Can't you bluff in freerolls?  Yes, you can.  The problem with bluffing in general is people believe there are way more bluffs than there really are. Top professionals won't deny they bluff at times, but they also admit they will on bluff rarely.  If you play in a live tournament and bluff more than a few times you may be over doing it. I am not talking about semi bluffs but pure I have garbage type of bluffs.

2nd problem most have is making a good smart bluff.  You want to have some read on the player you're against and know if they can and will fold to a bluff.  3rd problem is a good bluff is telling a good story that you have a good hand and want value from there call. Of course, we don't want the call, but they need to think we want one. Even if you want to pull the trigger on the bluff you may not always be able to. Let say the river is a junk card like a 2.  You 3 bet preflop and called a 4 bet.  The flop and turn go check check and all possible draws missed.   Putting a bit bet on that river as a bluff would not be wise and you're representing why? A set of 2's on the river.  Remember i said you 3 bet.  If the story does not make sense the bluff may not work.

As for free rolls.  Yes, bluffs can work but remember you have to know the players you're against.  These players do call to much so if you want the bluff to work you really need to make sure the story is good, or it won't work.
