To be perfectly honest, these $100 freerolls are hardly worth analysing. It's NO Limit, yet the action goes - UTG Min raise, fold, fold, Min re-raise, Call, Call.

What have the 4 players got? God knows! Why didn't UTG who apparently had a hand good enough to raise from early position re-reraise when action got back round to them. Why did 2 players call 240 chips when initial raiser had chance to act again? Why min raise an UTG raiser?

None of this hand makes any sense. You could have best hand, you could be up against AA, KK and QQ. Who knows.

To a UTG raise and MP reraise, drop those tens like a ... Well it doesn't matter like what, but a good fold, you would be set mining in that spot and you don't want to make a habit of calling three bets to do so.

It's a Freeroll....MEH!!

I think it was a good fold. Too many things could have you beat with 2 over cards on the board eevn on the flop. Also, you faced a raise, a reraise and 3 calls so someone has you beat right there. Need a group 1 hand to even continue with the callers even if it is a freeroll.

I actually like calling in position here if you're deep stacked. You're not in position or deep stacked. The only reason to call here is to try and hit a ten on the flop. This means you need to be able to reliably win several times the bet you are facing after you hit your ten. You only have another 1300-ish after making the call, which isn't enough, IMO.

exactly.... Imo, you can't play mid pairs in these things because you'll get called down by multiple donkeys holding a paint + rag... then when you are up against 3 other hands (not in this case, but often happens a lot), your opponents will hit their paint.

Good fold, imo. Too many callers to overvalue a mid-pair.
