Frey is known for his tight-aggressive style, using positional advantage to control pots. Based on hand histories, he tends to aggressively raise with strong hands but carefully assesses risk when deep-stacked. At final tables, he can leverage chip leads to pressure opponents, though he has also been outdrawn after aggressive shoves. Overall, Frey is competitive in low-to-mid stakes events but has yet to break through in higher buy-in tournaments.
