The Freeroll Experiment Pt 2

DblBarrelJ · #1 10-21-2007, 06:01 PM

This is a hand from a freeroll tournament. I've been working under the impression that it is correct to lower your requirements on all levels in these, especially in the beginning, as these freerolls are often full of people who are pushing with anything early. Can I lower my calling requirements this much? No real reads on BB, this is the 9th hand of the tourney.

This is a easy call in a freeroll.

I struggle to justify laying down AT here too.

Easy call in freeroll.
FWIW this is a call at almost every buy in

I can't even believe that you ask "can I lower my calling range this much"?

Unbelievable. What would you require to feel comfortable in your call? 5 aces?
