I partly agree. Many players bluff more often in freerolls because there's little or no financial risk, so they're willing to gamble. However, excessive bluffing is rarely profitable because too many opponents are "calling stations" and will call with very weak hands. In my experience, value betting strong hands and choosing very selective bluff spots is a much more effective strategy than trying to bluff every other pot.

Personally I avoid bluffing in freerolls because I don't know my opponents. In real money games where I have my notes and my labels I do it.

I agree to an extent. In freerolls, a lot of players bluff too often because they have nothing to lose. That said, I've also seen plenty of players who never bluff at all. It really depends on the player, but in general, freerolls do seem to encourage more reckless play.
