Hello chat such a topic for today:cool::cool::cool:

I think freerolls give a beginner, but not just a beginner, an opportunity to practice and find the game they are looking for. how do you think?

It's an environment where you make mistakes without major consequences, but I don't think the goal is for you to become a professional freeroll player, right?

So take your time, enjoy the table, try to extract as much knowledge as you can, after all you have to spend at least 2 hours in a freeroll to earn just a few cents, those cents cannot be your goal, right?

I'm only playing Freerolls, I'm already selecting better which ones I register, but I recommend participating as much as I can, but study a lot, don't think for a second that just playing you will evolve, be critical, try to identify your mistakes and correct them, will most likely succeed.

Can be a good way for us to build our bankroll and gain experience on the go, playing in tournaments without the pressure of risking our own money, just enjoy and rejoice.
It's just a "winwin" situation isn't it?

freerolls teach you what variance is, but without the negative impact of this variance on your bankroll ))

And if it's a little more serious, then it's better to play only such freerolls, in which the indicator (prizes/N) turns out to be at least 25 cents. For example, if a freeroll has a prize pool of $100, and the number of participants is much more than 400 people, then it is foolish to play such freerolls to build a bankroll. These can only be played for fun. Also in freerolls with a normal value (p./N) people will play more intelligently than in other freerolls and therefore the game will be very close to playing in tournaments with small buy-ins. In general, high-quality freerolls are a great opportunity for training and for starting your poker career from scratch!

Freerolls are not meant to make money. They are needed to learn how to play for money. Because if you play with play money, you won't be able to gain real experience. In these games, players are fearless and aggressive. But when the game has even a small financial interest, as in freerolls, then the game is more serious.

The most valuable thing that freerolls give to a beginner player is experience and the opportunity to accumulate a bankroll without personal investments

Freerolls teach patience and provide an opportunity to train different game strategies without investing. Also, strengthening your bankroll and the opportunity to play in a big tournament.

Even though the prizes are small, it's an incentive to develop your skill as a beginner. I think it's great for the game as a whole!

I tend to find you really get a lot of quick play and bullying that is fully loluck based just to get chip totals up. Which tends to deter from the actuak way it should be played. But towards the latter stages you tend to get real poker styles forming

When you lose a freeroll it does not suck as much. Freerolls give opportunity's for all players not just new ones who lost their bankroll to gain more experience and potentially make it back and possibly more. Freerolls give advance players a database of the hand history of all the casual players they face for free... even though the rng don't help them much by rewarding people who all in with k10 on the preflop the pot over kk etc or J8 off suit all in preflop vs AA. 100% blame the new antibot software.

I have been playing online for nearly 20 years, and mostly play for fun, so Its a lot of freerolls. They tend to play looser than cash games, so Im not sure how great a learning experience they are. But over this time I have cashed out quite a bit of $, so they are what they are!!

888s turbos are insane... the blinds levels are every two minutes....you have to play aggressive all the way though or you'll never win the tourney... if you want a normal game you should play regular tournaments with 5 to 10 minute blind levels. They will give you more time to wait for good quality hands if your style is tight aggressive.

The field of opponents in inexpensive MTTs will be weaker than in a cash game. They are more prone to negative actions and bluff moves. Psychologically, it is easier for players of low stakes tournaments to part with chips in the game - they do not have the feeling of losing real money. You can play freerolls and cheap satellites in tournaments that are not on the bankroll. Many players got a good profit by qualifying through satellites. Today, the traffic on partypoker has noticeably decreased, which means that the guarantees in tournaments and the number of opponents in them have decreased. But there are still a large number of tournaments that are potentially interesting for novice players.

An opportunity to build a bankroll while not caring for poker theory.

They are really good practice with a bit more motivation that play money. I’ve been playing free rolls and bonus package games through January and I’m up to $110 winnings so there’s definitely value in taking the opportunities that are available. Plus, they’re fun which is why we do it!

It is better than just playing for play money. I can never figure out why you would do that unless perhaps it is just to test things out after downloading a new poker room or playing on a different device for the first time
