MTT Strategy
So today I played a Full Tilt Poker freeroll trying to play tight until the crowd got small (150 out of 900 left). Is this the right MTT strategy?
BTW I finished 64th...made some mistakes...if I hadn't made those I could have made it far. |

For freerolls, you just want play tight and put your money in only when you have the premium hands. There's too many loose/poor players that start these tourneys. You want those guys to knock each other out. And when the opportunity comes, you want to make them pay. This way is only effective if you're able to get a few quality hands. You also need your races to win. There's always the element of lucky, but you usually can just sit back for the good part of the first and half hour of most freerolls before you start to really play.

Opportunity knocks
I think the early rounds in huge tourneys is really about waiting for an opportunity. My goal is to win enough with premium hands to enable me limp in with Ax suited or mid-connectors. And when the perfect flops hits, I'm poised to double up, which is a neccesity to be in the running with a field that large.

In a tourney like this I wouldn't play tight quite that long (until 150 left). But I think it is a good idea to play tight for the earlier part. Especially in freerolls, when a good part of the field are just terrible players who will knock themselves out fairly quickly. Until the fish are cleared out don't bet a hand unless you're pretty sure you will win the pot, and don't take any unnecessary stupid risks. In general accumulate some chips when you can, but save yourself for when the competition gets at least to a reasonable level.
