What do you think what is the most effective playing style in those Bankrollmob Leaderboard Freerolls? Maybe playing tight in the early blind levels to build a good table image to play weak hands later in the case if nothing hits you can be good? Or playing loose in the early blind levels to win the most pots when you find something on board can be good to?
Whatever you think about it please share with the community here! I want to playe some good Leaderboard Freerolls with good opponents to find out who is a better player. Maybe the posts about the playing style makes pepole to think about it and then this thread makes those freerolls better.

your talking about BRM freerolls, so no thread will make them better. These games are highjacked by other forums and filled with bingo players. But i guess the most effective way to play these is to play tight at the start, untill most of the bingo players are gone.

There is no style for these kind of games. All you can do is adapting your game depending on the players around and what stage of the game you are. Also having a wider spectrum of cards for shoving all in preflop is a must in these games.

...On FT,...I more or less play like SBEP says...
...PokerStars...? Now THAT is a whole other thing...
...being that it's filled with cheaters, bingo queens, donks and idiots,...and various OTHER types of cockroaches,.... AND the endless number of players with 2 or 3, 5 or 9,...or even TWELVE different accounts playing like idiots and ruining it all,... I....:
a) Keep shoving until stacked or DEAD...
b) Continually send smoke signals by persistantly betting 420 chips UNTIL stacked or DEAD,...
or
c) Instead of numbers and letters,...I go by what the top of the number or letter looks like
i.e. ...: a 6 or a queen are round on top,...whereas a 7 or a 5 are FLAT on top,...and aces or 4s are POINTY on top...!
you can have 5 of a kind quite easily...: 444AA .....5 'Pointies' wins...

Hello my friends and fellow mobsters
There is no way or skill that will turn you into a regular winner on those freerolls the main quality that you will need is pure luck to overcome the massive amount of donks kamikase players and a all sort of crazy players

Just play your regular game although you will find al sort of players and i suggest that you play the one on FT cause less players. Dont think that in playing one game a day you will make top 30 of the board. You will have to be dedicated and play at least 3 games a day and you could do very good. Wish you luck in trying.

JJ vs JQ Q shows up on the board. The very next hand had JJ again. Pushed all-in with 590 chips. 88 vs AJ vs JJ (( had a set on board. Well this is a huge sh*tload somedays...

If you want to face less of such situations you will need to play tournaments with higher value than this one. Many players in there arent even members here, so they dont even care about the points that can place them in the money with the leader board. So they are just trying to hit the money.

In freeroll tournaments Leaderboard most are fishes, it's a wild tournament where any a*****e pulls an all-in with 7 2 If you play as it should and as they say the books and experts, surely lose It is a tournament to play like an idiot and try to accumulate chips at least in the first part

I made that way. Going all in with crazy hands to chase a few outs for a straight a flush or an overpair. Then i managed my stack to the first place. I folded bad hands until i get bored. I started a loose agressive session in my play. I have lost a few chips then i started to bet hard when everybody checks. So i have taken down few bigger pots with pure nothing. I have showed my hole cards after those winnings. Then i get 77 when i was the BB. Guy bets 4 BB from the button. SB calls. I raise to 10BB guy goeas all-in and the another too. I call. Everything has runned smooth untel the river. A queen has came. They got AQ and KQ. 3A 3K 2Q in the deck and one bitch came. 43.97% vs 33.86% vs 21.14%... Approx. 170K pot. It is a SAD STORY... But won 10 cents LOL!

You dont need to be that aggressive, all the game. You got a big stack, in early stages, then you need to control your game, dont play agro every hand. You have the chips to take you further and at some point the low stacks, as the blind increases, will start losing, making it easier to reach higher. Winning 10 cents is better than nothing
