OK, good stuff guys, keep it coming. As for me, in the big public ones, I generally go all in several times in the first few dozen hands looking for at least 3 double ups. I usually fail, and so it's on to the next big freeroll. But every 10 or so, I actually get a huge stack and I stick around a play it aggressively for an hour or so. If after that hour I have been able to accumulate even more chips, I will take the freeroll seriously and try to win money. This has saved me A LOT of time. I really only play 3-5 big public freerolls per week now in a serious way, but those 3-5 I always have a huge stack and a legitimate chance of winning after a couple hours of play. Private freerolls I treat like my real money games, playing tight and aggressive when I hit my hands.
