Well i started playing poker in 2009 real seriously and locked myself in a room for 6 months studying poker on a few websites like pokersource, bankroll mob and a few others. Back then was the good ole days when american's could still get no deposit bonuses and play at all the poker sites. Well for six months i immersed myself in poker i learned about how position is very important, also how to raise correctly.
Well the quality of players also should dictate how you should play. I play alot of free rolls because i was never good in tournament so i made it my mission to be solid in tournament play and to learn how cash games and tournaments differ and how to adjust your play to last deep into tounaments consistently.
i used to think that trying to get lucky in the beginning of a tournament by calling all ins with trash cards. It worked a frew times but i quickly learned a little thing about freerolls. The guys that start a tournament by going all in hopes to get lucky and stack chips quick will eventually get busted and if i stay at my game pace and watch my position i will have a good stack of chips at a time in the tournament where the only players left more then likely have studied poker and understand betting as well as position posture. The game gets easier for me at that moment because reading a good poker player for me is easier then reading a donk. All i have to do is survive all the all ins in the beginning of the tournament that are sometimes hard to fold cause you have a pair or A K. Ive learned to really only calling someones all in when its almost gaurenteed to be me and the all in together in the had to seee the flop. i call more often when my position bets after my opponet. Calling all ins when there are more then two people invoved in the hand to me very risky cause no matter how strong your hand maybe the more people in a hand will cut the odds of you winning down. So folding strong hands in the beginning of a tournament whenn faced with an all in can gets me better finishes on a consistent basis. If you havent learned the importance of your position i would suggest that you study this part of the game. I know for me it changed how i place in tournament and how much i win is cash games. freerolls usually attract aolt of loose players so weeding them out slowly has helped me in my freeroll tournament play.
