Hey guys, just curious, how do you like to approach free roll tourneys. Especially with players that will shove in the beginning with anything
I try and play every game pretty much like its a nice sized buyin. It doesnt work well in freerolls but i have learned to loosen up just a bit early on. Avoid the shovers unless you have a good hand and even then they are going to get you LOL
The shovers aren't as crazy as we like to think, as doubling up early a couple times is a great way to cash in these free-for-alls.
Just play tight... Wait for big hands.. And play em aggressively..... And hope u dont get donked in the process
Build a stack early and prey on the donkfest you are going to witness.
If its one of these freerolls, then approach it like any real money tournament. Great players, crap players and everything in between
double up quick off all the all inners.....
make some moves after
I go at hem in 2 ways...either I try to get a huge stack right away by calling the shovers with hands I wouldn't normally call with in hopes of getting lucky (you would be supprise how many times my hand is actually the better hand..lol)...or, and this is what I do most of the time, I sit back and only play premium hands and try not to get involved with all the all ins..ill wait till around the 1st break to start playing a little more aggressive because by that time most of the garbage is done with and I can get down to playing a nice poker tourney
i approach a freeroll usually like any other tournament, witha blunt in hand ashtray near and most of the time a beer or a mixie drink close by
