To qualify for these special Bad Beat Freerolls simply earn 2,500 comp points in the specified timeframe, and then click-on the register button in the tournament lobby.

Poker and the Gambler’s Fallacy
by Johnny Hughes

“Lying to ourselves is more deeply ingrained than lying to others.”
Fyodor Dostoyevsky

That is why a no limit hold ‘em game starts out slow and tight and picks up steam and gets more money on the table and gets higher as time goes by.
