I have to say that would be a hard hand for me to let go of....especially on the flop...but when that king came on the turn you almost have to give it up.

in my opinion it all depends on what site your on.alot of site if you pay attention pay some hands more then others.(example)8-8 is one of the luckiest hands on poker host/then there k-3 on pure play.for some resson these hands have won around 75% of the time i've seen them.I know there not very good but on those sites.there kill hands.I've seen more broken a's and k's with those 8's at poker host then i care to even think about.A-A at most sites only wins after the flop,unless you can get the suckouts to fold.

Hi! I've recently started playing freerolls on different pokersites. There are always some maniacs going all-in at their first time to act. My strategy has been to call with premium hands such as AA-KK-QQ (maybe AK if the bet is uncalled) and try to double up and play very tight. After a couple of blind-raises and some of the maniacs out, I try to limp in with low pocket pairs or drawing cards such as J8 suited. So far I've been good at trapping the opponents to lose all their chips if I draw a set, straight or flush, and it's easy to fold the hand if I don't improve. It is the mid and late part of the tournament I have problems with. Which hands should I play? How should I play them? Raise (how much?), limp in?

And, if I don't find these great hands early and double up, how low should I let my chip stack go (compaired to the average stack) before I make my move?

Hoping for some good answers

sorry can't give advice,but I like the way your doing it so far.
ok alittle advice.I recomend go with your feelings if you feel it's time to go in,go in.I personally can't stand the all-in crowd at the begining of almost every free roll.so I tend to play badly in the begining.stick to what works for you and don't let it ware on you.gl hope to see you on the felt.check out penny's free roll at pitbull poker use the link from this site.she left the password on the thread for the tourney so check it out.

Thank you for responding. Just lost in a freeroll with an all-in AQ suited vs A4 offsuit. Of course the 4 came on the river

My strategy so far have worked out ok, seem to make it to the pretty far almost every freeroll. I even earned 2$ for a good place. I know it's not much, but it's a start.

I'll check out the tournament you mentioned and I hope to see you at the table
