Freerolls are not a complete waste of time. The first hour is typically very loose since people are trying to accumulate chips and take greater risks with the low blinds. Still, it takes skill to ultimately win a freeroll. On yesterday, I played a $25 freeroll with 826 and won the tournament. True, I had the chip lead at my tables the majority of the time and the overall chip lead with 60 or so left before nearly imploding at the final table. There, I was 5 out of 6 after tough beats and a loose call or two and was able to get heads up after cracking aces with a river flush. Then, I overcame a 3-1 chip deficit and hit a set against top pair on the final hand, winning $5.88. So, with tight, solid play and a few breaks and bluffs, you can be sucessful in freerolls.
