New game to play in freerolls

#1 7th December 2009, 4:06 AM

I have done this a few times and its great fun. I even won a $1 SNG doing this. You have to see every flop. If someone goes all in prefop you have to call, if this puts you all in with 7-2os, oh well. After the flop you can fold, call, do whatever.

Try it, it is a lot of fun and the comments you get are great.

If you add calling everything, chasing everything, and never ever raise anything, then its standard play for most freeroll players.

#3 7th December 2009, 6:48 AM

Can you raise preflop?

#4 7th December 2009, 6:50 AM

You can raise preflop but it runs the risk of everyone folding, thus not seeing a flop.

#5 7th December 2009, 6:54 AM

So if you take down a pot preflop, do you fail?

#6 7th December 2009, 6:58 AM

you do that? I hope to find continued in a couple of tables jajaja I would not, but if it amuses you, you're free

#7 7th December 2009, 6:50 PM

Thats a good way for the table to cuss ya and call ya a donk which i guess you were hoping for!! LMAO That does sound like fun. I dont know how far or how long u would last though because usually there is 3 or 4 people the 1st hand of the freerolls to go all in!!!

wow..if thats your style and you have fun,,,go for it. i play mostly all my games the same . I'm seriously playing good cards. good luck at the tables...smiles

I'd have to agree with some people on this thread. Freerolls are a thing of beauty - you put together in a tournament people that have never played a dime of their own money and somewhat professional poker players that are willing to play for money without spending anything but time.

While in freerolls, I try to remind myself of this... And play aggressively at times, conservatively every now and then. I don't call everything, and I'd say your experience with playing like this on a freeroll is not representative of the majority of situations one of us could face in such tournaments.

Don't consider this very wise strategy mate...if it is "poker", it is a bad poker strategy. GL though, Wally

#11 7th December 2009, 8:43 PM

yeah but this is not winning poker this is the exact definition of a donk and advise not to play that way or you will lose everything. I know first hand because when i first started playing i had no clue and i was a calling machine

i do this, and i lost 5 dollars

#16 8th December 2009, 3:45 AM

I do a variant of this on occasion.

My rules are a little different. I have to VPIP every unchallenged hand.

#17 8th December 2009, 3:56 AM

more flops seen = greater opportunity of hitting a hand = $$$$$$ = WIN???

Somehow I dont think its that simple however

#18 8th December 2009, 5:48 PM

Nothings ever simple and truly depends on how the other players play

#19 8th December 2009, 5:58 PM

This sounds like a pretty good way to blow off some steam after a bad beat but I try to always do well no matter what the game or buy-in.

#20 8th December 2009, 6:25 PM

When I joined this board I didn't expect to read threads from the donks I've probably played a few thousand times on-line, there have been some threads from players who made bad plays and they're bragging about it like they did the right thing. Now I know.

#21 8th December 2009, 7:22 PM

I guess it takes all sorts and this is not really uncommon in most freerolls. I have my doubts however how many wins you will achieve. You say you won a $1 SnG. How many have you lost?

#22 8th December 2009, 8:11 PM

i would like to start playing people form this site more as a fun thing for like a $1 i don't think i could beat anyone here so i wouldn't want to bet to much on it

#23 8th December 2009, 8:55 PM

This is exactly the strategy that prevails at freerolls. Very indicative of beginners or maniacs. I don't want to rip the strategy too much because I do have to say, I like playing at a table when there's one of these people shoving all the time. Solid poker can lead to an easy double-up.

#24 9th December 2009, 4:44 PM

This is quite the opposite of what I all too often find myself doing . . . folding everything and never seeing a flop!

Thats how I play poker anyhow. Regardless of my buy-in.

This dosent sound fun at all and in a field of over 20 people you would never win a game...ever
