Play real tight in the begging.
When you are short stack be more aggressive.
Middle stack tight-agressive.
High stack you can play a wider range of cards against short stack players and try to knock them out, against mid stack+ more tight, you don't want to lose your advantage.

I saw a lot of strategies, but the game is always careful with the attacks on the 2-hand Jacks or cards, such as the K D and above, there is, of course, accidents, and even the AA can be killed on the flop, but I think this method is the most correct

A-try to double or triple up in the first level, gamble gamble its a freeroll try to get a big stack right away.I wont do this unless dealt AA or KK. or play it normal and try to chip up problem with normal play is a you have to avoid the big stacks like land mines. play evens out after the first hour if you can last

I think in the beginning of the game until the end of late registration and will not pass 25 minutes of the time the tournament is to play very tight . Since the beginning of so many maniacs , which increases the risk .

It really depends on the stage of the tournament and how invested you are in the freeroll (how much you want to cash). If you're always in it to win it, play tight at first while seeing as many hands as cheaply as possible. So many people will bluff or go in with rag hands, it's easy to triple up or more in the first hour. If you don't care about the tourney, go all in along with others to get lucky or leave early.

i really take notes for first couple months in free events my notes are pretty good on players and yes i find bingo guys also who might be better players when get a stack. My questioning of this is still to this day i see the all ins with anything i see these same guys do it and never win or majority of time not win. Its hard when you get down to 30-40 players and everyone has a decent amount of chips the cream raises to the top most times. So be careful in that time frame I have talked to a lot of players who have issue in that time frame even having the chip lead sometimes you get fed cards and is no choice but to play and a bad beat is what it is
I do wonder though on most bingo players to me this shows they cannot win from behind. I like coming in behind before they see me coming. Id rather play stronger late than early. Sometimes im too tight yesterday did the 11 cent acr event 7pm and won 35 cents and lost at that range for 3rd in chips jj to qq villian hit quads. Yet id not play that different. Pick your times and i cant stress enough do not let what others are doing affect your game play. IMHO if that is happening youve already lost.

Playing aggressively means that if you're going to play a hand, you play it strong. It isn't "a lot of bluffing."
You ever see how at a freeroll, with a 9-man table, and 6 people just call the blinds to see a flop? That's NOT playing aggressive. Those people are playing a loose PASSIVE game.
If it's good enough to be getting into the pot first, you should be raising. And remember, you need a much better hand to call a raise than you do to make one.
There is a ton of books and internet literature on playing a tight, aggressive game -- its beyond the scope of just this post.

At the beggining of the tournament if I have ,QQ, KK, AA , AK I raise heavily and prepare to go all in .I also use JJ at this stage to shove,it's a freeroll tournament ,many play speculative and trash hands . AQs AQo a little more carefully , but against one player ,a bit later in the tournament , i shove .
I limp with AJso ,small pairs , suited connectors if possible .
Later , in the middle phase , I play more normally, the position , with raises , but if I got reraised I shove at once with monster hands , AQs,AQo, I raise KQso AJso, but if reraised I fold . I limp with small pairs , if raised i fold them , I bet with bigger pairs and if raised I decide that moment what to do .

I play a lot of freerols in my short poker career and i think i em good in this type of tournament. Strategy depend from tournament to tournament in my case. First how much time one level takes. If levels increase very fast you must be agressive. How time of levels going up you agression l think must be going down. In the early phase of freeroll tournament or some low buy in tournaments you must wait good hand becose many recreative players are playing freeroll poker. Advice: dont bluff in early phase, when tournaments are dowing to small number of players you must change you strategy. This is strategy how l play some freerols or low buyins tournaments, other poker players probably have their strategies.

I've made the FT a few times in that tourney. I played very tight to begin and as my stack grew I could loosen up a bit. I usually base my play off the table dynamics, if guys are being crazy and making a lot of raises I tighten up and punish them with monsters. If the table is being a bunch of nit's I play the opposite. Just don't risk too much on marginal situations and you should be good
