they call call call

thats why i dont bluff in feerolls until mid late game or late game. i posted an article on this on another site a few days ago, and since then , they calu cant bluff in freerolls earlyl with bottom pair,middle pair top pair bad kicker, even 2s with a 4 kicker, u cant bluff in freerolls early, u will get called. just now i shoved 1500 on the flop(allin) after i raised 300 preflop 300. i had pocket kings and and he calls with 4s and a 9 kicker. he hits 2 outer on river, most of the time they dont. 9 final tables in last 3 days . 40$ made. and i still had a lot of bad beats. my advice in freerolls is play good hands early and cheap flops that hit. u get pocket aces shove it all in unless tabe is aggressive and u r early position , then call wait for raise then shove it in. call call call

interesting theories here, i might try this and see how it works for me. will get back with you to let you know how it went!

I agree with you, you cant get away with bluffing early on, HOWERVER later in tournaments you can. Play tight in the beggining but play some cheap pots with suited connecters etc.

Yes, it's pretty tough to bluff on first levels, too many looser players.

Yea the first few levels of freerolls are just a joke, I usually just play super super tight until theres like 500 or so left (in the full tilt freerolls anyway when there was 7500 players) then start opening up and bluffing them because they turn into super nits wanting to cash :)

i concur doctor

For sure it is not a good idea to bluff early in freerolls, enough calling stations in there

You can't bluff donkeys, how simple is that :D

That is why they call it freerolls aka donkaments, they will call with the worst starting hands.

I play somewhat like you do. I hate playing the freerolls right on the start. I might just fold and wait for all the donks to lose first. However, it seems, in the past, when I have pocket, Ks or As and I do wind up going all in.....it never fails that somebody with lower pairs, always hits on the river!! Me and the river do not play well together :(

playing very nitty at the first hour of a freeroll is not a bad idea

freerolls are always going to have donks in em... period. unfortunately carbon/merge rewards donk plays quite a bit.

It's just like playing in any live tourney. Play it safe and double up against a fish, then use your stack to put pressure on the other players.

Hard to bluff in early stages and not much better until final table or so....my thoughts

they call in limit holdem no matter what they have. online limit is horrible

As everyone knows. Freeroll is just "Donkey poker". So try placing a pic of a jack*** above your computer when ya play freerolls. It may help. hahahahahahaha

They still call even at the final table. To do good in a freeroll you got to have patience and a lot of luck on your side.

I love limit holdem. I prefer it over nolimit.

Chair you like to play alot of hand dont you? AryAlton very much agreed ALOT OF LUCK online period!!

Alot of peoples attitude is that freerolls are free so,why not gamble?nothing invested is nothing to lose.Serious players play all tournaments the same so that they dont develop bad habits.I get called a donk alot because of calling preflop raises with small pr or suited connectors.I dont mind.I lead early in alot of tourns.finishing is my weakness.

in mtts .let the field narroe itself out a bit before you decide to ger aggressive,let the donkers donk themselves out
