I've been playing on ACR in there free rolls and I seem to normally get down to about 20-50 players and it seems I have a hard time making the final 10 . I don't really vary my game as I tend to think the players are solid as well but there's never enough premium starting hands to open call raise with . This leaves me wondering how and what do I need to do to change my out come ?:mad:

When you get later into the tournament you need to loosen up your range; otherwise the larger blinds and antes will bleed you outas you wait for premium hands. You can also start playing more aggressive preflop to take advantage of the players who will fold a lot hoping to limp into the money. You won't even need very big raises to get most to fold preflop.

Hey villain, I am also playing a great deal of those freerolls and i find myself in the same position often. I agree that most of the players once you get to the final 25 or so are pretty solid, but the thing is, its hard to get them to fold. That is what makes freerolls so hard, you are basically gambling or just trying to get lucky, which doesnt help. I have placed in about 10 of the 100 or so of those freerolls ive played, I find that its best to just steal the blinds when given a chance and dont take any unnecessary risks w all your chips. Its good to try to steal the blinds against smaller/weaker stacks that are trying to sneak into the money. Avoid getting into too many hands when you are playing against the larger stacks because they will call with almost any live cards.
I was playing 2 days ago and there were 12 left in that freeroll, I pushed w AKo preflop, hoping to take the blinds no problem. I got called w J8suited, and boink, villain hit his 8. Left me losing w 12 left when 10 get paid. I wasnt happy about this situation but there wasnt much i could do. I had to try to take the blinds as i was low stack, but i knew that i would probably face a call from a big stack w almost any 2 cards.
Basically, you want to be more selective in your position/people you play against. Don't worry too much about your starting hands w what you open, but instead focus on THEIR chipstacks, and YOUR position. This should help you to slide into the final table where you can pick your spots w some good starting hands. Good luck, and btw, shoot me a PM w your screen name and i'll try to chat w you in some of those freerolls. Mine is SUBDYLZEP. Hope to see you on the final table.

in freeroll finial 10 is not easy. It always take 2~3 hours.
Finial 100 almost get into bumble period , then You should raise your ante quickly. Otherwise it's difficult to get in finial 10.

How to finish a freeroll? win few more flips :D

Seriuosly now, just be patient and wait for good spots - you can't expect to be i n the final table of every freeroll you play. Getting down to 20-50 players is also a decent result if the entrants are counted in a few hunderds :)
