    Roughly, I think it's a free chance at something.

    In that context a freeroll tournament is a free entry into a tournament given to frequent players or a special tournament exclusivly for the regulars.

    In the context of a hand, it's having a strong hand with a draw (freeroll) to an even stronger hand. In Omaha HiLo, I think it when you have one nut and a draw to another nut, allowing you to push the betting knowing at worst you'll split the pot.

    On hold'em it sometimes comes up. For example:

    I have:
    Ks Ts

    You have:
    Ad Kc

    Board is:
    As Qc Js Td

    I have a "freeroll" from the nut straight to the nut flush.
