It depends how much money is guaranteed. If its a low freeroll like BET-IBC i play aggressive but if its smthing for the leaderboard or for example CC freeroll i play tight and im waiting for good hands :)

If you are wanting to build a BR from freerolls, then you have to play serious, tight in places, and aggressive in others. A lot of players who play freerolls will just all in with whatever and pray to hit so they can get a good stack to start with. But I have seen those same players get knocked out by continuing to play those same cards vs good cards. My simple point is play freerolls like you would any buy in MTT.

I think in the freerolls you need to play tight-aggressive, and try not to bluff.

freerolls are completly different from mtts with an entry fee, players do and play any how, they call with A2o+ 42s+ ..etc if they got busted Okay they will subscribe to the next one. if you survive the early stages you'll see a huge difference in their play in the middle stage.
in my opinion if you want to win some money from the freerolls you have to take them seriously and fix an objectif to reach for exemple 50$.
survive is the key. play the top 5% starting hands. cause if you have a hand and shove in there's always a caller. you can double up and wait till the next premium hand.
For my part yes i do play them diffrently from the ones with buy-in.
freerolls: long ball strategy
buy in: small ball strategy

mm yea funny thing is when i play like i dont care about the freeroll sometimes im getting higher... cant really play safety in freerolls because there always someone who will get you to do bad call so not much bluffs in the early game... just need be aggresive most of the game and try get high as you can before blinds killing you... many times happen to me then im almost in the money and losing the freeroll by bad mistakes...

To play in freerolls you need two things: a nice game and a lot of luck.

Freerolls like IBM or BankrollMob are good to begin your fun with poker. Well, I think every single poker hand should be played as good as it can be played. No matter you play freeroll in a train or WCOOP main event with friends behind your back. Of course, always take part in as much freerolls as you can.
And never give up! :)

I usually try and play them as close to real as possible. I don't deposit very often so I try and build a bankroll from these FR's. So yes I try to play as close to poker with money invested.

It depends on the freeroll and the player.
Suppose if freeroll amount is big and more places paid than i play tight in starting ,aggressive in middle and tight in end.But if its less than i may go all in with a JT.
Player- If a player play more big gtd buyin tournaments than im sure they will play agressively because most of they freeroll will take around 1-2hours to win so wasting their mind power their they will go straight all in.
