Default Re: Freeroll strategy

Here is my freeroll strategy.

1. The first thing to recognize are the huge implied odds. This means small PP and suited connectors can easily double or triple you up if you hit. I try to see a lot of pots early for cheap.

2. Opposite of point 1., I'll drop out of a lot of hands with AK, AQ, 1010 or lower if there are multiple all-ins. The reason for this is that there will be some Axs guys some KQ some JJ+, etc. and it usually ends up that the cards you need to improve your hand are in somebody elses hand. For multiple all-ins I like only AA or KK and sometimes QQ.

3. Get a good read on the aggressive types. When you hit the flop you are either pushing or checking to the LAG and then pushing.

4. There is very little room for playing actual poker. This is longball poker only.

5. The number of opponents in the pot is crucial. I'll push in with a nut flush draw against one or two opponents. Against multiple opponents, I usually check/call good draws and check/fold TPTK.

6. A hand like two pair, I am carefully assessing the situation and either folding or pushing.

7. On made straights, I am definitely pushing as soon as I have the chance unless I have a good read on an aggressive player and then will check/push. Same thing with a flush other than the nut flush.

8. I will only slowplay a full house or the nut flush. I will only slowplay the flop. After the turn, it's a push (or a large bet if push is ridiculous) and no check/raise attempt on the turn either. Money needs to go into the pot on the turn.

And like one poster said, most of this is contrary to good poker but it is my freeroll strategy and it has worked.
