If you're into Freeroll and need advice as to how to make it to the end, use the Freeroll tournament strategy here, featuring advice on two of its stages.

Freerolls are designed to benefit players who have obvious Poker skills but lack the cash to play in big stake games. As such, it is an excellent way to test and try the different poker strategies available. The following is strategy for two of the stages in a Freeroll tournament:

Strategy for the first 1.5 hours:
• Starting hands:
o Pursue starting hands of AA, KK and AK.
o Raise up to 4 times the minimum if you are in a late position with AK, AQ and QQ.
o Raise up to 4 times the minimum or 20% worth of your chips if you have any pair down to a 6, 6.
• After the flop:
o Bet twice the minimum bet or 20% worth of your chips if you have a pair and over cards on the table, or a 4 flush or 4 straight. Fold to any bet larger.
o If you have a 2 pair with unpaired table card, bet up to 4 times the minimum. Do not exceed a raise that is 50% of your chips unless you have a strong pair and a chance of a straight or flush.
o Play slowly after the flop if you have a straight, full house or trips.

Strategy for the final hour:
• Starting hands:
o Pursue starting hands of AA, KK and AK. If you are the big blind, call a raise if it means being the first.
o Raise up to 4 times the minimum if you are in a late position with AK, AQ and QQ. If not then call a raise less than 20% worth of your chips.
o Raise up to 4 times the minimum or 20% worth of your chips if you have any pair down to an 8,8.
• After the flop:
o Same as above in first 1.5 hours!
• Playing style:
o Be aggressive – don't just call, but raise. If a hand isn't worth going all-in for, fold it. Try to steal the pot prior to the flop if you can.
o When raising make sure it doesn't exceed: the chips stack of your competitor, the size of the short stack, the amount of the pot, or 4 times the minimum bet.
o Take your time with each bet – it'll prevent your competitors from better reading your moves.
