I won't go into how I came across this, but lately I've found that in freerolls during the middle stages with a decent stack I can play what I'm calling Loose Passive Aggressive.

First, pre-flop I call/open 1-2 BBs with a loose range of hands.
On the flop I call 1-2 BB bets no matter what if I decided to see a flop. Fold to larger bets or any re-raise.
On the turn I bet big, half to full pot sized bets.
On the river I bet big again.

Since I've been doing this, most people fold the turn and a lot fold the river. Enough are folding that I'm sticking with it and it seems to be holding up.

Any idea why this would be working for me? Is this a legit way of making people fold, or is it just a run of positive variance?

Like I said, I only do this in freerolls and only during the middle stages with a decent stack.

On a Poker tournament you need to change your way to play and actions. Agressive, very agressive, tight and goes on and on.
Depends how many chips you have, your opponents, how close your are to get ITM the way the opponents are playing... Many points you need to be up to.
It´s not easy to do it but you ll get there. Everyone needs to learn something. Every hand is a different story, that what makes Poker so great.
See you on the tables.
Cheers,

I saw a pattern in what you're saying, I tried it a little bit. It doesn't work with all players, especially with the ones that have a lots of chips. But is not a bad strategy

I've been getting killed in these freerolls, and I think this may be a good strategy to try. Since I can play all day it couldn't hurt to try.

Good strategy for freerolls. With bad hands play passive, wiht good play very aggressive. This is the rule.
