- In fact, if Pre-Flop the dealer should give you AA, KK, QQ or AK, no matter what position you are in, you go all-in .
- If you find yourself in middle-position or late-position, you go all-in with a JJ and AQ, as long as no one has raised before you.
- With the lowest pairs (2-2, 3-3, 4-4, 5-5,6-6) you should raise if you are in middle position and late position at about 4 big blinds (or even more), in the in case no one has already raised.
- If you are in middle-position , you can even see the flop with a speculative hand , provided no one has already raised.
- Limpate (pay only the big blind ) if you have 2, 5, 4, 3, 2, with AK, AQ and AJ and so-calledmedium-high suited connectors (cards of the same suit in direct succession like 7 and 6 or Q and J) .

- if on the flop you hit a two pair or a higher value hand , regardless of where you are you go all-in ;
- with a good flush draw (at least one flush draw ) or a two-sided straight draw you can only go all-in if other players have already invested more chips.

How to play in the final round of the Texas Hold’em Poker Freeroll
The final phase of a Free Roll begins when your stack is made up of at least 20-25 big blinds and from now on the only strategy to adopt is to raise or fold .
As soon as a player raises, regardless of his position, go all-in if you have good cards, otherwise fold without hesitation, as calling in this is never a good choice.
Your gaming decisions must take into account the following factors:
- check the stack of other players (keep track of players with small stacks and only challenge them when you have good points in hand).
- stay away from players who use an aggressive style of play and have a bigger stack than yours, you should only face them if you have a good hand.
