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.
