You can play tournaments from freerolls to larger buy in tournaments online almost every day. Don't dismiss a 5,000-person freeroll event as a waste of time, because the reality is, with the number of players that will play this years' WSOP, you will run into every type and style of player imaginable. You have to learn how to dodge as many landmines as you possibly can to survive and flourish in a WSOP tournament. Playing in these large field events online, whether it's a buy in or a freeroll, can give you this valuable experience, and teach you how to pick good spots to get your money into pots. Hopefully, with some luck, you will be able to get yourself chipped up and, in doing so, give yourself added flexibility in the way you can approach your tournament.
