My Goal

Not in a hurry to reach it, but I want to build a bankroll off of freerolls. I have heard a lot of other people trying this. I am going to be playing in the CardsChat freerolls and in the 10FPP PokerStars freerolls.

I won't be playing it like it is a freeroll but like it is a real tournament, so far I have almost never not cashed in a freeroll that I took serious ($0.10 or not...)

I might not play every day....just matters how life goes on that.

Any advice anyone can give me that has tried this before? At what $xx.00 amount should I start going to small SnG buy-ins / low limit cash games?

Thanks

If you are making your bankroll off of only freerolls, how are you going to build up PokerStars FPPs?

Best of luck

I got my BR up to about $11 from freerolls on Full Tilt, then had a bad run and I'm back down to a useless 88c. Time to start over again!
