I go to poker stars to play freerolls, but with the same frequency I can not get to the final table in any tournament. Frequent moves on weaker maps, do you happen this? When your QC beats 2-7 and it happens very often, more often than I get to the final table. This has never happened to me in real poker. I've played thousands of hands, but there's no such thing in poker. After all, the game just favors those who collect a large and better combination, and not those who play some arcade. The developers did not think about it? or is this some kind of strategic move pokerstars? So few people could get up from freerolls and then crazy game.

I assume you are talking about the Thursday freeroll open to all members. The player field is bloated here with 2000-max cap. At the same time, many of them are dropping like flies, especially in the first 20 minutes when shooting is in full effect.

As a self-described beginner, you should keep reading. Post hand history analysis with your own judgement. Especially losing hands from the freeroll tourneys which are bothering you. Seek and you will find.

Previously, I was spending about $ 20-30 a month on the game. But lately I only play freerolls and thanks to this I managed to significantly increase my bankroll. My strategy is very simple. I play only with strong cards and use the position at the table.

it depends on what freeroll are you talking, because pokerstars has a a lot of freerolls where they have a lot of entries and only few places with prizes. that makes it hard and you can find several players donking in early stage.

I mean the map generator. You need less small cards to program wins - much less. Playing the fool won't do him any good. It is not better to wait for a good card. It's a shame when ACE king he moves 7 Jack what the. And the player doesn't give a shit about the tournament. He still leaves in 30 minutes.

Poker stars has something like (awarding) system through tours, it happens with & against me, so I cant simply call it rigged.
Many times in freerolls I usually loose hands with no logic against higher stack guys, although almost every time my cards are either higher or logically matches the flop possibilities, just like that those guys have a full previously drawed road to the final table !!
Sorry, but I cant advice here as this upsets me every time and I leave early & angry !

You have to double up so many times. Even if you have the best of it every time, the chances are slim that you will reach the final table in a huge field. Kill Phil is a great book that talks about it. It says great poker players will often fold monster hands against an all-in when they are a slight favorite to win. All this while trying to keep pots small and gradually winning ofcourse. But that book is not exactly meant for freerolls where people usually bet big. Still worth reading though.

One option is Cardchat

Has passed still some time, when I published this post, but nothing again came in a PokerStars Freeroll, where a lot of people. But I think that in tournaments Writhe will be much better, there are not so many people, only about 200. And to get into the prize, it is enough to go to 45 winners. Looking forward, try your hand against real opponents of our forum. =) I think that there I would show good results.
