You get a great diversity of players in the freerolls which makes it quite challenging to win but the best part is not the money its the 1st place ribbon by your avatar. knowing you can take on a field of 1500 or more and be number 1 is a good feeling. It is also great practice for seeing lots of hands played out and different players playing them. It all boils down to a difficult to win situation. And you can brag about being the best and take that confidence with you to the WSOP, maybe...
