Live Action Freeroll Tournament Strategy?

#1 22nd January 2011, 2:45 PM

Hello everyone:

I'm a newish player that has access to a live action free roll today. Five places are paid but there's probably going to be between 100 and 175 players. There was no qualification necessary to enter the free roll, so obviously there are going to be some donks.

What strategy changes between online free roll play and live free roll play should I make? I know between 2.5 and 5% of the field is getting paid, which is better than online at least.

Thanks for your responses. :-)

With such a bad payout structure, I am going for an early double up, then try to chip up after that. With a double stack it would be a while before anybody threatens to knock me out. If I don't survive my double up attempt, there is always the next tournament.

Thanks LizaBuv.

Anyone agree/disagree?

yeah early shove with many hands A10+, KJ+, 66+. It's a freeroll and only 5 people get paid, you are going to have to get lucky.
