Do participants in freerolls play significantly different than they would if they were in a "pay to play" tournament? What are your thoughts?

Of course, the average level of a freeroll player is very low, there is no liability, which means no risk pay. When freeroll players play tournaments for personal money, their game is more responsible and thoughtful. For example, the situation at the beginning of a freeroll is common when a player goes all-in with any two. In buy-in tournaments this is extremely rare.

Hello.
In my opinion, there is no such difference. I always try to be patient and wait for good cards.

There are players who take freerolls seriously but there are a hell of a lot that don't. I find buy in tournaments even with small buy ins provide much better chance of cashing as your facing less loose fishy moves.

Depending on the field, you could found freerolls better played than buyins. As example the card chat comunitie freerolls,peaple plays a beautifull poker. But in general micro reagion and freerolls are fulled with new players how makes lot off crazy muves.

totally agree. although a lot of the micro tournaments play similar to freerolls. I think you have to get to the $3 range before people really start playing serious... Then again at the start of every tournament everyone seems to be crazy!

Yes, of course, they are very different, but not for all players. Also important is the size of the tournament's buy-in, so often there are inadequate players in tournaments with low buy-ins. The main difference is that in freerolls you can play as you like, because in any case you will not lose anything.

Freerolls are significantly different from buy-in's . Buy-in play is usually played with strategy, discipline and thought while Freerolls are usually played with reckless abandon.

in my case, the gameplay and strategy do not differ much between freerolls and buy-in tournaments, but I suppose that in freerolls most players can play a much more open range of hands than the abitual, which Sometimes it can make it more difficult.

Yes Obviously , you have money invested so now you're not just gonna sit back and donk it off (unless you have the money to and just don't care). Freerolls literally the only thing you're investing is time , and if you're doing them at work like I do , the amount of care you have in them is little to none.

It is so different, since you do not risk at freerolls and you can shove all cards, and when you play for real money, you cautiously treat each card distributed:playingba:playingba

Freerolls are very loose play and very difficult to win.

Buyins are hard as well to but a little more restraint.
