By placing in a few freerolls at Carbon Poker, I eventually built up a bank roll of about $15. One morning I woke up early and decided to play online poker for awhile. Being earlier than I normally would be online, I noticed a $3.30 tourney with a $625 guaranteed prize pool. That sounded worth my money since by then I had been placing a lot of the time in the freerolls...and at least winning back my money at small cash tables and .06 and .60 tourneys.
I couldn't believe it when I took first place! I won $227 since the prize pool had increased due to rebuys, which I never had to do
. I withdrew some of the money right away and began playing a little with the rest. The next week bounty tourneys started at Carbon so I decided to try a small one...$2.20 and ended up coming in first and knocking out 12 people too....about $92.00 there...I'm still playing with that money a few months later...
So, in my opinion, playing freerolls can be profitable
