I Hello, gentlemen. I'm from Russia, the city of Samara. Yes, yes, get on the map of the city and sundry. I write through the Google translator, so sorry. I play freerolls Weekly round of No Limit Hold'em and Omaha potlimit. I'm quite not bad before the tournament is 600-700 players. I have kept the average stack, and then decreases. I only play pairs and AK, AJ, AQ. I 3- bet. It can not continue to play well. In the end, I go to all with a pair of kings or aces and departing. Tell me what mistakes I have. Advise how to play. Thank you.

You should play other hands depending on your position and the aggressiveness of your opponents.

Hands like J10 suited, 6-7 suited are appropriate for certain situations.

You wont get AK AQ AJ and pairs enough to be profitable.

Thank you, the fact is that playing with weak hands, I lose a lot of chips.

Hello Zemlyak. Try cash games - there not so many bad beats when you see your money gone.

Ye indeed Olegan, you are playing way too few hands. Hand selection is a really important thing in poker, I think most beginning and intermediary players lose money here. To build a good opening range I advise you to use PokerSnowie you can download it for free and create a free 30-day trial. But also you could just watch youtube tournament analysis from people like Gripsed https://www.youtube.com/user/gripsed.
He has lots of good training videos and in the videos he explains why you should open or not open hands.

But there is way more to consider when opening hands. You should also take into account your stack in big blinds and the stacks of the people behind you. And you should think about whether they will reraise you etc. In general you should be willing to open a lot of hands when u are in position and avoid situations where you are out of position like in the small blind. So in general from the first 3 positions you open really few hands and when you get closer to the button, than you can open way more hands. But a profitable range can be found on the internet.

I would like to give more advice but I really have to few information about your playing style etc.

Thank you, I have an aggressive style tight. Expands the range of, but not very good in terms of lost chips.

You are okay to play just with pairs and big cards like AK, AJ as you said. But, you can also play suited cards and conectors but on good position, like button, SB, BB and you can gets a great flop with that.. If you miss, obv. fold .. GL :)

If your table allows you to play inexpensive hands, loosen your range way up but get your opponents to fold before the river unless you absolutely nail the hand.

Conversely, tighten up against aggressive players and let them bury themselves by slow-play and well timed 3-bet steals if you've gathered enough rep to scare them into folding hands.

Remember, at micro stakes/freerolls, expect to be called down to the showdown regardless until your run goes pretty deep. Thankfully, it's easier to double-up by well-timed shoves pre-flop- just be tight and patient.

I think as a new player, the starting hands that you play is exactly correct and you shouldn't open up your starting hands. BUT, when you are playing MTT with 500 other players, you will have to play many of these tournaments before you will finish in the cash. For a average skilled player, you would need to play 10 games for each 1 that you finish in the cash (if top 50 of 500 cash at these tournaments).

Sometimes have to steal pots to make stack afloat.

Starting hands are good but have to study on postflop plays as well.
