Only a good thing if your willing to gamble. Set guidelines for yourself so you dont do this. freerolls are tough until the donks are gone. Dont be shy to fold monster hands in the first couple rounds especially if you want to win. You can make up for it in the later rounds. Rememer patience and well timed aggression win every time!!!
If you want to be a champion, you have to gamble.
But scenario above, youre ahead preflop. Ill take that opportunity since its not coinflip. If I lose, thats poker.
