The point is, it's not that it's hard to bluff in a freeroll, the hard thing is to make this bluff go through, especially in a freeroll, where guys call with any rubbish.
I think bluffing is a powerful weapon in poker, and I believe that if you don't bluff, you will hardly be able to win a tournament, especially when it comes to a freeroll.
I've seen some comments here in the chat, saying that they never bluff and manage to win a tournament, it can even happen, but it's one in life and another in death.
But remember for a bluff to pass, the story has to be told well, from beginning to end, the villain has to believe his story.
Just my opinion, I don't own the truth, and I'm not better than anyone else.

Thank you brother for the answer.
My question focuses on freerolls because it's very difficult for me to bluff in a freeroll, it's harder for me to even sell the story of the good guy, because they pay you with any rubbish.
What's more, I tried to bluff in very good handwriting at the table, with players seeing my powerful hands and they paid me 22 after having Aces Kings for color in the showdown.
In valuable tournaments, this situation varies a lot for me.
Cheers;););)

Bluff is part of Poker, without Bluff you don't get where you want, but be careful, if I've bluffed in a freeroll, several times, I won, I lost, but it's falling that we learn to get up, good luck and make sure that your opponent will believe your bluff

If you run into calling stations, you should not be trying to bluff them, you should be trying to value own them when you have a hand.

Sometimes I do find it difficult because most players pay very often with speculative hands, that's why I feel they won't fold and it's hard for me to bluff them very often.

If it's a big freeroll with thousands of players, bluff is almost impossible because 99% of the times someone will call you, specially in the first levels. In the middle to end of the tournament, I think it's easier to bluff because usually the crazy players are already out of the tournament.

That's true brother
In general, it's more accessible for me to bluff in a buy-in tournament or in a freeroll in decisive stages than at the start of the freeroll, where everything is a real catastrophe.

I find that a lot of people will call my bluffs during freerolls, especially during the early stages and when I don't have good player reads. If you are playing a hand against a player is tight or you have a reputation as a player who only plays Premium cards and good hands, then it's much easier to get players to fold when you are bluffing.

A lot depends on the value of this freeroll for me... Mostly I play like a regular tournament and bluff where the situation allows without compromising the final result. Freeroll with rebuy I play in the mode all in / fold, before the addon anyway. And there is almost no bluff either on my part or on the part of opponents..:cool:

If it is difficult for me to do it, because I know that since it is a freeroll, players tend to risk more than normal and can play a little more aggressively, which makes it difficult to bluff

You won't win or go deep in tourneys if you don't bluff, does not matter if it's a freeroll or not. Trying to pick the spots to bluff is the important part, and against which players is also important. There is no point in trying to bluff the loose type player, semi-bluffing those types are better, it is always good to have some sort of showdown value against those loose players.

Yes. To many players and no fees. Always is someone all-in or call with bad cards, but they are lucky.

Thank you all for continuing to participate in my survey.
It is very good to see all the comments and everyone's general agreement is that, although we all agree that bluffing is an essential part of the game, we all find it difficult to bluff in a freeroll especially in the early stages.
For that reason option 3 "sometimes" is the one that wins in percentage well above the other options.
Let's continue participating in the survey and seeing other opinions.
Thank you and greetings ;););)

My game is quite similar to yours Irina.
We'll meet at a table

No, it is not difficult to bluff in a freeroll, because it is a tournament with the same rules! I can say that I bluff easier because the game is more loose and I can experement more.

I don't think it's possible to bluff in freerolls. Sometimes they go all in with these hands and players win.

I think it is not good for a player to bluff in a freeroll until 75% of the participants who are not interested in freeroll tournaments have been eliminated.
