    wonder how the the big players would fair in the 10k player freerolls on stars?.whose game would be suited best to naviagte the minefield it is? would it be impossible?? i think you could even argue that not one of the top 50 players ranked would ever FT it even.

    thoughts?

    The top 50 players would have a much LARGER shot of FT'ing or winning these than you or I. Because they are better players. This should be obvious.

    Just because they're able "get people to fold" in higher levels (which they're not always able to do, but I think that the OP is indirectly saying this) doesn't mean they don't make the necessary adjustments when they get to a freeroll.

    not sure it directly matters if you are a pro or not..its all about strategy, timing, knowledge, and a little luck..being aware that you are better than most/all at your table and that they are not as knowledeable as you are during the tournament is key..just dodging bullets is not good enough..dodging bullets usually occurs in the first hour of these freerolls, almost like a rebuy, after that your skill will push you deep..playing your cards only early is key, well timed aggression later is just as important,,gl
