Often I read here and there - “I got up from freerolls”, “I gave my word not to invest my money and got up from freerolls” ... I wanted to feed myself on this good deed, but it’s bad - it's hard to get into the prizes. Kiloton fields and a small prize pool, as well as a relatively small number of people in the prizes, are all about them, about freerolls.
About two years ago, I rolled twice a day on RedStar. And for two months with hits in the prizes I filled as much !!!! 2.5 dollars. Then he doubled a couple of times in DONs, then again merged to 2.5) Fun. After receiving a no-deposit, he successfully filled in the PS at the FTP for a month and, too, began to indulge in frisches. The difference is that there were 3,000 people on Redstar and 250 in prizes. True prizes from 2 cents. And on FTP, the prizes (if I'm not mistaken) of half a dollar, but out of 7.5 kotels, there are only 45 in prizes. Well, estimate the percentage? All are well considered?
Just now, he rolled Rush Omaha. In two hours of the game I got as much as $ 2 in prize money. Better than nothing. However, if you take into account that for 2 hours at work I get $ 10 and on freelance - $ 20 - I would rather make a two-hour coven) Although the fact that according to the "dollars per hour" indicator the chips are even inferior to NL2 is no secret. And if so, why the hell do freerolls ever play?
For a
bankroll. Despite the fact that the ratio of $ / hour in freerolls is very low, you can increase the bankroll like that. If you have a lot of free time - go ahead. I sometimes run into some kind of freeroll during work and catch monsters) Caught - push. Not really bothering with rivals and other crap - all the garbage stupidly dumped. IMHO, in such fields it is not worth it. Unless in the late stage, when the game begins more or less adequate. And before that - pure luck. Those who want to put on any2 - a dime a dozen. That is why almost always in freerolls the number of players is reduced by about half to a break. And those who push successfully several times in a row become chips. And they either continue to push and fly out (because the supply of luck is not endless), or they begin to play tighter and, possibly, get prizes.
Personally, I think so after all the recounts. Than to roll freeshes and collect for 1 dollar, is it not better to earn the same $ 50 for 5 hours on purpose for this business (by making a scaffold on typesetting - instead of 50 hours of freerolls) and make a deposit? There will also be a bonus.
Perhaps you should make a reservation about private freerolls - there will be fewer fields. But the prize, as a rule, too.
For training. Purely playing hands, collecting statistics - yes. To work out some kind of muv ... hardly. Because most opponents are fish fish and either do not know how to play at all, or do not know how to play at all. Of those who know how to play, some just relax and do whatever they like, the rest sit tight and wait for the first birds to fly.
Probably, observation of opponents can also be developed. But in the later stages, when people begin to turn their thinking at the very least, and when you do not so often jump from table to table. Naturally, Rush freerolls on FTP do not concern this) it’s generally difficult to observe anyone there. Nonetheless, those who need it will adapt.
You can also learn to write notes. Only you need to make a note that this note is made in the freeroll. Because it happens to have fun and let off steam in freerolls, players average and higher are registered. And then like this you will meet a man with a note at a normal table - and he does not play at all as it is written.
For relax. The goal is directly opposite to the previous one. And pretty good. Perhaps this goal in the freeroll is easier to achieve than the previous two. You sign up for free and do what you want. You let off steam and perform something that you would never be able to decide on in your usual game (cache, MTT or CIS). For a change. You can, of course, let off steam in the game for candy wrappers, and just a punching bag. But in a freeroll, if there is enough lacquer supply, you can also win) In principle, medium and high-limiters for such purposes are simply micro-limits. But there, after all, you still have to pay money. And here it’s free.
To kill time. Perhaps, freerolls do best for this purpose. Another thing is that for the best quality time killing you will have to play them in different rooms, because in each individual room they are not so frequent.
So is it worth playing freerolls? It depends on what purpose to pursue. Perhaps there are simpler options to achieve your goal.
