you have to see the table, the players, and do not play just because in a few hands ago havent get luck.
