Centrolls or Freerolls?

#1 June 3rd, 2019, 6:48 PM

Freerolls gives you the opportunity to raise your bankroll from nothing, so centrolls has smaller fields. What of them do you prefer?

Depends on how much money is in each game. The play in both will be similar so It would come down to other aspects other then cost on which one I would like to play at any specific time.

#3 June 3rd, 2019, 6:54 PM

The better ratio of people to prize.

#4 June 3rd, 2019, 7:16 PM

I stopped playing freerolls a long time ago because there is not a game but solid trash! the only freeroll I play is the card club

#5 June 3rd, 2019, 7:17 PM

Well I think they're pretty similar in term of play style of the field so you just have to adjust to them.

Centrolls have smaller field? If only it'd be true about cardchat unibet centrolls which are joke ... Anyway i clearly prefer freerolls cause in (most of them) it's easier to actually win something Centrolls or Freerolls?

Same.
Most of non-CC freerolls are weird planets of unreflecting all-ins and nothing else. No chance to have fun or earn some money.

Generally in the free roll the fold equity is null, it is difficult to make a structured game. I prefer the cent

Centrolls? What is it? For the first time I hear it.

#10 June 3rd, 2019, 8:01 PM

CardsChat freerolls are really good, small BR boost and if you get top 3 then it's a really nice BR for 0.10/360 turbos

#11 June 3rd, 2019, 8:02 PM

Great question... I've found the Centrolls very similar to Freerolls except the Freerolls have higher Cash Outs, am i imagining that or is there no real difference in pay outs?

Game Play Almost similar but as with most games under a dollar there are always Bingo Players and Bluffers going all in for the first 20-30mins...

More than $1 player tent to play tighter

Well, it's in the name.
A tournament where the buy-in is one cent and the prizepool is alot larger than all the buy-ins combined.
So just a freeroll with a 1 cent buy-in

#13 June 3rd, 2019, 11:02 PM

freerolls are much better i believe

Thank. In some poker rooms have these tournaments?

freerolls is a big possibility for the beginnings players

#16 June 4th, 2019, 8:03 PM

The decisive factor is the ratio of the benefits offered by this format of the game. There are completely useless freerolls in which a person just loses time. Or they bring too little income and to such an extent that it is impossible to build a bankroll with them. It is also very important to consider the size of the field and the speed of the tournament.

#17 June 4th, 2019, 8:09 PM

I have spent so much time on freerolls I would have done MUCH better flipping burgers!!!!

Yes, i have spent sometimes whole afternoon in a big fight among 4500 or more players; struggling, stress, and once even end up first and get 4,50 $.
It is really a waste of time.
Good freerolls are where the blinds increasing fast and finishing in a bit more than 2 hours.

#19 June 5th, 2019, 8:05 AM

Whatever is free is good. Just play your game and have fun!

Do not quite agree. Turbo and hyperturbo speed is very dispersive, the player cannot demonstrate his skill and luck decides everything. For this kind of game, you need to understand push / fold well. When I wrote about speed, I meant a slow tournament, it is thanks to this speed that a player can show his qualities. But still the most important thing for a tournament is the ratio of the prize zone / number of participants.

#21 June 5th, 2019, 8:10 AM

Yes you're right.

#22 June 5th, 2019, 8:33 AM

If you haven't made a deposit do most sites still make cashing out free roll winnings pain free?

#23 June 5th, 2019, 9:25 AM

I don't know, i made small deposits on most of them and never withdraw.he he...

#24 June 5th, 2019, 9:44 AM

If they have a decent enough prize pool then I will play either of these.

#25 June 5th, 2019, 9:54 AM

Only play CC freeroll tournaments these days.

#26 June 5th, 2019, 10:58 AM

I do not see much difference between them. The level of players is the same, and 1 cent is not a lot of money, which every player can spend on a tournament.

