I've played cash games in the past and gotten into the money. That's after playing only freerolls. Now I won some money the other day and blew it all playing $0.15 and $0.33 games. They were mostly sats to get into the bigger tournaments. Once in the tournaments i have noticed that the syle of play has changed. It's great to witness but devastating to be on the receiving end.

How do i learn how to change my game play for cash games?

I think that there is no difference in the level of freerolls players and players in cheap tournaments.

If you know how to play tournaments, it does not matter what the price of entry is 0, like a freeroll, or hundreds of dollars ... If you know, you will be ahead!

I am not sure about that. In freerolls and cheap tournments you have to take into consideration that the field is full of fish. There wouldn't be too many players shoving with any 2 cards in the tournament for hundreds of dollars, I imagine.
I would say you should consider the style of your opponents and adjust yours.

Probably the greatest interest of freerolls is that you can gain experience playing in tournaments of various kinds, while preserving your nerves and money.
Experiments with the style of the game are not worth a penny. + In the later stages of the freeroll, the game becomes like a real money game. Starting from the middle stage of tournaments and closer to the prizes

Watch the video from the big tournaments. You will see how the top players just as well play two any cards, getting their nut on the river ... There's no difference. Just a little more cheap fish ... ;)

That gives you the experience, be more careful, be more attentive, in the freeroll does not matter because you find another and ready. In real money you have to win because if you happen to happen to you already. Be more careful

The game changes a bit. You will not see that allin all the time with marginal hands. And you will not even see so many payers with the smallest pair on the table. Study a little that you will get a sense. No more, just playing to practice and understand.

You will learn soon that people play low stakes just as casually as freerolls. Actually Id argue freerolls might be played more seriously as some people really want to start a bankroll and there are limited opportunities.

Maybe choose other games with your cash. Small sit and go single table or play a dollar at micro-stakes cash tables...

There isnt a strategic for it in my opinion. You just learn from experiences & that's how it is. No one knows how to really play the Real-Money tourny until they realize how to do it with experiences!

After grinding up a few bucks from freerolls, 10c sngs is a good place to continue building. Cash games can go really quick, you might lose your entire bankroll in an instance, or skyrocket into a decent bankroll just as quick. But with 10c sngs you will at least get a lot of training, because you will not bust your entire bankroll as fast as with the other alternatives.

That's totally right, I got lucky in some freerolls I played and have to say, the excitement is the same between a tournament that you pay and freerolls in the final stages, the possibility of making money that excites us.

simple just take 100 buy ins into your cash game attempts. Then you wont worry about how to adjust, you will just play.

You need to play a game cache and understand on the situation as who is playing and you will develop your own style of play

If the game for small stakes is small. Slightly less bluff. At large stakes the game changes radically.

Well, it generally depends on what level of the game you want to go to. Want more than $ 20 tournaments are a completely different game than freerolls and tournaments with cheap buy-in.

cash games

I just won some small amount of cash. And I plan to try to add to it. I know that I will need help to deal with a better player.
