Is there any particular strategy with which a player (newbie) should enter freerolls? There are always a large number of entrants in freerolls, so how to play these games.

At the first couple blind levels, try and limp more hands than you normally play. If you lose, you're not losing that much, and if you hit, try to extract as much value as you can. People don't mind calling a shove on the turn on a T high flush draw. Once about 3/4 of the people are gone, you'll be playing at least a couple relatively good players. Then you should tighten up your range a lot, but keep hammering value when you get a hand.

The main problems with the freerolls is that members are a huge number of participants. Smaller sites often have better freerolls with less players. At big sites like Pokerstars you will have to beat a 10k field and then a 2k field to win some money. Generally in freerolls there are going to be a ton of inexperienced players, and a ton of people that just don't care whether they win, so they will make ridiculous all-in bets, etc. Just play normally and play according to the situation.

I take serious precautions while bluffing in freerolls as it can be backfire a lot of times. Stick to the tight-aggresive style of play and be patient. It can be hard not to panic when your chips are decreasing and the blinds are increasing, but it's never too late to make a comeback. Read

Good article, thanks for sharing. The main thing that I feel about frerolls is that one must know how to play cards and at the same time how to play with opponents. I always try to get as many chips as you can while conserving what I've already made.

pocket aces loses about 50% of the time or more at the start of freerolls.... its an all in frenzy... it takesl uck to win one of these because of the fact thats how ppl play n if u get a big hand like kings or aces and play them you have a high chance of losing even though its probably the best hand preflop.... as someone said though just play tighter at the start, also examine the table and see how people play, if its an aggressive table with everybody calling big raises and all ins dont even get involved until those numbers shrink and better more careful players are left although sometimes by then its too late

Keep yourself at your best, calm when facing all the players in a freeroll. Yes there could a be a lot of players you will have to face therefore just keep yourself focused and apply the suitable strategies for freerolls that you know.

Here's some tips for freerolls:

1. Win blinds. If you're on the button or near and you're the first to call the big blind, make sure you raise most of the time. The people next to you may not have anything either and you'll often win some blinds, which add up well at this point. Once, again, don't make it blatantly obviously, and if they call, try to represent the flop, but if they call here, don't try to keep winning the pot with nothing. It's not impossible for the big blind to have a hand.
2. Capitalize on weakness!
3. Be aggressive. This should be the time in the freeroll where you're most aggressive. Don't be sloppily aggressive though, make sure their is technique behind your aggressiveness!

Please note that this are just tips. It might or may not work... you choose your own game play

Good luck to everyone!

STOP playing free rolls. It won’t teach you how to improve online play... better to play in real money events even if micro limits... at least those players have a bit of risk and it will give you better insight to help you raise your game and your stakes.
