Indeed it does go wrong every now and then, that's variance. Indeed a lot of players in your average freeroll don't play very well (CC freeroll club is a different story tho, that proceeds pretty normally). So that should increase the edge that you have to win it, but you need to adapt your pay a bit.
The best concrete tips I can give you for now are:
1. Make sure your fundamentals are in order. For example calculating Pot odds & equity and knowing your opening ranges. If you got trouble with this there are plenty of people here who like to give you some advice. Feel free to send me a pm as well tho ^^
2. Most of the people in these freerolls have some extreme tendencies and habits. Try to see what they are and exploit them. Are they calling way more then they should? Don't try to bluff them, but instead bet more for value. Are they extremely tight? Try to open more pots against them and be cautious when they resist you.
3. And a general rule for low level freerolls: 3-bets preflop are not common at all, so be cautious when you see one. Most of the time it's a pretty good hand. However be carefull with this, since it depends on the opponents and it is a lot more common in tournaments with a buy-in.
Hope it helps a bit and if you need some extra advice/tips feel free to ask any of us
Good luck!

I really enjoy playing freerolls.
I can not say how to win them because I have not won any yet.
I can only give you some tips on how to get close.
Sometimes these tips can fail of course, but it does not hurt to try to put them into practice.
1 - Do not take unnecessary risks.
2 - Bet only when you realize you have a good chance of winning.
3 - Understand the bet of your opponents.
4 - Realizing that you will win the hand, enjoy it and go all in.
5 - Try to build a stack gradually.
6 - Do not get carried away with a pre-flop.
Good game!

I this year on freerolls won tickets totaling $ 1200! rule first is not bluffing! we concede a lot, but if we have a hand we play very aggressively, we are not afraid that our opponents will fold their hands, they draw their hands completely without knowing what the chances of the bank are! early stage we play push fold AQo + TT + all the rest in the pass until we double! All the pockets on the set did not even get on the chance to play aggressively did not get thrown out! play tight-aggressive! good luck!

You can't spend those tickets anywhere in life except in a poker room.
How much cash did you make converting those tickets into real money?

Thanks for the reply! I'm going through Harrington's Hold'em and seems that sound poker concepts are becoming clearer. I've been burned so many times when I thought I had good cards that I'm playing scared now. Any raise is enough to push me off the pot. I keep telling myself that it doesn't matter if I lose, as long as I'm playing correctly, so that helps with the bad beats. Thanks all for replies, it helps!

I play freerolls as well as cash tournaments. The only difference is that there are more allins. Since there are a lot of fish, this should be taken into account when raising before the flop. At the end of the tournament, the game looks more like a cash tournament.

Basically, the same technics, as in tournaments with buy-in, adjusted a little bit in direction ABC-poker, as the most players play just their cards and board, you don't really have to become "artistic" or using GTO concepts even can harm you. But still having in mind ICM concepts though. Straight forward poker is more effective in em, IMHO.
Make good bets against passive fish or if they make "post-oak bluffs" you may call a lot of time with good chances to make your Straights or Flush.
Against Aggro-Fish, let them bluff, check-calling monster hands till river and then check-raise. Or just get away from their way without real strength.
Also, don't forget to exploit any their tendencies and the bad freeroll players have too many leaks in their play. Steal their blinds, if they tend to fold PF too much. Do more re-steal, if they tend to steal too much. Re-raise their CBets, if they tend to CBet too much, or just use any good spot for bluff. Because bad players very often tend to put you on nuts, if board looks too scary. One good bet on a river takes a lot of pots.
Well, it depends of course on the player type. Some fish are calling even with the lowest pair.
