Freeroll strategy

[Rook]

Large Freeroll tourneys are very much crapshoots early on. The first levels play exactly like a rebuy tourney. My suggestion? Loosen up your starting hand requirement a little bit. Maybe include AJ in your reraising/calling range, drop your PP down to about 88.

Don't be scared to push AI to a raise, even if it seems you are massively overbetting the pot. Chances are the raiser will call you anyway.

Don't play stupid (like pushing AI with air, or bottom pair), but don't play super tight either. People have no money invested, so they play like maniacs. You've got to get in there early with them to make any chips. Just try to go in with the best hand, and hope for a good flop.
