Play only with strong hands and try to fold if u have low hand and dont call if u are on BB and someone raised it just fold( if u had low hand )

It's up to you, noone can tell you how to play a hand, because every time the board cards will be different.

I could tell you to fold every time you get AA and once you would thank me because someone would have caught a flush, and if you played 7/2o all the time, you could flop quads every once in a while.

yes sometimes I see that in freerols but for example you play with A5 suited, blinds 200-400, you have about 16k chips you call or fold?

rise? interisting action

Play tight when you are chipleader, because rising blinds is not a problem too you, shouldn't be aggresive, only with sure hand:)

u know , it's really hard to say exactly how to stay him. you cant fold all the time when u waiting for strong hand - blinds eats your stack. So u must improvize . If u haven't got nuts after flop , make them think u have but don't need to push "all-in" only . When u play lot,starting known poeple,what they do , when they bluffs, rises with nothing only to scare u , when u can see that "something is wrong with cards and opoonent after ch - ch - all-in , or ch - all - in on table " and so on. u need to play lot of hands, must learn a lot of patience(when saying lot - thats mean a lot (Only dont look at my game style - i don't have patience in poker ) , u must feel the situation , see throw all your opponents . thats really hard . and u know sometimes even if u did everything perfect - luck can be your oponent. so - u can simply make model how to keep growing your stack,how to improve your game - but even pross are loosing. So, make analyzis of your self - you know your weakness - so try to fiox it. u will see - it will gave u improvement.after that - start to make new lesson or barrier for your self
So, really dont know how to help you more. It's my opinion.

You help me really good, thanks you

Play like that you're playing in shortstack, but braver, don't try to bluff

i dont really think that freerols ar game of skill? I know only one thing. SLOWPLAY a really good hand. You`ll catch a lot of pot looters, who call their all in with top pair(like nines) after the flop, when you have bigger pockets

When I'm a chipleader I usually try to steal blinds from small stacked players untill I get a good hand

Sometimes i bluff, sometimes i rise Sometimes i wait good blinds...
