Play tight and pick off the idiots. Bully the tight players if there are any. Good luck.

Was it 1500 chips to start? A 35,000 chip stack is amazing for the 3rd or 4th level. Only in the top 20?
Might as well keep doing whatever the heck it was you were doing. You can afford to lose several thousand chips.

Panic? it's a $150 freeroll with 7500 players.

Huge stack there OP. Would love to play on a 350bb stack in a tourney!

No need to tighten up. Just keep playing loose and bully them all, but selectively. Donks and fish are often afraid of big stacks.

for future reference I like to play a strong range , dont open raise out of position, because a donkey WILL put you all in trust me I haved played alot of freerolls in my time and turbos (closer to the button the better)

Ideally you want to be calling with strong hands in position and letting them bet into you, (which they will do)
you might find if your bullying them a very bad player goes all in takes a chunk of your stack and then you lose that.

you just want to be raising with pairs 9+ Raising with 10-A suited+
calling small raises with speculative hands 89suited, J9Suited, suited broadways, one gappers 10-8 suited 9-7 etc, and stay out of re raised hands unless your going to move all in with a big pair or AK
