Most players starting out play in freerolsl or in freebys. While this is a good way to cut your teeth and learn the rudiments of the game, give the free entries a miss as soon as you have learned enough. Although there are very good players taking part, there are others who just haven't a clue, and you may think that this is the standard to follow and develop bad and sloppy habits. Play with your own money as soon as you feel comfortable with your game. There is a big psychological difference when your own cash is on the line.
I agree 100%. Freerolls are a great way to get in touch with the software and the game itself if you are a total beginner but for anyone else they are just a waste of time. Most people there are totally clueless and not playing the game, instead they are just trying to double up with rubbish, relying on luck with a style that would be suicidal in real games.
I know that some people like to play freerolls and that's fine. Some might be even winning money with them. However, most of the time the prize is so small that it doesn't really compare to the time and effort that is used to play that. If someone is winning frequently in freerolls, they should already try bigger games with
real money at stake. The sooner, the better because that's where the actual money is made, not in freerolls.
