Why Play Freerolls?

Freeroll tournaments give online poker players the opportunity to win tons of cash, sometimes thousands of dollars, without investing any of their own money. The guaranteed prize pool is posted by the poker room, and the amount cannot be any more or less because add-ons and rebuys are not available. Why not take advantage of this? If not for the money, for the experience.
Freerolls allow amateur players to practice different strategies on their fellow users. This gives you a way to up your game against bloodthirsty aggressive players without the cost. It’s all well and good practicing for play money, but how many REALLY good players do you see in the play money tables? If they’re good, they’re going to be trying to get some cash! SO! If you kind of suck and plan to make any money at poker in the future, you’ve gotta learn how to play these guys, and that can be an expensive habit. Freerolls, baby.
So, you’re trying to beat an aggressive player in a freeroll. By all means, be aggressive back. Freerolls, because they’re free, can last a pretty long while with a small payout, so get a move on or you’ll be there all day. The goal is to attack fish players to build a good stack – hit a good flop and double or triple up – or bust out. None of your money is at stake, so don’t try bluffing before the flop. Since there’s nothing to lose for anyone, most every pre-flop hand gets called by at least one player. Just play hands that have huge payoff potential, and either make them pay off or move on.
If you get down to a heads up battle for first place, look to raise almost every hand, no matter what your cards if the other player is the type who will fold on a regular basis. If he plays back you can fold your junk, but many times the opponent will practically blind themselves out. You shouldn’t feel much pressure in this sort of tournament, again because it doesn’t cost you anything. So you’re more confident, and when you’re more confident, you play better.
