LIMP

Why do most members who play freerolls continue to limp 100% even though there are hundreds of posts here helping them evolve from the basics of the game?

because they are afraid of a return push, get off with a slight fright, or vice versa, there is a monster in the hands, and someone raises them to their limp, they will immediately launch it.
that's all the hell out of a penny)
good luck at the tables)))

Fear to lose chips hahaha

No confidence and not knowing what to do.
No real game plan only a hand they think it is nice looking, no matter what positon or stack size they have and what is a hand they should play there and so on.

i often wonder the same thing, unless they are trapping, in which case it rarely works.

Because they play poker like bingo and limping is the cheapest way to get a bingo ticket to the flop, they continue that way because it requires effort to improve beyond clicking buttons for fun.

COME ON it sounds like all of you got caught when someone limped and you lost big ... i have been using limping as a strategy like when i have pocket ACES so I can see if anyone has a decent hand so I don't show my hand ...if i came out with a big bet the table will fold and i get nothing but if there is a player who thinks they have a winning hand i got them!!!

Unable to wrap their heads around very basic poker theory... keeping themselves from winning & getting better at the game.

The OP post didn't ask about occasional limping to trap (or other profitable limping situations)..

IMO this is a false sentence. From time to time someone limps, yes, just like in any other freerolls, or any other non-freeroll micro stakes torurnament, or any micro stakes cash game. If you go to the casino and play 1/2 or 1/3 guess what? You will encounter limps as well. It just happens. Yes, it is a mistake but stating about "most" and "100%" is a big exaggeration.
