Just curious, I`m talking about tourneys with over 200 Players>> What do you find easier to Win or get a Final Table at,, real money or freerolls and Why,,,, I find freerolls Harder to Win or get to a Final Table because in freerolls they will call you with just about any 2 cards,,, was going to post this awhile back but forgot, so i did it now while im thinking about it,I`d like some Feedback about this, Thanks.

Freerolls are attractive because of no buyin, but I must say that they are unatrractive due to playing style. When you start out a freeroll with a bunch of people, they usually go all in alot, the ones that benefit are the ones that are lucky, you could have AK or someything and loose to a 23, odd that they when all in but hey, that a freroll. As they progress, they players do become a bit more serious, and play is a bit better. In terms of it being easier ir harder with real money to get to a final table, I would ay its the same. Real money takes skill, Freeroll also take skill, but depending on entrants, also luck.

I coulnt say that freerolls are unattractive.

Y hv to play this with an other strategy. But be sure that there allways some guys who beat y with 2 7 because there a lot who calls everyhand and hv the luck for a few hands.

GL and sry for my bad english

Actually its a tough choice. When you play alot of freerolls you know how they are going to play out. The level of skill isn't as high as the real money games,( depending on the buyin). I find that I can do better at freerolls because of this. And you will see alot of good players also taking advantage of this.

i think low buyin mtts and the $4.40 180 man sng's at stars are the best to play.
there cheap, and pay nice when you cash.

freerolls are great if you go bust, then you have a chance to get back in the game for free.

WELL since only donks win freerolls becaause they call all in with 33 with a board of aaakq. real money tournaments are much much easier to money in.

I have had luck in both depending on how PATIENT I am. True. Freerolls have many all ins but if you r patient enough to last 1-2 hours until they are finally out then u usually have a good game. Have had more success in money tourneys . The higher the fee the better the game. Been playing on pokerstars wpt-pca 27 plus rebuy and have enjoyed. Both weeks have qualified for the second round 650$..Last week 18 people qualified for the bahamas. # 88 out didn't but there is always tonight. have a great tourney weekend

I dont think either are easier to win, I have had success in both and have found in both you need to be a solid player but you also need a few big hands to go your way. I used to think that freeroll play was much worse than buyins but over time I think the play everywhere online has become far too loose. Played a $10 buyin at Paradise yesterday and the 1st hour was no different than most of the freerolls I play with people going allin with any 2 cards, some of them rebought 3 or 4 times and were gone b4 the 1st break, hell of a way to spend $40-$50.

lol no im was just using it as a figure of speech. but it is alot tougher to win freeerolls= more luck
I agree its tougher to win freerolls, but along with the Luck you also need LOTS of Patience,,, i think everybody agrees with that,, thats when i lose, when my Patience wears out,>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>buck:cool:

:joyman: Maybe freerolls and low buy-in tournament are the same thing.
In freerolls you dont lose nothing, and play as you want, tight or loose hoping in lucky.
In low buy-in tournament you pay, and maybe for you is expensive, but may meet people that play 5-10$ or lower buy-in tournament and sit-and-go like freerolls, always calling you and going all-in.
And if you lose versus 9 10 off with your KK and also paid...
