10 Stone Cold Nuts Free Poker Tournament Sizzling Winners Edges/Game Busting Strategies

If you’ve played them you’ll know that free poker freerolls are a very special breed of poker tournament!

To be successful you need to approach the games in a certain way. Here are 10 critical tips that WILL help you win a load more online free poker tournaments.

1 – Patience is Critical
This rule is first because it is absolutely the most important for winning free poker usually have a many players and can take a few hours to finish. If you want to reach the final table you MUST be very patient.

2 – Be Aggressive
Freerolls are mostly multi-table tournaments and you will usually be seated at a table of ten throughout the tournament. This is a good thing in a way because this means you don’t need to adjust your playing style to suit a shorter table, but it also means that good hands should be played aggressively. Top pairs like AA and KK should always be raised strongly before the flop as they can often come unstuck after the flop.

3 – Play Few Hands.
As well as being aggressive you need to be controlled and play few selected hands. Don’t be tempted to play all the hands. Play tight and wait for the good hands, then play them aggressively. A good strategy is to fold hands with cards less than 9.

And know your hand names! Even in free poker it’s important that you know the names of the various hands so that shop talk from other players doesn’t throw your focus, e.g., AA = Bullets or American Airlines etc.

For example (and there are dozens more)

4 – Use your table position to your advantage.
For example, if you are first to third in betting, a QT is not that great a hand. There are 7-9 players after you and if any of them have a pair or an King or an Ace with Jack or Queen then you’ve got problems. But if you’re at the end of the betting and you can check or call, then your QT becomes a better prospect. If nobody has raised yet then your Queen might be good and it is certainly worth having a look at the flop.

5 – Vary your play. Be unpredictable.
While you must be patient and wait for good hands, be sure not to become too predictable. If you play only big hands and always raise then your opponents are going to start backing down and let you take the blinds. In such a situation you can’t win enough to keep in the game as you are playing too few hands.

6 – Avoid bluffing.
I advise that generally you don’t bluff. In freeroll free poker there are 10 players so there is a very high probability that someone has a good hand each time and will go up against you. If you must bluff never go all-in, it’s almost certain that you’ll be called by a good hand and blown up.

7 – Take care on draws
Draws (e.g. you have 5,7 and there is a 6 and 8 in the flop) can be very tempting. But they can be very dangerous too. If you chase draws you could end up losing a lot of your chips. Don’t ever bet too much on these.

8 – Watch your opponents and their playing style.
Observing opposing players can give you the edge in free poker tournament. Learn how they bet pre-flop and post-flop, their play style, their aggression etc.

9 – Focus
Keep your focus and do not multi-task when you’re playing in a poker tournament. You’ll do a lot better if you focus 100%.

10 – Treat freeroll Free Poker Tournament seriously.
OK free poker might be low risk with low money loss (in the case of NoPayPOKER no loss risk at all) BUT you are investing your time and it’s good to win so play like it’s the WSOP!

And remember one thing whenever you play in free poker freerolls you’re getting valuable experience by playing against a wide range of player types, styles and attitudes. This can only be a positive thing especially if you’re ambitious and the free poker tournament world is just your starting block on your WSOP journey! Good luck and see you at the NoPayPOKER freeroll tables.
