Go hard on freeroll tournaments or take it slow?I am always in dilemma here because if i play slow and patiently i in most of the cases i come to the last 1000 but im far away with chips behind the leader.So should i play hard and in small amount of time get big pile of chips with the price bean eliminated early for the tournament?

I can give you advise of how i play free rolls. I usually fold first 3-4 bad hands, and in first 6-7 hands i always catch something good and double up. Later play carefully and try to stand little above average, don't look at chip leader's stack, in most of the time early chip leaders even don't join the cash price. Just stay average and play good hands, 77+ A10+, plus i love to play "pretty" hands, like 89 78 65 suited mostly. Play offensive play, daredevil stuff, then i enjoy the most.

in the freeroll, at an early stage I wait 10+ pocket pairs AQ AK and walk the all in, to double stack. (take off at the beginning or double stack) continue to play tight and aggressive

Luck is a part of any tourney.

I like to be aggressive in spurts.

Very good advice. I agree 100% .I do not understand the fish that go all-in with any hand at the beginning of the tournament. Patience is important. I waited a good hand and played. When you have doubled your bankroll start playing tight.:)

try to double up in early stage with strong hand, since at the beggining most donks open shove marginal hands, just because they don't know how to play.
also much depends how long are levels
