I'm a super-newb. Never played a game for real money, but after reading here I'm starting to think that NOT playing real money is just a waste of time (hard to learn when your opponents are no smarter than you are).
So the freerolls interest me. From what I can understand you can enter a free roll tournament with no real money and have a chance to win real money to then play in the real money tournaments.
Am I understanding this correctly? Do you have to make a deposit of some kind before you are eligible for the free roll tourneys? Do frequent player points come into play?
I was just hoping someone could define how free roll tourneys work, how do you enter them and are the winnings always real money? I am mostly interested in how FTP and PS handle their free roll tourneys and where I need to go to get started.
PS I have my Little green book on the way. I'm also very seriously considering picking up Holdem Manager, not to mention I'm reading everything I can here. Its a bit confusing though with all the acronyms and insider speak, like 3-betting. The stickied glossary was a big help, but there's still a lot of terms I am unfamiliar with.
So that was a long ass post to ask how freerolls work
PPS OK, to not start a new thread for another quick basic question. Where would be a good place to learn about position(s)? I have been reading a lot that reference good positions, but haven't come across any basic material that explains the positions. Like I said I have Phil Gordon's little green book on the way, if you know this info is in there then just tell me and I'll wait patiently.....Well I'll wait anyway.
Thanks for all the help so far.
