Responses appreciated. 
I just finished up a "double or nothing" game where betting gets the respect it deserves. Very few "all-in's" pre-flop but because the stacks are so small and the betting rounds so fast you cannot wait for good cards as you would in a normal game. Intimidation does not work so well in these games.

Regarding the free rolls and low limit games, I have seen major bets made with marginal hands in many of the larger stakes games because every edge counts. When you see Jack high or Ten high win (or similar) during these games you know you won't last long waiting for good cards. It's one thing when a few yo-yo's shove all in too frequently and it's another when you have everyone at the table taking their shot.

Like a massive traffic collision occurring in front of you (at least 4 all-in's) if you make the correct read and assuming everyone is holding at least a high pair..then they are holding each other's outs. Making a small set monster or hitting suited connectors becomes far more probable...(work it out with suitable software)...and you aim straight for the middle of that collision because once everyone impacts you should (it's not a guarantee) pass through unscathed.
