Hmmmmm opponent doesn't have the odds to call this as he's drawing to 6 outs (ignoring back door flush) but he has committed almost 1/3 of his stack so he may feel pot committed. The preflop limp/call was loose so hopefully you had a read. His flop bet was weak so I can see how you didn't put him on AQ/AA/KK/QQ so your shove was a good play at that point.

I'm not a fan of the weak pre-flop line either - but if it's based on a read on the player then all well and good I guess.

On the flop, it was villain who made a bad call.

To expand on why we say (assuming Oz has the same reasoning as I) the limp/call line is bad is that if you are prepared to call a raise on the flop with your hand you are much better off to do the raise yourself. The passive line of limp/call really narrows your range for your opponents.

I wouldn't take the "idiot" thing presonally from the hand first of all, because before the flop the same "idiot caller" was calling someone else idiots. (I have a friend who acts the same way when he loses any hand)
His call on the flop was certainly loose and a bit ridiculous imo, but then again, it's a freeroll. I play them sometimes, as wel all do/have and play can be SO terrible, especially in ones that max out at 10k players plus and fill up. because of this I recommend avoiding kq off in a micro or freeroll, especially when there are so many limpers; but then you raised preflop. even if you'd put all your chips in first after the flop these 4 out lovers won't fold for a tornado coming at their livelyhood. (can you tell I've had this happen to me alot also?)

I am puzzled at this sort of play at that blind level, and you both had similar chip stacks. The guy must have been quite lucky...well, still was...yet still had the double up or lose attitude. (hey, it's only a freeroll right? who cares about the others that expect or want some decent play...)
The only freerolls I bother playing now are cardschat freerolls, play is certainly much better.
