right call?

in a freeroll about 40 off the cash bubble which i am not thinking about here except that
at this stage the larger stacks usually don't shove without at least something.
limped in as i'd only just got back before the time ran out. wish it had now!!
i considered folding but believed i had the odds to call.
if i'd won it i would have been in great shape to go very deep.
no real reads on them as i hadn't been at the table that long. people had been folding to the break.

was it a bit loose to call?
given the flush and straight possibilities I'm comfortable with it.
trying to develop tournie play as i don't play many.

    I've done the same, I hate getting a hand straight after the break as I eitherer over or under play them.  The out of position limp seems to have done you as you had no idea where you were. Once the flop came down it's hard to fold especially on a freeroll (although with the next player going all in and the raiser calling, you were only beating chasers and bluffers).  

    This backs up the comments about freerolls being a good practice ground!  You've learnt a lesson and it's cost you nothing but time.

    Looking forward to playing you in a freeroll.

    raise 3500, call any shove

    AQ suited in a freeroll is generally the nuts 99% of the time, post flop shove rather then just call never giving up with but flush/straight draw perfect flop just ul

    All-in preflop (I can't believe nobody raised or shoved pre-flop here, very weak play by all). As played definitely a shove on the flop in any fast structured tournament, especially a freeroll.
