What’s the Biggest Mistake Players Make in Freerolls?

[BaldHead]

The biggest mistake that players make in freerolls is playing too tight and cautiously, trying “not to lose chips,” instead of taking the opportunity to build a stack and play aggressively to climb the rankings.
Important points in freerolls:
Playing actively in the early stages – many are afraid to enter hands, missing the chance to build a stack.
Ignoring position – weak players often overlook the critical importance of table position in decision-making.
Misusing all-ins and bluffs – out of fear of losing chips, players rarely apply aggression, even though in freerolls this is one of the best ways to build a stack.
Not calculating odds and pot size – many players fail to use basic math to evaluate profitable situations.

Freerolls are a great way to practice bankroll management and gain experience without risk. Sometimes the fields are big, but patience pays off.

A big mistake I see often for beginners is playing garbage hands when its close to the money, pretty sure we have all done it at some stage.

I see people shoving all in, with not even a big blind from the button when they have enough antes to get through the next 2 hands and make the money, its baffling especially when they get eliminated with KTo.
