Usually I play tight aggressive strategy throughout any game I approach but when I play the bigger buy in, I keep finding myself at the bottom of the tournament. Usually, when I play freeroll, I approach it the same way at the beginning until I build up enough stack and play a little more looser style, which I find it more beneficial.
Should I keep playing this way or mix it up when I play higher buy-in?

I'm not 100% sure what you're asking. What do you mean by "finding myself at the bottom of the tournament"? You get eliminated early?

I think you should keep playing like this. But if you can afford higher buy in you can play a few MTT-s with higher buy in. For me TA is better in playing MTT-s for real money and LA for freerolls like you said.

TA- good for long run but less profits.
LA- when you are on a heater you make a lot of BI . requires a bigger bankroll
you need to adjust if you play with TA, play LA, if you are playing with LA be tight-agressive or maybe nit.
gl at tables !

Tight agressive i normally play the entire tournament like that, early, middle and last phase of the tournament....
But when I have a lot of chips i became a litle loose agressive in the middle phase, like the bule its good to 3 bet, and open some hands a lot of people will fold, because they want the money, and final table if u are chipleader is a good way to aply the loose Agressive game

Since poker is situitional, you have to adapt and change style sometimes not for opponents to read you like a book.

Agree, being LA is so expensive and TA earns less or lose less.

I think the best style is the mixed style.

In the begging of the tournaments i play TA. But in the intermediate phases i play more LA in position, specially near to bubble time.
