it's possible, but very difficult and takes a lot more time than needed. I've made several hundreds dollars from freerolls, but it never lasts because I don't have the patience for bankroll management and enter large tournaments.

You *can* build a bankroll, but most freeroll formats are so cheap. I've built a bankroll up from literally nothing to over $180. The secret is to play private freerolls offered by organizations/groups (like the cardschat freerolls). There is a much higher rate of return and winning one will jumpstart your bankroll.

Also, make sure you manage your bankroll and don't risk more than 2ish% of your roll in a single tourney. You need room to survive bad beats and variance.

Absolutely good advice, I have never deposited $$$ in ACR or GG poker and only minimum in 888 and pokerstars and except for PokerStars I have a usable if not decent bankroll. I have in the past been as high as $200 on one sight but of course I got cocky and tried some higher level entries to only get brought back down to reality, my ability as a recreational player is suited to Micro entry MTTs and SitNGos, and at that level I am able to maintain a small bankroll and play daily on their money, love it:):):)

I think everything is possible with a lot of discipline, it always depends on yourself what you make of your happiness, in my opinion, I think it is realizable and feasible

To built a bankroll is absolutly possible. But it is hard work and needs a lot of discipline and skills. I play only on 888 and on Pokerstars. On 888 i play only Freerolls and collect the money. On Pokerstars i play freeroll and if i win money i invested in low stakes tourneys. On Pokerstars exist a lot of freerolls were you can bust your bankroll. But if you not using the bankroll management, you loose your money from the freerolls very fast. So you can play only small sng or micro tournaments.

It’s entirely possible to make a bankroll out of freerolls, although it’s probably best not to give up your day job straight away as it’s not going to make you a millionaire overnight. Treat it as a bit of fun.

Playing cardschat's freerolls is more than possible to make a bankroll, it takes to win tournament and u will make almost 20$, the minimum bankroll to start grinding up from sit and go's is about 5$ which is pretty easy amount to get from freerolls.

I won a local freeroll, which brought me about $ 20 and a couple of times entered the prize places.

Bankroll managment

you can make a bankroll through freerolls, but as you describe, the path is very thorny, as I do, if I win about $ 50 in freerolls, I go to the second stage, this is a cash game ,there are of course many risks, but you can quickly increase the amount and the 3rd stage of the game in micro-limit tournaments with a bankroll of $ 200, and there you can go further up the limits, if you

I tried it myself and I can say it is a long (very long) road.
Then i changed to the micro cash games, which is more risky and I made my small little bankroll. You have to be patient.

I have the same idea. If you can´t to survive with the bakroll with the freeroll tournament. Never you can to have the control to survive with your money in the real tournament. But, I think tha to survive in the freeroll and to win money is very dificcult because of the percent of reawards.

You can make it through reality as I have done so. My winnings at Absolute Poker have now become somewhere near 50000.00 cause at the time bitcoin was cheap enough. Not anymore.

I'm going this on way. I want to start playing without investing money. I had success in poker school, this is second place. But then I gave up poker, now I want to go back and start over.

it's a long way, but it's really reachable!:cool:
You don t put have the succes in poker if you don t invest money, especially in online ...

Of course you can build a bankroll with freeroll tournaments. I say this because I started with a number of profits of a few cents and my biggest profit is $ 84 and I have a profit of $ 50.
