there are good points here by wobble and the maid master. if you're going to freeroll on ftp, daily dollar freeroll, sat to the ferg fr, and tourney dollar fr. hope you're card dead until the big blind is at least 150...then love em and shove em. at least your chance of getting a buy-in to a real money tourney is better. i cashed a 2700 $100 tourney a few times and they all took 5+ hrs. i played longer than that in the us tourney and bubbled (that was the last time i played that btw, just isn't worth it). ftp is a depositor's site, and i did deposit there, and still freerolled because i only deposited $25 or something, like a retard, i'm still sitting on that roll, haha, plus a good handful of tournament dollars and such.This tournament is rather difficult to win...the first time I won took nearly 3 hrs....the 2nd was about 2hrs. You start with only 300 chips too...basically all-in or fold to start. I've won 2/4 times I've entered that one. It is turbo, but that even makes it more difficult to achieve a win with this one. GL if you try it!
but ftp, the money buy-ins fill up fast enough, there's always an assload of people on...i mean, they're hoping that donk gets lucky and wins the freeroll, knowing he's just gonna blow it all to everyone who deposited anyway most of the time. if we're not doing turbo on there though, with a freeroll, i know i'm wasting my time...just to sit there for 5+ hrs to win $2 to get KK sucked out by 37o who called just cause it was his BB and he's got 12 more chips than me. who would have though 37K would be a bad flop for me? i guess a 33 turn/riv is no good for me. with that many ppl...there's at least a dozen ppl who have just had the night of their lives as far as poker will ever go for them.
if you want to consistently cash freerolls trying to build up a br to actually play something these days without a deposit, there's four sites. one is poker4ever, on the everleaf network i think it is...one is wsex (ooooh sexy)...ok...but these first two...good luck...GOOD LUCK finding anything to buy into with your new found money...really. full of freerolls and nothing to really work on playing with a lot of volume. then you have bodog. i did deposit there, two reasons, football, horses, and poker. but cashing a freeroll is slightly more possible than ftp....get yourself 2.20 and you've got an easy cash in their beginner sng's. its like a double or nothin that pays a little bit more for how you place, so if you get first, its a triple (minus rake). but carbon poker, by far, has been the easiest for me...and maybe its because i think i'm a decent sng player...i don't know. their sng freeroll system was key in building from nothing there...plus, if you're just trying to freeroll and enjoy yourself and have a good time, and not have to worry about knowing that if you go deep, you're looking at 5+ hours...then the sng's just seem like an easy idea...and there's enough action there to use your bank with at least.
but ftp...freerolls? turbos, tourney dollars or sats, whatever...turbos...save yourself the time....tourney dollars are good too.
