What is the “Free Look” in the Big Gorilla and Main Event Tournaments? For most new players, this is a term that they have never heard of. Although it’s in the rules, it isn’t really obvious to most, if they even read the rules.

It’s a loophole that few #HighStakesBros want to talk about during draft season, lest they give up even the smallest competitive edge. We categorize this as more of ‘tribal knowledge’ among the more experienced players of the format. Some may have heard the term mentioned on a draft stream or in social media posts, but to our knowledge, it’s not something that has been explained clearly or widely publicized to newer players. Even if you read the rules carefully, examples of how it is used in practice are not well know and understood. We’ll try to explain this here in its simplest terms, but of course, #DontTellAnyone else. #HighStakesBros like to keep this information within their inner circle as much as possible, of course.
