What you are saying is very true but we still play them because they are free and we should still feel like we are at advantage even more so then a normal tournament. If we know others are taking big chances we have to accept that we lose at times when we have 70% equity in a hand but at the same time, are we going to turn down that 70% chance at doubling up because we will lose 30% of the time? We shouldn't be, especially in free tournaments. We should be encouraging the lunatics to play the way they do and try to take advantage of it. This is not easy to swallow because I have been there too when I want to punch a hole in the wall because some dolt cold called my pre flop 3 bet with 93 off and then flops it but we need this to profit in the long run. Safe to assume all of our good tournament finishes have come because someone somewhere along the line, made a call that they shouldn't have and the chips were pushed in our direction.
