PokerBRB freeroll and tournament league in March
Sunday, February 28th, 2010 | Poker Articles, Poker Freeroll | No Comments
After successfully changing host from the amateurs at UK2Net to my new best friends at eukHost, the PokerBRB Freeroll and Tournament league starts up again in March.
Previously the PokerBRB tournament league has been all about freerolls, but unfortunately the passwords for these were leaked to multiple online forums specialized in gathering and sharing freeroll passwords for their members. This meant that our regular players often found themselves on tables were most of their opponents were either sitting out or played crazy bingo poker.
As a result we’ve taken an alternative approach to the league in March and focused on low buyin private tournaments.
Here’s the private buyin tournament schedule on Poker Nordica in March:
- Wednesday the 3rd, 10th and 17th of March: 2$ + 0,2$ private buyin tournament
- Friday the 5th, 12th and 19th of March: 3$ + 0,3$ private buyin tournament
- Sunday the 7th, 14th and 21st of March: 5$ + 0,5$ private buyin tournament
If you don’t have a Poker Nordica account, we have a great Poker Nordica bonus deal. Click here for more details.
As usual, when you finish in the money during the month, you get points towards the overall PokerBRB leaderboard.
The top 10 on the leaderboard after the series above has been played will receive a ticket to our sweet monthly final, a 200$ added 5$ +0,5$ buyin SNG on Poker Nordica, the 28th of March.
In addition the 1st place finisher on our leaderboard after the 9 private buyin tournaments have been played will win a one month membership to GrinderSchool. If you don’t know what GrinderSchool is, you can read my review of GrinderSchool here.

Freeroll strategy

Freerolls
Many poker players look down on freerolls because they feel they’re above it. They view them as meaningless repositories for poor players who can’t afford the buy-in for proper tournaments or cash games. The truth is though that many of the world’s best players exercise games in freerolls because they provide a means of earning cash with zero risk. Annette Obrestad, winner of the WSOPE 2007, and Tom Durrrr Dwan both built up their monumental bankrolls from freerolls. With the standard level in these games very low, freeroll tournaments provide an excellent way of making coinage with large guaranteed prizepools.
Freeroll Tournament Strategy
Freerolls encumber poor competition by nature. Because of this, regular MTT strategy is not necessarily the best approach. With weak players, you should aim to play more aggressive than usual with limited players in the pot, however at the beginning stages of a tournament your starting hand range should only include premium hands such as AK, JJ etc.
The reason freerolls are so easy is because accumulating chips is so easy in the beginning and middle stages of a freeroll tournament. Blind stealing, value shoving and pure bluffs will all work for you. Accumulating chips at the middle stage in any tournament is one of the most important factors for succeeding. It affords you the ability to play pure poker and control the table and bluff blinds. Because of the weakness of players generally in freerolls, you should always bet a flop with 2 opponents or less. Chances are a half-pot or pot-sized bet will fold any player who’s missed the pot. In terms of differences between freeroll strategy and regular cash tournaments, I’d also recommend no squeeze play for the sake of a bluff. Players won’t be at a high enough level to read a strong hand, so faking one will do more bad than good at this level.
The most important feature of winning freeroll players is to be particular where you bluff. Because many new poker players are curious and will like to call hands down till the river, you’ll find bluffing a player off the pot quite difficult if they’ve managed to hit anything or on a flush draw. I recommend only bluffing in the early stages of a pot and trying to steal the blinds. Here you’ll find plenty of value to accumulate chips faster than your opponents.
Final Table Strategy
Most of the players who reach the final table of large freerolls (100 players +) are generally a higher standard than average in the tournament. Because of this, you should stick to basic MTT strategy with respect to your starting hand range. When the game becomes short-handed, you should open your range to include suited connectors, any pockets, and any two high cards. You’ll also notice that most the action at the final table of any tournament occurs preflop. Players rarely pay to see the flop without shoving their chips all in. This is basically because the blinds are so high, that anyone with a top starting hand is happy to take the pot down there. This also happens because of the variance and price of paying to see the flop and missing.
