when you then factor in the variance of having to play several MTT over time (like freerolls) to cash in one of them - your actual hours worked / played to make a few dollars or cents ...

is huge

I still maintain (possibly an unpopular view) that past trying out a site to see if you like it playing freerolls long term is not a great strategy

My personal approach / suggestion to any freeroll players after a while would be to either -

deposit using money save by not going down the pub for a night or two

deposit using money saved by doing a few extra hours overtime that month

but I appreciate this is only my personal view and others definately disagree and seem to find freerolling profitable and time well spent

at the end of the day enjoying the game of poker is an important factor for all of us ;-)
