Was playing the sunday $50 freeroll (could have won $11,50!) and I went all-in with KA suited, some stupid player calls all-in with 27 off!!! WTF!!! the flop: 789 (rainbow, no flush possible). He gets a pair! Still 6 outs... turn 2, river another 7!!!

And then they say 72 is the worst hand in poker Probably he was one of them that doesnt like statistics. How many chips he had either way.Cause many of the big stacks dont care at a,ll and call with any hands.

You have good reason to be anoyed there are so many peoples that dont know what poker is and they play freeroll calling everything to see if they are lucky.You probably saw peoples saying its a freeroll like it was not poker.

What if i tell you that going all in pre flop should eliminate limpers and give you more win probabiliyies.

This is a regular run of the mill freerollbad beat. These tournaments are played by a lot of people who just go all in no matter what. I enjoy playing the freerolls but only after the all in merchants have been eliminated.

It's a freeroll and i have just learned to deal with the stupidity, I watched one guy Last night on a ps freeroll mouth off to everyone and he was gettin lucky, well his luck caught u With him right at the bubble, I managed 260th out of 8800. I will play the 7/2 hands When position is right and timing and take a risk and many times my crap hands will crack the donks

I totally agree that is really annoying . You do not mention stack sizes and in what stage(blinds level) tournament was. Personally I only would call ,while holding 2 7 , if I would have to just add 1.5 or 2 big blinds and would commit ten percent or less of my stack. The reason that these idiots call with total rubbish hands is that they believe (and they are right ) that every big stack will absorb smaller stack. In these freerolls I have NEVER see the biggest stack to be a tight (aggressive or passive ) player. Every time with the audacity and arrogance of biggest stack ,they call you every single time with nothing on hand. But in the end better call us with 7 2 than high pairs ,ha?
Probably he was one of them
