Can I start a poker career with freerolls?

[Kehzi]

Possible? Sure

Likely? No

Smart/efficient use of your time? Most likely not

Playing freerolls is also likely to cause you to build bad habits and not prepare you for genuine poker tournaments or cash games.

Need to be realistic here, it's your choice ultimately.

I've started with freerolls, now I also click on freerolls when I don't feel 100% sure about my poker skills at a higher level

Not long ago I saw a video review of WSCOOP where there was one Atlanta player like, and he got into the final with professional players, but he got it like through freerolls

Americas Cardroom is fill with freerolls going up in the hundreds for first place. With that said it's very possible of starting out from scratch.

running up a 'roll..

is possible on many sites if you stick with it. as others have noted ,getting the funds out can be problematic !

Hello. Can I start a career with freerolls? Many poker rooms attract new players with freerolls. But the number of players and the prize pool are unlikely to fill the bankroll. I wonder if there are people who started with freerolls?

Sure! Why not?

Just have a plan to move up as you start to get some cashes.

It's hard to build a bankroll if the only thing you EVER play is freerolls.
But... if you start with freerolls... then play value added events... then satellites... then majors

Now my friend you have a formula for building your bankroll.

Freerolls are a find place to start though, especially if they are the cardschat freerolls which have small fields and lots of added money making them a great way to boost your bankroll! :joyman:

I think it's possible. I got up to 6500 bankroll on FT/PS from a freeroll, but cashed out when it dropped to 3500. It felt like real money then! Just didn't trust the sites a hundred percent---seemed to run really poorly after first time trying to withdraw. Probably coincidence...but??

yes it is possible, you can learn from the freerolls, which are several with good payouts, and there are also promotions that distribute tickets

Of course it is possible, Annette_15 and belabacsi, started playing freerolls, and now they earn thousands of dollars playing poker.

you can start, but don't go "pro" (quit another source of income" till you have the decent bankroll, consistent wins, and enough saved money for at least 6 months to live off.

Yes , It's the best way to begin your career with the freeroll games. You will build your game and skills without losing any money because you will not earn money from poker until you have atleast a one year experience.

Definitely you can start your poker career via freerolls. But whether it will happen or not is a question of your motivation and discipline. So, in conclusion, everything depends on you

 

[plusssev]

Yes it is a great idea. When you will earn little money you will be able learn in low stakes. sure it is very different with freerools.
