There were all kinds of possible hand sthat could have been "freerolling" there, OR had great draws to at least 1/2 of the pot IMO. That's what you get for playing a terrible hand I guess...

Would you normally call with that flop? It looks like you have only one really solid out in the ace.

Who paid you off big time last night? We tended to play too looooose at the LPs when we are winning. :)Oh, I saw, the freeroller became freerollee, the flush didn't get there....

I dont think this is a legitimate freeroll, bc oftentimes you're not freerolling. There are quite a few situations where your opponents have better draws to the high as well as the nut low. A23x is definitely possible. There's no reason to make that call preflop. I know you realize that chip stack in a cash game means very little.
