What a freeroll is
A freeroll is a tournament with no buy-in. Clubs run them to welcome new members and keep the community active. Because entry is free, fields are loose and play is unpredictable — which rewards patience.
Early stage: survive the chaos
Many players shove wide early because they have nothing to lose. Tighten up: play strong pairs and big aces, avoid marginal calls, and let others knock each other out.
Middle and late stage: switch gears
Once blinds rise and the field shrinks, steal blinds from late position, pressure short stacks and avoid risking your tournament on coin flips when you have a comfortable stack.
Mistakes that bust new players
The usual culprits:
- Calling all-ins with weak aces early.
- Ignoring stack sizes.
- Playing too many hands out of position.
- Tilting after one bad beat.
