Default MY own strategy for freerolls please look

This is my own strategy please try it out.

for the first hour before first break go all in preflop with any of these hands.

pairs or 7s and above

Any two pictures suited or not

10 ace suited or not

10 king suited.


then after for the rest of the tourney, fold all hands and raise the the hands to double the blind preflop with any of those hands,and then its upto you how you play.

also in low no limit real money tables,use the same strategy i use for the first hour of a freeroll, it take patience but you will be rewarded,it works best in low no limit rooms ( best up to around $0.50/$1 )

come on man, do u really think thats the best way to play a freerol ?? u must be kidding. Theres a lot of donkey theory on internet, but this is one of the worst things ive read.

By going all-in u are going to get called by a better hand, or by a worse hand and then u are going to come here and write a post about that awful bad beat, and how bad are the other players.....

the reason you play like that in the first hour is you need a good stack.If you loose,you save yourself playing 4 hours then leaving with nothing,and if you dont, youll end up being blinded out later on.

It works, ive won about 50% of freerolls ive entered (about 10)

I wouldn't ever play a freeroll this way. I have excellent results in freerolls from playing them exactly like a buy in tournament. When you enter a freeroll, the only change is there are more donks and inexperienced players. This is what you want, you need to take advantage of them. Play very very tight, and you will be rewarded by the loose donks. Read your table and each player individually and you will know what hands to play against them, and how to play against them.

You won five out of 10 freerolls that had large enough fields that they took four hours to complete? Sure, that's possible, but the statistical probability is tiny.

Also, in such large fields, it's just not very important to double up early. If for example, the field is 1000 players, a quick double up means you have about 0.2% of the chips instead of 0.1%. At that stage, you're still such a long way from winning or even cashing that having an above average stack, while it's certainly an advantage, isn't nearly as important as it becomes later on.

This kind of strategy is even less appealing in cash games where, in effect, you're often risking your entire stack to win small pots. Even if you buy in small, say $25 at a .50/1 table, you're putting that $25 at risk when, quite often, there's only $1.50 or a bit more in the pot. Yes, you'll win a lot of these small pots, but you'll need to.

Thumbs up

OK The ONLY winning strategy ( and I give it you for free)

VeryTight / Aggressive / Aggressive up to blinds 50/100
Tight / Passive / VERY AGGRESSIVE blinds 100/2000
Semi Loose /Passive/Aggressive blinds 2000/END

Position is Critical

Starting Hands:-

Very Tight = AA,KK, Raise Pre Flop 4xBB: Look for a reRaise if possible.

QQ,JJ,AKs,Ako (Late P),TT (Late P),99 (Late P) Call until you hit at the flop, NO HIT FOLD.

NEVER CALL MORE THAN 10% of YOUR stack in one call.

Tight = ALL of the Above + AQs, AJs,ATs, AQo (late P), AJo(late P )

Semi Loose = All of the above + 88,77, any suited Ace after UTG+5 Call the pairs and don’t forget to Mix it up depending on what the other players are leading out on, Watch for early position Trappers.

Every 35 min or so call 1 junk hand (23s 56s,67s,78s, etc etc) and show it if you get the chance, preferably on the Button or -1 Button Position

5 min before the break POST and FOLD and get a double Break, re Hydrate with WATER ONLY and go for a walk around out of the Grib, making sure you go for a pee/sh*t if you need one.

DO NOT PLAY MULTI TABLE 1 game only.
DO NOT EAT YOUR DINNER PLAYING.
GET ANY WATER / SNACKS sorted before the game starts (i.e. to Hand)
NO DRUGS
NO BOOZE
NO DISTRACTIONS ( wife’s dogs, babes, TV etc etc)

At some point you are going to suffer a suck out DON’T GET MAD USE THE experience, make notes, re play the hand a few times, and see if you could have got away from it.

Remember ALLIN can also mean ALLOUT, pot odds, implied odds, winning starting hand chances, notes and percentage betting are all relevant.

AA = 3 to 1 chance to win so anything under AA needs to be considered, Doyle Brunson says the ONLY hand worth a pre flop allin is AA every thing else is a lotto.

Alpha Waves, murrm I personally am not sure if they help in live play so in regard to the computer its uncharted territory at this time, for ME.

I keep saying I try it on the computer but never got around to buying an ipod or what every it is I need, I think I like to hear what people are saying in live play I think I pick up tells when the ENEMY open there mouth/s

And yes folks YOU are THE ENEMY, I AM HAVING YOUR CHIPS, I deserve them because yes
I AM THE BEST Player.

Good Luck Happy Hunting. OBTW If you win using this please give $20 to Cancer Research

i like reading teh strategy tips because they only reinforce what i already do most of the time. i get a little squirrely still though and wind up playing a littl etoo loose when i get a large chipcount.

I really dont know what you 're thinking King. That is probably the most absurd thing I have ever read.
