So I've been reading about the best strategies for freerolls because I routinely get ousted due to bad beats. I was wondering which strategy is better.
The first article I read encouraged playing a little loose earlier with an emphasis on increasing your chip stack earlier. The rational being that it's a freeroll so you have nothing to lose. And once you get to the middle rounds you play more conservative. And the closer you get to the money the more you should attack the small stacks to steal chips.
The second strategy is the more common... It stresses playing tight aggressive the whole way through the tournament only playing stronger hands. The problem with this is that my strong hands almost always get broken.
So I'm asking you all... What strategy works better for you? And how well do you usually fare in freerolls?
