Re: rookie freerolls
Because I'm a poor college kid, and recently went busto, I had to resort to playing these freerolls, and did very well playing ABC poker. I would bluff maybe twice during the usual 6 hour event, and it was only when I was very confident that the other player was weak. These can be very good learning opportunities if you stay pretty tight the first hour, and then start playing looser (but smarter) after that. Surprisingly, a lot of people are scared of putting their whole stack at risk when they've invested over an hour of their time. So value bet, value bet, value bet! Use these tourneys to learn how to play correctly, and not use them as gimmicks.
As for finishes, I hit 2nd, 4th, 12th, 25th, and 44th, for a total of $29, which was enough to get me back playing real games.
