Taking Down BetOnline's Freerolls

This is something that is very easy to do, provided that you play with just a little bit of discipline.  I will give step by step instructions and explanations for how to do this.

1) At the very lowest limits, don't be too tight.  Everyone is playing loose at this stage and it is a great time to get some chips.  You should be in a lot of pots and as long as you aren't playing anything worse than middle pair you should end up with about 3000 chips in 15 minutes of less.
2) At this point a lot of the super-fish are out, so you have to play some poker.  Still don't be too afraid to be in a lot of pots, and overbetting can be very useful here against anyone with <1000 20="20" 30="30" about="about" are="are" around="around" as="as" best="best" bust.="bust." chips.="chips." chips="chips" fter="fter" go="go" have="have" minutes="minutes" nbsp="nbsp" not="not" of="of" p="p" should="should" their="their" they="they" this="this" to="to" trying="trying" you="you">3) This is where you have to start focusing a little bit, as less than 10% of the registered players are still in.  Steal blinds wherever possible, and don't EVER go all in unless you have the nuts.  It isn't worth losing it all after all this work.  As the blinds increase, steal them where you can, and try to let them just take out the players with smaller chip stacks.  Hopefully by now you have about 60,000 chips.
4) You're definitely cashing now, but you want to get to the final table.  Play super tight, steal blinds when you're in late position and no one else is in, and only get involved in pots if you have a pretty good hand, I would say ATs or better.  Playing like this will get you to the final table, as a lot of people will play loose as soon as they realize that they're in the money.
5) At the final table, play tight.  The blinds are massive, so you might not have the time to wait for a great hand.  If you can steal blinds, do it.  They are huge, as I mentioned.

If you follow these steps, you will definitely end up at the final table.  From there, it is on you to have your opponents figured out so that you can beat them.  Good luck, and if you see JIC3 at the tables, you've found me.
