Freeroll Strategy?

[macmuckalot]

Have you ever noticed in free rolls that the pre flop play is usually limp or all in? try raising a good percentage of your chip stack with a good ace or small pocket pair instead of going all in. That tells people your stronger then if you just go all in. If you hit the flop check, if you miss. bet the same amount you raised with, that usually works.

It might work, but the amount of stupid people playing puclic free turneys are just to high, they will call or raise with anything just do fish it in

I once played a freeroll satellite where I went all-in before the flop every hand. I was called about 1/3rd of the time. I lasted 30+ mins and I lost with the best hand.

I play a lot of freerolls and if I did not double my stack between the first ten hands i probably play tight. In the early stage you see a lot of players going all inn or betting and bluffing, that's the time to get the chips. After all why do you invest your time on a freeroll? To earn some money, it's just like a company, you invest to make profit

i Think you have to try and double up within first 30 minutes depending on blinds ect but i usually end up getting beat with the best hand.

macmuckalot good strategy but i tend to find first 10 minutes about 20-25% of ppl just call in all so they can double up quick.

luck > strategy in freerolls

Sometimes i use this strategy,

Only play high cards and suited connecters, wait till the flop is right and try an all in or a medium raise if ur very confident in winning this hand. If u have high stack try bluffing more often, i must tell u need balls to raise with bad cards..

i think you should do as u said.. Fold with bad hands or just call bb with OK hands. If you got something GREAT go all in without hesitate.. Just in the start though

It does usually work cause i play that way. when you jump allin people usually think your fishing for chips.

freerolls in the beginning are tough because you have a number of people going all in early on looking to get lucky & if not they're on to the next freeroll. my strategy is to basically fold for the 1st 2 blind levels unless i have big PP AA,KK,QQ, or AK suited then i play strong at the pot & hope the donkey's don't get lucky
