Full Freeroll Registration < 60 Seconds

I just signed into my first free roll tournament at Full Tilt for my experiment. It took less then 60 seconds for the maximum number of entrants (2700) to be reached. Now I just have to wait 40 minutes for the tournament to start...

I played solid throughout the tournament. I should have played a pocket pair of nines in early position. Would have tripled up against two high aces.

Had AK in middle position. Raised 3X BB. (This was fourth hand that I raised pre-flop.)
Two callers.

Flop 5-A-2

I bet out 3/4 of the pot and was re-raised by the button. No need to wait for something better as only 1% are paid. Called and was against A5 (two pair). No help on turn and river.

30 minutes and I played OK. I could have easily been up against a bluff (considering the four hands earlier) a weaker kicker such as AJ or AQ and I still technically had 6 outs on the turn. Later on in the tournament, near the money I may have laid it down but I'd rather have lots of chips early on in a free roll then spend too much time waiting for monster hands.
