Poker Ladbrokes / Coral - daily freeroll advice welcome?

Hi there,

Does anyone else play the Ladbrokes or Coral daily poker freeroll?

I am looking for some advice on how to play this tournament, from anyone who plays it regularly.

Normal poker play doesn't seem to work as people are prepared to call no matter what, and with that, I am getting bad beats fairly often. I've had ridiculously bad beats against AA and AK quite often.

So my revised strategy recently has been to play super tight, which gets me into the money earning positions. But with this approach I'm not getting much further than the early rewards as my stack is generally pretty low.

Do I have to be a bit braver and bet harder to build a bigger stack early on? Being prepare to lose to bad beats is perhaps part of this game.

Best I've got is 12th out of a usual amount of 1500 players.

Any advice welcome for this game.

Thanks

Edit - should point out that I'm a pretty new and bad poker player...!
