This is a completely uninformed and wrong statement.
The Horseshoe clocks players out when they stand up. If you go there and notice that the red lights on the electronic display are flashing, it means that a dealer has clocked the person out. Dealers are impressively vigilant about clocking players out when they leave for even a few minutes.
Everyone who played their hours had their asses in their seats for the full time.
Also, as to your nittiness trick, If you sit back and wait for AA/KK, you are not going to be a winning player and will lose more in EV than you will gain from the freeroll EV. Even if it's not -EV (which I am pretty convinced it is), I'm fine with playing with these guys - it's not like they're breaking the rules or anything.

You must be a player who has witnessed a dealer who was over zealous. My observance has been the dealer hits the button when a player misses a blind. Otherwise, every time a player just stood up and answered the phone or walked away for a few seconds they would be hitting that button. They would be hitting the button quite often.
There is a lot of inconsistency with hitting that button. I know - I witnessed it.
There is a lot of inconsistency with third man walking also.

Obviously one of the people who was busy using this strategy to get more hours logged.
I'm not stating informed factual horseshoe SOP data here, just what I saw playing on what happened to be the last night of the freeroll. I was perfectly happy being at a table with several of these guys though. Its not a problem to me, I just thought it was comical that people were willing to go to great lengths to do this. I wish it would happen more often, it was like playing 6-max live most of the time which is good for me.

Sweet justice! How big was the jackpot? How ****ed off was the guy who fell asleep? I can just picture this guy waking up to the bad news as everyone is high-fiving each other and laughing.
