If you don't have any money in your account and are trying to build a bankroll, then yes, freerolls are worth playing. You say that you spent four hours playing a freeroll to win $20. If you didn't have any money in your account, then you would probably consider it time well spent. Even if you had let's say $40 in your account, then that extra $20 would be very welcome, and again it was probably worth the time spent to earn it. On the other hand, if you are bankrolled for $50NL cash games, then playing freerolls might not be worth the time and effort. But as others have pointed out above, playing freerolls might be a good way to keep your skills sharp. Then again, the level play in a lot of freerolls might bring your level of play down, unless of course we're talking about the CardsChat freerolls, which are also a good opportunity to rub elbows, figuratively speaking, with your fellow forum members.

even so to my knowledge there are the best freerolls here on cc !! But with one hint, you can trigger that 4 hour in 1 second!

It is always worth investing time playing freerolls because the only thing you are going to invest is time and most of the freerolls are turbocharged, but I tell you something that happened to me years ago: one day I decided to play a tournament in pokerstars, I remember that the buy In it was $ 0.55, I spent a large part of the tournament in 1st place, after more than 8 hours playing I was eliminated, I do not remember well from which place I was eliminated, but it was something like top 100, and I only received $ 5 after being 8 hours playing, which tournament do you think was worth playing? Perhaps the investment of money was very low, but the time I invested playing was a lot, from that day on I better analyze what I was going to play in terms of investment of time

In addition to not winning anything, we can still lose when we pay to play a tournament.
So yes, the freerolls are very worthwhile, as we don't pay anything to play and we can still earn some money. Where else are we going to improve our skills without paying anything ??

Freerolls are one of the ways to get at least some real money to play. Another question is what will you spend your time on this, which also has value From the point of view of gaining experience that will help you in the future when playing for real money, it is at a minimum in freerolls. Most people do play for money, not like in freerolls.

You just made $20 appear out of thin air,,,for playing an enjoyable game (esp when your winning,,,) and now have the opportunity to win much more,,, :deal: Winning and not feeling good about it,maybe it's time to play something else.Winning is supposed to be fun.
