I play because lack of money atm, but I don't like them. Too many players, too long play till get into money, and it's very little money. I don't recommend play only freerolls because it's easy to take bad habits and easy get tilted because of many donks and bad beats.
My experience, it's hard in late phase of tourney to get into big prizes, because you need to play with more hands to get more chips faster. More bluffing.... Dangerous.
I can get relatively easy into money (few cents), but it's hard for me to go for top prize aka first 20 places let's say.
I play tight and aggressive when I hit, but it's not enough in late phases. I don't know how else I should play..

the only reason is see playing freerol - is lack of money....
i dont like them myself, because of crazy field, and it is not a good poker (maybe in late stage - it is ok) lots of allins pre flop with marginal hands (AK vs T3o and so on), lots of limp/calls preflop
you dont get a proper skill playing freerols.

freeroll is one kind of practice for new player.
after realize the rule of poker, don't take much time on it.
because it reward less.

They are good when starting off with MTTs. They are mostly quite quick, so you can practice your hand reading, short stack play, push/fold etc.

I play freerolls because they are FREE! I don't have to risk a single cent to win some money.

I play them because they are fun.

I normally avoid the bigger fields now as I have a nice BR from just playing freerolls at the start.

I love playing the CC freerolls, they are the best. I have learnt a lot playing these games. I used to play the BR freeroll but their better on sites like partypoker when they run as they only have a smallish field.

Freerolls can help to improve your poker skills - and sometimes make money as well :)

They are good for BR building. Plus in good frees (like CC ones), ppl can learn a lot since there are many good players in them :)

I do play them cause im broke Af and also that's good training if you can't move thru freerolls how you would be able to move thru some serious stuff.

No money invested for a cash prize. Plus you can do some thinking poker there, just try your hand reading skills and not worry about bad beats and early busts.

I play them in the summer and fall as a break. I don't have as much time in those seasons to dedicate to focusing on poker. Winter and Spring I have more time to be serious, study, and fix leaks and tend to play ring games or real cash tournaments. I also like to use free rolls as a way to try out a new approach that I may have read about.
