My take on freerolls



I have found that there is not really too much of a strategy when it comes to freerolls.

I have been playing the freeroll circuit for quite awhile now and have found that any success in any freeroll relies on the cards and the table(reads), position rarely ever comes into play as there are those players who do not have an understanding of pot/implied odds in relation to position, but then again you all know that already and if you don't, your setting yourself up for a stressful time at the freeroll tables if you don't accept the fact that there are alot of bad players that will call off an insane amount of chips on a draw or even top pair.

I would like to continue this but I'll have to finish when I get home.

Some will say that you should loosen up your starting hands in freerolls, But I disagree, if you loosen up your playing below your normal play which will inadvertantly carry onto the real money tables.
Sure freerolls induce bad play but you don't have to let it, just play your game as usual but only letting yourself change gears when the timing is right, cards/position/reads.
There are a few decent players in freeroll and if you loosen up your starting hands you will definately run into a better hand.
You play tight and keep looking towards the noobs that go allin every hand and think to yourself "This player is gong to double/triple me up soon enough".
All it really comes down to is that you don't underestimate your enemy, no matter what level of game you play and you'll last longer in freerolls.

Failed but will try again.



I have failed at my first attempt in trying to accomplish my "New" goal and am currently trying the first goal again.
I have made a $25 deposit on UB and have heard that the way to make money on UB were through the SnGs, So I have tried them(10 seater, $1.10) and found that they are easy, played 5 and cashed in 3.
Not alot of money but I know it's going to be a long hard grind and I am willing to give it a serious try this time around.
I have the disipline to do this if I try hard enough but I do lack patience at times, just as you have at some point during a game.
I will keep you all updated on my progress.
