Interesting read on some of your thoughts 2003 played online first freeroll on acr turned it over sports betting to 5000 and that was used to fun 40 something sites. I have never ever deposited.
What I will say is have played every level and you got bingo and bad players? EVERYWHERE. I have played the 50.00 buy ins and have ran into very very very bad play. So for most of what am reading am kinda just shaking my head honestly.
Maybe you have a great forum aint played you all yet. Maybe you have games and play decently but still guarantee is some knuckleheads on this forum no offense is just what it is.
I would love to just do sit and goes against 9 other great opponents non stop that I knew what who they were and were all solid players think that would work out well in my favor.
Biggest thing in poker is evaluation strategy etc.. learning your opponents so take notes is advice even if is 2000 some people over time six 10 months you will have notes on majority of people and use it to exploit it. Meaning yes you can take the freerolls work your bankroll all the way up and keep playing them and win more and more and more by doing a system that works for you
I will say bet online took me three weeks no money wrote notes after notes on bingo players bad players the FEW FEW FEW real good players lol. Fourth week? Moneyed once a day at least. Same tournaments now im winning.
Cards changed? Well maybe a little but even changed strategy for a certain time frame in tourneys to try to get a better result open game a bit at right time
These are things you learn with experience and by paying attention and yes timely luck but I believe that luck will come. The best thing you can have as a poker player is short term memory
I like freerolls would rather play super solid players as stated but is hard to do when you like to play four rooms at a time and play all day or all night.
I have lost in that last 12 years every way humanly possible. I have lost as often AA to garbage in a freeroll as in a big regular event or in ring.
So to those against? What is your preperation? How much patience do you have? Where do you find your games do you play the same things daily so you know your opponents etc.. Am curious why your soo down on freerolls when to me is just another event cause im telling you I run into same play all over or have at just about every level. I remember people telling me 8 years ago ohhh ten dollar buy ins means better players BULL HICKEY I didnt find that yes was some good players and took notes on them but still had same guys that would do the chasing or whatever or just extremely bad play and get paid off whatever the reason they got tired all in with queen seven off and hit trip sevens to my kings or whatever.
Ive had people all in 2-4 offsuit where had to call in buy in tourneys with aces and lost thats this week lol.
So yeah aint sure on some of what is stated.
You learn poker by studying and by application freerolls is just one application.
So yeah unless you got a field of ten buddies you play all the time a freeroll is about the same as a 5.00 buy in for me every day of the week.
I see the same things lol I just have short term memory
I laugh a lot and enjoy the game and usually it all works out.
Also if your losing or dead carded and still want to play ??? Avoiding the buy ins for a day and not losing anything is AWESOME had to make that point a freeroll is great so you don't throw your money away. That is a decision I make a lot daily haha.
