Poker Freerolls Strategy
Around the beginning of the 3rd round I
adjust my strategy and begin playing what
I consider to be the top 9 hand in poker.
They are AA, KK, QQ, AK, JJ, 1010, AQ, 99,
88. I will play the first five of these hand
with a raise from any position. The last
four I will raise if I'm in late position, and
just call if I'm in early position. Position
refers to where you are at in respect to the
dealer. Early position would be the players
to the left of the dealer.

Late position are the players to the right of the dealer who are also the last to
act. Being in late position gives you an advantage by allowing you to see
what the other players have already done with their cards. Back to the
strategy, I will play very aggressive with the top 9 hands. There is no use in
slow playing and trying to trap anyone in a poker freeroll. You are better off
playing aggressive. Someone will almost always give you action. You must
be willing to go all in when playing with the top 9 hands. For example. I have
JJ, and raise a couple 100 before the flop and get 3 callers. The flop comes
5,6,Q. I will then go all in on my next turn to bet. You don't want to let the
players who are trying to make a straight or flush stay in for free. If they are
going to outdraw you, the you want them to risk all their chips to do it.
My strategy changes once again around 6th round, usually after the 5 min.
break most tournaments have after the first hour. I then begin to loosen up
and play more cards, but only in late position. From late position, with no
raises I will play any 2 hole cards of the same suit and connected (suited
connectors) ie. 6,7 of hearts. I will play the top 9 beginning hands from any
position. Hopefully by now there are not too many of the crazy players. Now
you can be more strategic about your bets implement trapping, bluffing, and
semi-bluffing techniques. Trapping is only advisable when you have a
monster hand like a full house, high flush, etc. When you trap someone you
hope they will attempt to bluff you out of the pot or that they catch something
decent like 2 pairs and bet big, and then you reraise all in with your monster
hand. Semi-bluffing is making a bet on a draw. For instance, you have a flush
draw, and only need 1 more card to make a flush. You can bet, and maybe
when the pot right there if everyone folds. If people call, and you hit your flush
then it worked out and the pot is now bigger because of your bet earlier. If you
miss your flush on the next card, everyone might check to you because of
your earlier bet. You now get to see the river (last card) for free.
Finally my poker tournament strategy changes when it gets late in the
tournament. The idea is to win money. The worst feeling is finishing 19th
when only 18 place get paid out. I will go back to my first round strategy of
only playing AA, KK, and AK until I am "in the money." After that I will revert
back to the loose strategy and try to win it all.
I wish you good luck with your online poker playing. A good online strategy for
online gambling in general would be to make sure to use the free casino
bonuses offered by some casinos.
