large field Freerolls - optimal early game strat?

[Kyer]

I watched my gf play some $1 and $2 tournaments with huge fields. Even there the play is so crazy, that I am sure you will not be able to steal pots early on in a freeroll.

I would either:
-gamble like crazy early on and calm down after having built a big stack / busting.

or:
-wait for a hand and hope your AA holds in a 4-way all-in vs KT, A3s and 44.


Good luck.
