Acho que começar um torneio é bem mais difícil do que qualquer outra coisa. Todo mundo joga de um jeito maluco hoje em dia. Não sei o que fazer no começo. xD xD xD
True. There are so many all-ins with AA and at the same time with 38o that there is nothing else to do but wait a little to see if you survive. When the crazy ones leave, there is less than 15 BB left to play.

The tight-aggressive tactic works great at the very beginning, but in freerolls I just wait for good cards and punish the limpers. I don't have to bluff — people give me anything anyway. As soon as the chaos subsides, I open up and start playing more spots.
That's right. That's the tactic.

freeroll strategy - play tightly aggressive, but is your time worth the prizes?
I don't think it's about the prizes. more likely it's about building confidence. I don't like to play when I am in a tilt anymore. so I am really grateful for freerolls existing to rebuild my confidence.

Strategy #1
🎯 1. Play tight-aggressive at the start
At the first levels, many players go all-in. Avoid this mistake: play few hands, but aggressively (raising instead of just calling).
yeah totaly agree with that style, builing stack at the begin of tourney with that style for me is perfect

Strategy #5
🧠 5. Observe opponents' patterns
Use the first levels to identify loose, tight, aggressive or passive players. These readings will be useful later on.

Sim, concordo totalmente com esse estilo. Construir um stack no início do torneio dessa forma é perfeito para mim.
There are players who do that, but by luck. They go all-in with any hand and win. Then they play more cautiously afterwards.

Acho que não se trata dos prêmios. Provavelmente, tem mais a ver com recuperar a confiança. Não gosto mais de jogar quando estou frustrado, então sou muito grato pela existência dos freerolls, que me ajudam a reconstruir minha confiança.
True. And it doesn't cost much for this recovery.

Strategy #10

🧊 10. Keep your emotions in check

Don't get involved in ego battles, don't go all-in just for revenge, and don't tilt when you get bad beats. Focus on the long term and play coolly.
