The thing about free rolls

Being a US player, I have had to lower myself to playing free rolls and pure play, and have found to my disgust that my play over the last 2-3 months has really gotten BAD!! I can't even say that I play better than my husband anymore. And that is REALLY BAD!!!

After the whole thing with the internet gambling laws I stopped playing for a long time, what was the point? But I really missed it,so I started with pure play. Don't get me wrong, its fine, you can't lose money, only your monthly fee. And that was a great thing, my husband always ran out my party poker account to $0.00 no mater if I had $20.00 in it or $500.00, everytime I would log on it was gone. That of course was my fault for letting him play on my account. No whining there.

This is really just to let everyone know that if you do the free rolls and pure play, it seems normal for someone to go all in with 2 3 off suit, and win!! Watch out!!! Your play, no matter how good it was, will suffer. It seems like I have to learn the game all over, and it is harder now not to make those foolish calls that I would never have thought of making before. So, wish me luck as I go back to the ground basics, and learn it all over again.

to me its not about starting to learn all over again, to me its more like any poker player will always be learning no matter how long you have or will play, so really its just more stuff you have to learn

I agree with curtis, i personally think you were actually learning stuff while playing freerolls, like how to adjust to loose players for example

best thing is to show up late, or wait for a guaranteed hand and then after about 30 minutes things cool off a bit

You are all right, yes you do learn from the loose players, you just have to make sure you don't get loose. For me its just I get Very P***** when I have a a great starting hand that will lose every time to a crap hand. Can't see the folp unless you follow the all iners, and watch them win with something that no player of any worth would stay on. When this has happened to me tooooo often I see myself starting to play that way. Its just like "why not?" This is what I'm talking about. If its not real money, who cares.
When I started to think like this, my play went WAY down. Don't get me wrong, I still win, just not as often, and not in a way that I can say it was from good play on my part. Just dumb luck.
