The more you play and practice the better you will become. You obviously have to deal with some bingo players and the antics of some bad play but you can navigate past that into some skilled play. Especially towards the end stages where the play will become more competitive and skilled. The more hands you see the better. There will be some pitfalls but overall the experience will be beneficial.

From 1 side freerolls are good, but from another - too many players pushes garbage just for "fun".

Don't listen. Play freerolls with a developed head. Don't play bingo. Many people will tell you about the best or the worst. But the speakers forgot about themselves. They also started with freerolls.

Yes, freerolls are good for beginners as a place to learn how tournaments work.

They don't play like real money tournaments though. You will be called off by worse hands more. You will get paid more with your monsters. You will get lots of action that you won't see as much in a real money tournament.

So, the short answer is yes they are good for beginners just know you will need to advance your game once you get into the real money tournaments. Freeroll success doesn't equal good player.

Hope this helps and good luck at the tables.:wavey:

This is the wrong advice. The value of real money tournaments depends on your Freeroll and cash game skills. Do not take the head for beginners.

Playing in tournaments with BI up to one or two dollars is practically the same as playing in freerolls (excluding mass-available open tournaments). Moreover, even in more expensive tournaments, you can see the game even worse than the “freeroll”, if players get access to such a tournament with tickets from any promotions.

is very good, allows you to adjust to the game without losing money, of course freerolls are very different from the paid tournaments, but it gives pro expense

Certainly. Firstly, you do not lose your money, and secondly it is a great opportunity for the beginner to develop and improve their skills.

Yes. Learning to play is turning the foreign into the familiar.When you win money from nothing, you know you can do it again. Get comfortable playing poker and making money.

Freerolls are a great place to start. Try to ignore the crazy all-in's at the early stages of the tournament. Learn how to play the game. The deeper you get into a tournament, the more stable gameplay becomes.

Go into freerolls with the same mindset you would if you bought in. If it's a $100 prize pool thats a $1 buy-in on most sites, why be nitty about it? Play tight and then aggressive when you get a good hand or the board hits.

Freerolls

Yes freerolls are good for beginners. But eventually u will have to pay to play and earn your licks like we all had to in the beginning. But freerolls are always fun and good to play. Especially when its part of the poker community.

Yes freerolls are good for beginners . But you need to use them to develop your game . Don't just go all-in . You need to learn strategy , patience and how to read players . Good luck with your journey into poker.

Yes 110%!!! Once you learn how to run deep and navigate through these fields you'll have a good idea of how to do the same in low stakes. Don't get me wrong there will be changes but you'll always experience these growing pains when increasing stakes.

the freeroll will always be good to start a bank from scratch, without investing any money, you will only invest time and knowledge, also if you are new to the game it helps you to practice the knowledge you are acquiring, it helps you get experience to confront other players
