I would recommend not paying attention to the cost - it depends on the size of your bankroll. And look at the structure of the blinds. It will be more useful for a beginner to play slow tournaments with deep stacks. This will allow you to closely monitor the game and learn to make decisions in the late streets of the hand. In contrast to transient super-turbo tournaments with a short stack. They are more designed for luck and understanding the push-fold.

In my experience, I would say do not only play freerolls.
Because people get bored and shove a lot. It is not real poker as people are not bothered about losing.
To really learn you need to lose. As strange as that sounds (once bitten twice shy) I would say you need to keep depositing and playing at the smallest stakes. $1 dollar buy ins, all sorts of tournaments. 6 max, single tables, 45 players and the larger tournaments with large entries.
You will learn much quicker that way, and eventually be able to hold your own.
But you have to lose to learn why, in my opinion.
Hope that helps.

Freerolls, and small buy-in's are enough of a risk to me, still. I tend to get to more final tables, the more experience I have gained and the more I "let a good hand" go that is no longer a TOP hand concerning what I think the other players could have. I trust my instincts. They get me 75% through the game, there are maybe 25% of players that can fool me.

If you just started to play poker, then better of course is to play freerolls. But if you have, for example $20, you can play mtt with 20 cents buy-in.
About type of tournament, better is to play normal speed tournaments and no rebuy, because turbos might be more difficult for beginners. Suggest you to find your favourite game! And good luck at poker!

I recomend you to play freerolls, as more as you can until you reach bankroll at least to 50$. Then you can try youself in SnG torneys on microlimits. Also for beginners not bad profit have knockout tournaments with bounty for knockinged players.

Play freerolls 1-2 months on ACR, not for the money but for experience, learn how to play solid ABC poker! (this is the most important aspect of playing poker - how to play tight, when and when not to take the risks, lot of people still dont know what really means to play tight) then after you learned ABC try other strategies and try to find the perfect balance between strategies. All strategies are good for different stages of a poker tournament, changing gears is the last thing to learn.

freerolls are the softest then micro 2cent 10cent 25cent , my win rate is 7cents in 25cent 45mans over 500games so i would start there ,freerolls is not played in a proper manor . If you are just starting out is best to learn the fundementals of poker rather then just play , sure you will get better by playing but if you have not picked up a poker book or two or online content then you will lose , If you dont know what icm means and how is relevent then you have a lot of work ahead of you , you need to learn to put people on ranges , understand board texture , know what pfr ,cbet , stuff like that mean and how it applys , tag people who call light , understand how to play small pairs deep or not deep , have a decent understanding of hand ranges to play in each spot , term (nash push fold chart)and a bizillion more things

It all depends on what purpose you want to play poker?
If this is a hobby, then I advise playing freerolls, if for a salary, then for small limits and try to increase your bankroll.
The game in freerolls and in cash games is very different!

It all depends on your bankroll and time.
1. Multi-table (MTT) tournaments take a lot of time from players. If you can not devote enough time to the tournament - then you should pay attention to single-table (SNG) tournaments. The main SNG tournaments end within an hour and allow newcomers to feel the structure and dynamics of the online tournament play. Just do not play poker roulettes such as Beat the Clock, spin and go, etc.
2. The basic principles of conducting a bankroll are as follows:
- to start the game in MTT, your bank must be at least 100 buy-in of the selected limit
- When playing SNG - 40-50 buy-ins.
In the case, that your bankroll is zero, then you should play freerolls to create a minimum bankroll of about 10$. In the future, play SNG tournaments for 0.10$.

If you don't mind losing a few dollars then go with micro stakes tourneys. It's always more fun to play with real money than freerolling.

You are advised to play freerolls, but only in real tournaments you can lose your money so the slow-moving 2.20 will be okay
