Question?
On average how many hands do you think you fold in an average freeroll tournament? I'm curious if anyone else has this issue as much as I do. Thanks for the input.

sincerely,

The folding Queen:sleep:

It really depends on your play style, the table dynamics, and how many playable hands/situations you are involved in. For a very rough estimate I'd say I'm folding around 70-80% of hands, hitting both spectrums regularly depending on the variables above.

60-80% usually. Minimum I've had is 40% folded, boy was that a game.

I don't keep track.
But using starting hands 15-35% is 'normal'.
With luck (or fishy/nitty table) it can be a bit higher.
Even with bad luck usually you can find spots to play some 10% (with ANY cards).

I try to play 2 hands per orbit.
So I fold about 77 percent.

I'd say about 60-70% of the cards I fold, I think that my game should be lots tighter but I loose my patience sometimes and I got to work on that

Similar to most responses. I probably fold about 70%. Sometimes I will mix it up a bit and play the odd junk hand, depending on position. I am just about ready to start folding pocket Jacks. Worthless every time. hahahhaa

It really depends on the game but I end up folding about 75-80% of the hand dealt to me.

I actually fold a lot less in most freerolls. Unless it's like stupid situations , but like the ACr freerolls I folded almost never because I honestly dont care . In CC freerolls I play it like an actual tourney because the players in them actually want to play poker and not just all in or nothing

on NLHE you should be seeing an AVG of 15-25% flops

If folding most of your hands is troubling you, think of it this way. Every hand you fold you are saving money/chips for when a premium hand comes your way.

Fold??? Fold in a freeroll tournament??? Are you kidding? You got to be in it to win it!!! I have never folded any hand in a freeroll tournament. And I have a feeling, although it hasn't happened yet, I have a feeling that one of these days I will still have chips past the first orbit. Ta ta.

depends on the stage of the tournament, initial 80%, average 60%, etc.
