Take chances early with premium hands or flopped draws. Doubling or tripling up early is a big advantage.
The most skilled player will win more of these than unskilled, but these truly are luckfests.

Pretty much all true IME.

Yeah, I had some time to waste yesterday and played 6 of these crazy-fests. Ended up placing 7-5-3-8-4-3, so no cigar. Major suck-outs! Hach, you said you played 31 and won 7, that sounds about right.

There was at least one all-in on the first hand in all 5 tourneys. Once we had 5 people all in, 4 went out the first hand. Another we had 4 all-ins, 3 went out. Just crazy man, as expected. But as long as they are free, WTF....I've got tons of FPPs I never use.

Edit: just had to show... Each of these All-Ins was on the FIRST HAND of a tourney:

[2c Ks] [9s Kc] [Jh As] - AJ won

[Ad Qh] [As 8s] [Qs Qc] [7h Ah] - QQ won

[5d 6s] [Qc Jc] - 5-6 won

[As Kh] [Jc Ks] [Qs Qd] [Ah 5c] [8d Kd] - KJ won
