So playing in the bankroll mob freerolls. First hand pick up AA, someone goes all in I call, one other caller. 8 10 offsuit v j 9 offsuit v AA. Needless to say 8 10 won with a straight and yet again I am victim to a donk! So bankrollmob, instead of offering free bankrolls, freerolls etc. How about some Poker coaching for those who don't really understand poker?
Would just be nice to progress without an idiot donking everyone out of the tournament. Maybe it's just because it's on PartyPoker home of the bad beat

So let me get this straight. You don't want people to go all in with s**t against your AA? You'd rather other players would play well against you. Just cos you lost this one time doesn't mean you don't want this sort of idiot play. Yes it's annoying but longterm you're laughing. And blaming the affiliate site for the bad beat. That's a new one. So you lost a freeroll? Get over it.

in any freeroll and a lot of tournaments for that matter first couple of hands are erratic play, 2 choices , play tight look for little wins dont risk your stack against bigger ones, or another choice gamble early with any crappy hand, triple or quadruple your stack and then wait untill all the other donks knock themselves out andthen play for the money. IF ITS A FREEROLL NO ONE GOT NOTHING TO LOOSE. lost count of the times been robbed of the money in freerolls on the button by crappy hands v KK or AA. Live And Learn

Sorry but when I play a freeroll, with huge amounts of players requiring hours of time, I will go all in during the early stages with any pocket pair 88 or better, and AJo or better. If I double up or triple up I am sure to go deep and it becomes somewhat worth the time, and if I bust I go do something else. T8o is pretty bad but what can I say, I have seen far worse all ins during freeroll win the pot.

No matter what you do, no matter how many you can teach, there will be always donks. You cant change that. Nor the fact that from time to time and occasionally even more you will lose from such players. I know it gets frustrating losing you AA like that, but you lost it from 8T. With this hand you can say he has a chance for a straight. But when you get called with 82 off and he gets set of 2's then its lol

So annoying
This promo just started....so it´s going to get worse.
Don´t mean to laugh it off, but you have to play these SUPER tight, or like mahdrof says, try to double/triple up quick.
Of course losing with AA is never fun. And it´s even less fun when you´re called with weak hands. I won´t say "garbage", because you´ll see alot worse than that calling your all-in in the freerolls.

Like other people here already told before: ITS FREEROLL! And with very small prize. For example I like to participate just because it is Bankrollmob thing and I cant allow myself to lose much time on them. So I will probably go all in with KQ early or something like that and if I double up then I will maybe play to win. And I will expect to be called with worse. But I noticed that bubble play is very serious! I mean, bubble time lasted longer then in some 11$ BI that I played. So very good for practice and they are not donkaments like Full tilt ones at all!

I agree that freerolls are waytoo crazy for my taste and as you know many go all in with every hand, if they have luck and double up is good, if not they have nothing to lose...
If you are a cash games player plying tournaments you could be surprised with what hands you get a call...
Still, there are people that really know hoe to play these freerolls
Name and shame - kudzso2, Im short stack with kq off, go all in for 2100 chips, called by 3 2 diamonds by this tube. Needless to say i hit str he hits flush on river. Yet another bankrollmob donk
