What is the strategy, which used to play this freeroll series.

I play very tight in your hands, because many do all in with any thing, I hope the opportune hand for doblarme, try not to risk everything my bank, hands that go all in multiple players, as for example with KQo treatment of not paying... What arriesgaria with AKo AQs , JJ

As you play this series of tournaments?

There are no difference of strategy buy-in MTT and freerolls. In the other hand, you need to understand freerolls players mind, they can push all-in with Q5o or J2s and win huge pot. So you must be prepared, that against your AKs possible can be several opponents with rubbish hands, and they will win.

What my advice? Be easy, and do not worry about loosing in freerolls.

Thank you BongDanStark doesn't worry me nor bothers me to lose, the freerroll... But sometimes this well know that strategies used members of the Forum in these tournaments, I believe there are many here who play these tournaments..
And also something for those players looking for some strategy, since these tournaments spread good prizes in FT

I want to add that if there are 2 + players inactive,play more lose and aggressive. play as 6 max turbo

shove wide first hands because you start with 20bbs, when you have a good stack put pression on the sort stacks

be very aggro with premiums in early stages - people like to call huge overshoves with any two cards in freerolls - people stop doing that after about 20 minutes and then it's pretty much normal poker but a bit more on the "I don't care" side of things

but really not uncommon for 3+ to be all in first or second hand in a freeroll with cards like QT and 78, if you get a premium early I think it's far better to gamble someone looking for early exit or big chip up so just shove it it

honestly though it makes a lot of sense, why play 3 hours for $.25 when you can either get out quick or significantly boost your chances in first few hands

Freeroll there are many players who are all in with anything, so if you'll call with a strong range, likely to always be in front and in most cases will lead to hand.
Yesterday was playing a Freeroll and the guy moved all in from under the gun J6 and I paid with KQ and pulled everything.

You need to be very aggressive. The blinds go up very quickly. Its not called a a turbo, but it is.

I would play pretty straight up and not get to deep in the rebuys. Would be a pretty good question for a math wiz to figure out the chip equity, to figure out if there's any value in rebuying for the 2500 chips. I might try and figure it out later if I get bored. The 6000k $5r&A that had just over $700 overlay would be a good one to look at that's running now. Only 75 add-ons surprisingly with 985 rebuys. Guess the Add-on period came in really late. The 10,000 chip add only comes out to 5 big blinds or so I think, by the time you get there and min cash is only $12. Kind of a retarded structure but could be fun with all the freebuy chips floating around.

Its a major shove fest early frankly takes lots of luck to survive. Almost not worth the trouble of playing.

You should play only good hands, at least in the beginner phase of the tournament. If you are playing aggressively good hands, you will get the most value. If you have a strong starting hand you should make big open raises (min 4BB) or go all-in before the flop, because your standard bets will rarely be respected. If you lose a flip against marginal hand, you do not worry, because freerolls are without variance. :)

As you play this series of tournaments?

Currently I would say to have a lot of patience. Each tourney is at least 2.5-3 hrs just to get into the $. People play looser a lot because they can just do a rebuy. I would suggest having a rebuy to play the game just in case you get sucked out on big time.

I am an OK tourney player, but I have cashed once on Fri, once on Sat, once of Sun, & 2 on Monday.

You really have to have patience.

yesterday was my first time playing a tournament series in February remains in position 50 and recommend playing super- aggressive do not play rock and you 'll lose a good hand at all times and do not hesitate to fold if you think you're behind in the hand the prizes are very acuerdate that good but only if you manage to reach final table really big prizes remembers aggressive

Doesn't overestimate hands like AK, AQ,KQ, AJ, JJ and try to avoid the starting hands shoves
