I think I'm too much impulse why for example.
We are now in tournament and only there is 100 people to 1400 and suppose that the award is by 40.
My question is: what is your trick to relaxing and think not too much in the award to be a final table.

I seem to advance much farther if I sit out the first 30 to 45 minutes in these freerolls because there is a lot of wood players who don't seem to care at all that just keep going all in. That helps me get further and even make the final table a couple times but I have only been playing for maybe a half a year

Its tough in the early stages with a lot of people going all in and playing any 2 cards.
If I manage to get a big stack early I will sit out until the madness dies down.
Even later in the game I would be careful not overplay big hands against other big stacks.
Keep in mind that it is a freeroll so most players play loose style of play.

At an early stage of the tournament I play very tight. But at the end of the tournament I'm afraid to play hands and very often go to the bank))

Some luck in the beginning, skill in the middle and a mix of both at the end with skill carrying me from there. Middle and End is also a waiting game, watching other players duke it out. Pick the correct spots to garner chips. Try to keep my stack with or higher then the avg stack

I always play with monster hands at the beginning of the tournament and also I avoid going all in at the beginning. I do this until I get close to the bubble. After the bubble bursts, I start playing with less offensive power cards. My tip for you is to play with good cards, escaping from traps that you distrust that will do for you.

I think it's pretty random. Sometimes try t build a stack early at great risk, other times play a normal TA game. Those tournaments are just too random.

Passive table, play aggressive. Try to mix your game a little bit and be creative.
Good luck in the freerolls.

a game

I play very cautiously at the early stage of the tournament because a lot of players go olline and many times my card does not play so I'm waiting for the flop to open and then decide what you can do with the card in your hand, well, or go to the pair all in order to pick up the blades And be closer to the prize zone

hmmm i usualy play very tight early because some off the players will shuff A7 very lightly and you showd win a lot of big pots in the early stage. After late reg. player start to play more tight.. basicly giving you more oppertunitys to steal some blind ( means you showd play more hand but not go overboard since a lot of players will call you down whit top paar. No Matter the Board. (and don`t try to bluff a fish - you can`t bluff a fish because a fish can`t does not understand ranges.)

I try to be really tight early, mid-early agressive to get the stack going, then more passive later on.

I also like to analyse the players at the table a little bit. Fish are easily identifyable, and I try to get my money from them. Works most of the time.

The final table of any tournament is better to pass through all in the game of cat and mouse is not what the big blind will ruin your stack very quickly... as prudent under each player and all-in with a fairly good hand no transoms and visits to the game for good luck

I prefer playing as early as possible. To potentially double up with monsters and get those sweet spots when you hit top 2 or trips as the BB to all those limpers.

Since I play really really tight I'm just only starting to effectively steal blinds from the BU. It's amazing even how many loose players give you respect when you pop a raise after the blinds go up.

My strategy is aggressive play, not check raise or fold.

Just go with strong hands and check only in BB.

In position of button after the flop we can see tje posible farol and fold If it does not work

I play way too passive, so doubt I can ever be a good or great player. One thing I got going for me, is once I know I am in the money, I am no longer afraid to go for the win.

If you're referring to holdem then play really tight at first, only play QQ or better, heck if someone goes all in only call if you have KK or AA (so yes, fold QQ or worse!). After sometime you should have a feel of the different ranges so then you can start loosening up somewhat and playing hands like AK suited on the button if you feel you have their range beat.

Good luck!
