i focused pretty hard on the prima freerolls for a while, and i had pretty good results. back when they capped the number of entrants at 500, I won a $500 freeroll (good for $125), and then I made a couple more final tables, good for another $100 or so. I also made the final table of a fulltilt beta point freeroll, which was good for about 30 bucks.

i found that this was a very good way to learn how to play the game in a muchless risk averse setting, but after a while it just became too much of a drain. it didnt make sense to play for 4 hours and end up winning five bucks, or missing the money entirely.

as for strategy, i always played very tight for the beginning rounds, because people were pushing it in like crazy. if you only play premium hands and dont worry about stealing pots until after the first break, you can be in very good shape.
