Bluff on Freerolls

[we will rock you]

for me it matters how many people are playing it whats the prizepool
i like to go allin in the beginning to get chips fast or get knockout right away so i dont spend hours chasing something

in the initial face it is almost impossible to make a bluff,
but I think in the last levels of insurance that can

You definitely have to adjust your play when you are in a low stakes tournament. People do not play the same as they do at higher stakes.
Also you have a lot of newer players, so it might be hard to guess how they will play. I've seen very good players in some freeroll tournaments, I've also seen people call a shove with 2,7 offsuit...

You can try but the chance of it getting through is pretty slim for most players you are going to run into for the first couple of levels.

Personally, I don't think it should matter whether it is a freeroll or if it cost you a good chunk of bankroll, your play should remain fairly consistent of course at any level you have to adjust for different variables ie bingo players in this case but definately don't rule out bluffing , eliminating any element is limiting what tools you have available. Just look for the correct times where the percentage for it to work , works for you and your game.

^^^I like this mindset. I treat any tourney like any. Practice good poker decisions. I find late in the tourney when most players are mindful of what is happening. You can practice your bluffing. You just have to make sure your betting pattern makes sense. Otherwise they tend to clue in, In the beginning I don't bluff at all. I haven't won yet, so you can take it with grain of salt. lol

Depends on a lot of things, but I usually don't bluff that much in early stages of free rolls.

i agree 100% with what other members said D'ONT BLUFF IN freerolls , people will call u with anything . In late phase u can bluff , but early don;t do that

Many players are not serious about freerolls, especially at the beginning. Therefore, at the beginning of freerolls it is important to be patient, play only good starting hands and not use bluffs.

I rarely bluff, because it is quite difficult for me. But obviously bluffing is an effective element that successful players use. So, no doubt, bluffing is sometimes necessary.

Hi
I don't bluff at all.
So I play my game the way it's supposed to be played.
No matter what type of tourney, whether cash or free roll.
Always play normal.
