Hello everyone.
How are you everyone?

Well, i'm a new member, and start to play poker in July 2015. But only begin to really play and deticate some time, now in december.

Well, my doubt is if it's possible to building a bankroll only with freerolls. My plans are, win at leats 1 dolar in any freeroll from PS and then play 4 SNGs 0,25c 45p then going to double my money.

Make 1 dolar become $2, then $2 become $4....
And this way, start to play buy-in 0,50c, 1dolar....

You guys think is possible? And how exactly do this?
Because freerolls have some many people and so many bad beats.

well thank you guys.
Cheers

To start with 1-2$ bankroll it will really depend on how good you will run in those games. Once i won 2$ on a freeroll and made 20$ in 2 days(not using bankroll managament of course). But without BRM,poker is some kind of gamble :D i think the only freeroll worth to play is the cardschat freeroll.

I started with freerolls on Bet Online & got up to $25 and then started playing cash to get to $600. They refused to cash me out because they said I had not deposited any real money.

The stupidest thing they said is how do you expect to get something for nothing & I told them that is the very EXACT definition of a freeroll.

I asked them why offer a freeroll if when U win you won't pay out. I called every single day for 1 month & the ONLY thing I received was A LOT of frustration. I think it is the worst poker site ever built.

I hope you get your money out of them, but I tried every day for a month & got ZERO.

I totally think it is possible to build up a bankroll ONLY through freerolls. I have done it MANY times.

I would strongly encourage you to use strict bankroll management though.

I think it is possible to build up a decent bankroll with freerolls, then moving to microstakes while still playing freerolls to supplement. However, BRM is very important as is a good attitude since freerolls are crazy high variance. Do be aware (as stated above) that many sites will not cash out your money unless you have made a deposit...not something you need to worry about right away, but do keep it in mind. As you move into microstakes, read up on micro strategy and determine whether you are strongest at small sngs or cash games. Take it from there. :) Gl!

Nearly every site requires a real money deposit before you can cash out even if your money came from a P2P transfer.
Out of 4 sites I play on 3 of them have been built on freerolls.
If you built $600 from freeroll and cash game play from a freeroll why wouldn't you then make a minimum deposit, play and clear the deposit and then cash out your money?

A freeroll is offered to entice you to deposit.
Granted any grinder can win a freeroll and then build a bankroll but either way most sites don't offer them to just hand out money...

I am sure that you can build a bankroll starting with free rolls, but offer to change your doubling method as you build your bankroll to a more typical 5-10% risk method.

As far a Betonline goes, I don't play there and can't speak on it. But I have built plenty of bankrolls from freerolls at various sites (mind I'm in the U.S.) and cashed out from most of them without having to deposit in order to do it. The only one I had to deposit in order to cash out was FullFlush.

It is very possible, and, as you can see, many players have been able to do it. Someone in particular who is progressing very well is user Mason Pye. The thread where he is documenting his progress is here. He has built his bankroll up to $346 since July, without making a deposit. Also, Jason Somerville had never made a deposit and was able to reach a "six-figure bankroll", according to Wikipedia, and look at what he has achieved.

They are tough, but they are very much possible. All types of poker are difficult, and freerolls are just the first rung on a very tall ladder. Freerolls aren't forever.

tough, but certainly possible. I'd say if you win a dollar or two, play cheaper than 25c sit and gos if possible.

Play ABC poker on BankrollMob and get into CardsChat Freeroll Club and, with good poker, you'll probably have a big enough bankroll to play microstakes cash games (60-100 dollars).

Today I play on pokerstars, 888poker and in full tilt.

I think the freerolls for PS are the most difficult, and the more easy is on full tilt.

But, still i'm try to make a 10dolar in pokerstars before finishing the year.

I won 1200 on FT with no deposit. Also 600 on cake the same way.
How I did it was grinding 9 person S&G tourneys, and an occasional MTT.

What you need to do is download the S&G wizard. This program (if it's still the same) is free for 90 days. It will teach you how to play proper equity. In the micro's and lower stakes, rarely will you find anyone who knows this, and once you become good at making the proper plays, it's mathematically impossible for you not to make a profit.

You can also use this to analyze your game after it's over, to see what mistakes you made.

I would also buy a copy of David Sklansky's Theory of Poker, and his book No limit Hold Em Theory and practice. Be prepared to read them several times, very advanced concepts that cannot be digested in one read.

Armed with a proper understanding of the game, you'll have such an advantage on your competition. Bad runs will still happen, it's the nature of the game. If you find yourself "tilting", turn the computer off immediately.

At the end of the day, as long as your getting in with the best of it, that's all you can do.

You can deposit minimum and then cash out all your money. Why you not try it?
