Best Strategy for Playing Freerolls on WPT Global – Worth the Time?

[blackstore0007]

Hi everyone,

I’ve been grinding some freerolls lately on WPT Global and I’m curious about how others approach them.

The fields are usually huge and early stages feel like pure chaos — lots of all-ins, random shoves, and players with nothing to lose. I’ve been trying two different approaches:

1. Tight early, avoid coin flips, wait for value.
2. Play more aggressively early to build a stack while people are gambling.

Sometimes it works, sometimes I bust in the first 20 minutes 😅

For those of you who regularly cash or go deep in freerolls:

• Do you adjust strategy early vs late stages?
• Is it better to play ultra-tight until antes kick in?
• How do you handle constant short-stack shoves?
• Do you think freerolls are actually profitable long-term or mostly good for practice?

Would love to hear how you guys approach them.

Thanks and good luck at the tables! ♠️
