General Freeroll Strategy

[MovingFlea]

Here is a general freeroll strategy that I see employed by most players in the freerolls. Go ahead and try it yourself if you don't know what else to do.

Pre-Flop

Go ahead and call with level 3 cards (any ace card, a face card with a 9, suited face cards, pairs). Raise with level 1 cards (AA, KK, QQ, JJ). If someone raises a little bit, just call with level 3 cards. If your on the dealer button, raise with level 3 cards.

Flop

If you have top pair, or over pair and you did not call a pre-flop raise. Bet the pot. If people go all in, you go all in. Otherwise, check.

Check 100% of the time if you called a pre-flop raise. If your opponent bets, call with a pair, ace high, drawing hands (two overs, flush, straight). If you have top pair, re-raise. If your opponent checks, bet no matter what you have.


Turn

If you bet the flop or reraised. Keep betting.

Keep calling and checking with any pairs and draws.

River

If you bet the turn keep betting.

If you have missed draws, now is the time to check or fold. If you have a bad pair and there is a big bet from opponent, fold.


Notes

A good bet is a pot sized bet on the flop, half the pot on the turn and river.

A good pre-flop raise is 3X the size of the big blind.

If low on chips, it doesn't matter what you do. It's all about luck at this point, any play is good.

Always say Good Game when someone is knocked out.

This is not a strategy meant to maximize your profits. No strategy in the world can make you better, only YOU can. Strategies are meaningless unless you know why you are following them.
