I recently started getting into online poker again. I used to play a lot in college (5 years ago) both online and live. I was fairly successfull live and mildly successful online. Online eventually destroyed all my bankroll.
Well I'm getting back into things again and stumbled upon this place. I saw a post here saying that before getting into cash games you should grind out the freerolls for a week or so.
Finally to my question, are freerolls really an indicator of success? Or is it really just luck considering the talent involved in such low levels of play?
I'm asking because I grinded out and got into the money (top10 in the money, placed 9th) on a free roll. It's the on demand kind. 400+ participants.
Does this mean I'm ready to play now?
TL;DR Tried out the freerolls for practice. Got in the money. What does this say about my skill level?
