One important question is - How many chips are I needed to get into the money? I played in a Freeroll recently with a start of about 200 people and $1500 in chips. I stayed away from getting knocked out and used the following money strategy as a minimum:
End of the 1st hour:
About 100 people left, doubled up to $3000 by playing quality cards and staying away from the All-in Donkeys (ie. go for a big win after a quality flop). Blinds are 50/100
End of the 2nd hour:
Around 50 people left, try to double up to $6000.
Most of the sitouts are gone by now. Blinds are 500/1000
By the time, there were 25-30 people left, $12,000 made it into the money by folding most of my hands. Got busted out at the final table to two premium hands. Comments?
