Do you think that free tournaments you get a lot more people taking unbeleavable chances trying to get lucky and if so Why do we play them are the odds stacked against the good players.

patience

patience is the key to any tourney, pick your hands and pick the right spot to play them. hope for some luck and just enjoy the game of poker

There are always people who go all in like crazy in the beginning.
just wait and play when you have the cards. The tournament will get better when these guys are out.

when I am playing in a tournament with alot of players with a really bad price pool, like $200 on 10'000 people, then in the start I usually go allin when I have QQ, KK, AKs or AA, then 2 or more people will call the all-in and u have a really big stack afterwards

free tournaments becoming fine play after 1st break... but there is a chance that few plaryers will have 4-6 times of your chips pool

5.) They're free.

Zipperface totally agree with you, too, love to play free late stage of the tournament, but rarely live to it))

They're FREE!

I just play extra tight.

PapaC · Jul 8, 2016

Am wondering how that could be. I mean what do they care who wins a freeroll. andyt5303 said as I would, play tight. But you are going to run into them all the time and at all levels in poker. They will try anything while you sit back and look for the calling/raising hands. I mean always be in a position you can call a raise with good hands. But don't be the one who bets the pots and gets to face 3 and 4 bets with a
weak hands on the button.

free tournaments is a game for fun, not for a permanent way to make money.

Broon1234 · Jul 8, 2016

For sure 70% of the people treat it like bingo. 30% will try to play decent but not many of them are actually good players. It's a great way to make a little money but the prizes are small and the pools are huge.

freestocks · Jul 8, 2016

C'mon we can adapt to any type of play.

edc1 · Jul 10, 2016

ppl play like that at every level-its more much more common to see this at the freeroll level

qkamara6ina · Jul 10, 2016

10,000 people for 200$ you say

those freerolls for 10$ in pokerstars with 10,000 people...how to play it seriosly?

MattRyder · Jul 10, 2016

Super tight in the first hour. When you have a good hand try to get all of the money in the middle and hope for the best. You need to get good cards - forget playing the player or even the situation (during that first hour) since most players are very, very loose and many just don't care what they play or what happens. Watch your stack size - you need to be deeper than everyone else at your table in order to make it past the bad beats that inevitably happen.

Gh0stL · Jul 10, 2016

I thing is better to play good hands and obtain more cheaps and will be agressive.

a good player always plays well,and he doesn't care how much in the tournament of 100 people or 10,000. bad that I'm not a player. IS NOT THE SAME.

luiaguila · Jul 10, 2016

I think the vast majority of freerolls make many people think badly of poker especially the number of participants and many simply prefer not to play them but if uqieres get to win some free have to play extremely aggressive and crazy

Gh0stL · Jul 10, 2016

I thing if you play with strategy and responsability, use the strategy learned is good.

korneel · Jul 10, 2016

Well, we play them because they're free.
And just play tight the first hour.

Indeed. I sometimes go all-in, in the begin of the tournament.
If i lose, it's not that bad because it's just a freeroll.
And If I win, I have a good beginstack.

You need to be more specific about what kind of tournaments you are talking about. If its something like Pokerstar's 100K privilege freerolls then no - I do not play them in any hopes of getting something whatsoever. Theres no point I occasionally have jumped in just for fun. Hovever there may be specific cases. Take Pokerstars 1 000 000 freeroll for example. That thing is worth a try! There surely are other cases so again - please be more specific about what kind of tournament are you talking about.

Sometimes freerolls are just fun, and a way to get to know other members and a little fun trash talking.