#27 June 5th, 2019, 11:58 AM

participation is free. that's why the stump is clear what to play.
However, there are situations when you should abandon this game.
1- freerolls can dull. if you can’t play them somewhere in the corner of the screen without thinking about them and so that playing them doesn’t affect your regular rink, then you shouldn’t play them, because Movies that we use in freerolls in a normal game are harmful, and therefore minus.
2- if the expected profit from the freeroll is, say, you average 20–40 cents, and it takes an hour and a half of your time, and your standard table, say, the CIS 9-max 3.5 limit lasts 45 minutes and your swarm is 10%, t. e. the expected profit from a regular table is 0.1 * 3.5 = $ 0.35 for 45 minutes, then in this case it is better not to play the freeroll, but to play an additional table with this little dog, because Your expected profit from the game in it will be more + you do not spray your mind on the rink of the left games with the left moves in them.
I somehow see this question
Of course there are cases when some freerolls are interesting on their own and in the case of a skid can be a “gold”,
such as status or bigbenga- play of course necessary

#28 June 5th, 2019, 6:47 PM

It's like you said
Each one has its positive aspects.
Win freerolls and play in the centrolls
But keep playing the freerolls.
In general I think smaller fields are always better.

#29 June 5th, 2019, 7:12 PM

so its not really freeroll if your paying cash to get into it.
i play these centrolls and i find them the same as any other tourn game.

#30 June 10th, 2019, 7:04 PM

the purpose of my participation in freerolls is opportunity to participate in centrolls Centrolls or Freerolls?

probably there are less trash players in centrolls, am i right?

#31 June 10th, 2019, 7:53 PM

I think freeroll are not really lucrative, since many people play without any strategy.

#32 June 11th, 2019, 2:00 AM

Both are the same type of tournament. I will take the freeroll.

#33 June 11th, 2019, 7:55 PM

I prefer freerolls

#34 June 11th, 2019, 10:35 PM

Freerolls,freerools and freerools!
I only play freerools because cardschat give us this oportunity.
I don't like Centrolls.

#35 June 11th, 2019, 10:53 PM

The only centrolls I play are on 888 where you get a 0.10$ ticket for a SnG ( or further steps if you prefer)
the centrolls on PP with 200 starting stack is like throwing pennies in a fountain. even if you build a solid stack, it is all-in-all-the-time and 6 players in a hand. too less poker for my father's son Centrolls or Freerolls?

Can't tell about unibet ones, as I'm not allowed to play there.
Thanks god there are still enough freerolls over the day, although I'm missing the ACR ones in the evening Centrolls or Freerolls?

#36 June 13th, 2019, 2:41 AM

Love my free rolls!!

#37 June 14th, 2019, 9:25 PM

i stopped play freerolls,very irritating was so everyone every turn allin went-.-

#38 June 17th, 2019, 7:03 AM

did u see unibet now gives UNibet open tickets on most of the freerolls? CasinoOrg , CardsChat centroll , davitsche and ian freerolls , even the ussually holdem freerolls now has unibet open tickets , they replaced the Cash NL tickets....

What happened? Unibet got cheap?

Cardchat freeroll is that a poker site

#40 August 20th, 2019, 5:43 PM

easy to play if u starting with tight agressive pre flop all in

#41 August 20th, 2019, 8:25 PM

I like my freerolls as I like my women: fast and with lot of bad plays.

#42 November 27th, 2019, 3:09 AM

First you need to win one

#43 November 27th, 2019, 3:22 AM

Centroll vs freeroll, it's more about the time commitment. If numbers are significantly better, perfer centrolls. Have to be in the right state of mind, "this is gonna take forever, I gotta out-grind 100++ ultra grinders, who know every trick."

#44 November 27th, 2019, 4:16 AM

Ive been playing the 1c Jackpot freeroll at 888 for a while now and won a bit, its a pretty good game, and yes a smaller field

#45 November 27th, 2019, 6:41 AM

Preference is given to freerolls. Poker is primarily a pleasure. And bankroll is even more fun.

#46 November 27th, 2019, 10:05 AM

Hi frnandoh! I think, if you win the first money in the freerolls, need at once
pass to play centrolls, where less playing field, to grow up by limits, and gradually
and consistently raise your skill... This my opinion. I'm yourself so did. Centrolls or Freerolls?
