If you want to do well in the freeroll tournament you have to have patience. If you are playing 10J and you think thats a good hand, stop and fold it because thee are alot of hand that beat it. Having the patience to wiat for the good hands is good because there are always poele going out. I went into a 6000 person freeroll in pokerstars and buy the 1sy hour it was down to 3000. So if u wait people will be gone. dont get scared because someone have 50,000 and you have 2,000 because if u play your hands right, you will double up anddouble up and double up to get to that 50,000 or more.
I was at around 15,000 and it was near the end of that 6000 person tourney and i had to wait and wait and wait through the blinds, but then pocket jacks, all in, double up... im at 30,000.. next hand pocket kings, doubel up to 60,000, now im back in it i waited and other 10 mintues got pocket 6's raied the pot got called, 6 on flop , all in now up to 120,00 and so on. I got up to 400,000+ untill i had to leave, but i still came in 13th place. So if u have the patience to wait througt those unplayable hand you will become a great poker player. I works playign at home or online.
If there is anything I would say to anybody about playing tourneys with large numbers it would be have patience. Patience is hard. Patience is frustrating sometimes. But it will keep you in the game. Remember the guide for starting hands and know that most others you are playing with don't. I don't have a wealth of knowledge but do know this.
while patience is the most/one of the most important things in poker and excpecially online poker since you cant read peoples body language like you could live, you can have too much patience and wait too long for cards to come when you need to make a move with maybe something worse then a high pocket pair or AK,excpecially when really short stacked.also, seeing a few flops with statistically worse hands is sometimes a good idea too. otherwise your play becomes very predictable.if playing against decent/good opponents if you only play very good hands after a couple of times they will start to notice and their play will adjust to counter your tightness.
Vicious Machine...if you go all-in with pocket jacks then you might as well go all-in with pocket two's because your win ratio will probably be the same...any one calling you with unpaired hands is going to have 2 overcards to you....if they don't hit...then you win, just as you would with pocket 2's and if they hit you will lose, just as you would with pocket 2's....the chances of them hitting their unpaired cards is small and your chances of getting a set is very very small....your thinking as to whether you should go all-in with your pocket J's or your pocket 2's should not depend as much on the cards as much as the question....can my bank survive a loss. However your best chance of winning with those cards is an all-in where it gets down to one opponent because with a full table you only have a prayer of a chance.
As far as the most important thing for new players to know, I think it is the hand strengths. I'm not just talking about knowing that 7 2 off is lousy and AA is great, but which hands fall into the realm of "premium hands" and which ones are further down the scale. I know that when I first started playing I thought anytime I had a face card I was golden, but the truth is that J 10 simply isn't that great of a hand. Neither is Q 10 or K 9 or something like that. I think new players need to commit the hand rankings to memory and use that as a guide to assist tough decisions about whether a hand is worth playing facing certain situations.
