I have almost accepted the bad beats and try to not say anything to them in hopes they play the same bad way next time.

just remember that if you are going all in pre flop there is always going to be someone chasing you......maybe you should reconsider the ammount that you bet....cowboys are a great hand but any ace beats it

These kind of things happen on free tournaments usually, there's always going to be someone that calls you with seemingly nothing but hopes to hit something on the turn. So don't worry too much it will continue happening until you play these tournaments Besides even in the normal tournaments people often bluff you and out of nothing hit the card they need.

some people just dont know percentages and they call like you said with a prayer or actually feeling like the club will come because it usually does online

It happens because some people feel vindicated by actually sucking out rather than being patient and playing solid poker.

Some people do consider that since this is a free game they just don't care and don't bother to play for real.

having an A over being suited, still beats KK about 1/3 of the time. Cards are dirty. That's why I don't like playing against maniacal freeroll players. All you can do is recognize they are an idiot, you did nothing wrong, and move on knowing in the long run, the luck will ride itself out more fairly.
