We often lose our patience in free rolls because of all the crazy bingo plays. We start to think that we are not getting in there often enough.

This leads to us not using our skill edge and becoming equal to those we are battling.

My goal in poker is to play well and keep my skill edge even in the face of two or three hundred suckouts.

I cannot do it! :icon_joke

It does knock me off my game. I do however stop, relax, reflect and get outside input and then try again.

This video may help all of you who are like me.:D

For me freeroll is a tournament with a tournament paid the difference is that you will face villains who played anyway because they had not lost anything, and you will have to rely more on luck

You have to play with patience, I agree. Good cards will fall to you in time.

patient

You have to be patient but do not confuse with passivity, always move at the right moments so that the blinds do not take away the fold equity.:D

Hey
Its always best to start a free roll after a few hands are dealt.
If you catch AA in the first 1-2 hands and go all in, 99% you will be called with crap and lose.
So yes patience along with right plays can make you move ahead.
And if it is pokerstars than its your luck against pokerstars gods not players:):):)

I think that most of the players play more freely in freerolls, but retain the main key points of the game on a subconscious level. Therefore, I advise in freerolls make notes on villains that can help when you play with them in a buy-in game.

Try playing a fold simulator session and see how it goes. If you have the patience to wait for good hands and keep bluffs to a minimum you should keep an edge over the rambo gunners. Sometimes i play like them, sometimes i play my game. Depends on how i feel at the time i suppose.

Thank you for sharing and I agree busting out of a free roll in the first few hands is frustrating.

I have another post: Freeroll Wars: AA odds -if you have not seen it, it would be great if you could check it out and give me some feedback on the out of the box thinking I am speculating about.

Thanks again.
:)
