Does playing freerolls make you a bad player?

[guitaRisGood]

you can learn from any type of game i believe. freerolls, with their constant all-ins are a great place to learn patience. patience is my most valued poker skill.

In freeroll sometimes I do some really bad moves that I would never do in real money. I think things get emotional in freeroll. And in my poker you must not get emotional. Good luck

playing only freerolls you break your skill

One of the bad habits I bring to the real game from freerolls is an All In or Fold game.

I find this to be a common issue WHEN I'm playing multiple tourney tables with a free roll table thrown in, I tend to forget that's it not a normal one, and either hold it to the same normal cash standards, or even worse, start playing them like a free roll. I try to only play one free table at a time to remind myself it's a different game.

The ones currently on offer from pokerstars certainly have the potential to do so because of the silly payout structure. Once you get in the money and make your 10 cents then most people just go all in because it would take another hour of playing to get to next pay hike to a whopping 27 cents.

if you play seriously it does not have to be beneficial

Some of the hands I use in freerolls, I use in pay games and I usually get bit in the butt when I try. How do you get rid of the playing junk habit?

I think free tournaments, booked as the cardschat provides, helps a lot who is starting. and in my way of seeing things, only one who is not willing to evolve remains in error.
For example I used to apply 3bet with TT-88 and I analyze how much "money" I was losing with these actions, because most of the time the bord presents a figure or an ace. Then I closed that leak.
