Freerolls - Not worth playing?

**panamaredder** · 10-23-2007, 04:23 AM

I read the page about freerolls being a waste of time. I'm not sure I agree. Ferguson took 6 moths to get to $6.50. Don't you thing eveyone was gunning for him & thats why it took so long? I regularly place in the top 100 of most 2400-2700 FR's. I won $2 on my 6th try. There are truly may donkeys playing, but with patience & well timed aggression you'll make $.

hi

I agree you should play what your comfortable with

but my point was more that for the amount of hours involved in playing freerolls -
(to win money - not just to gain experience / play for enjoyment)

is a massive investment of time for the return - IMHO the players who are regularly finishing in the money playing freerolls could be making alot more for even a very modest deposit like $50

I appreciate that alot of players would have been gunning for Chris but that was probably something he was more than capable of taking advantage of

0-$6.50 over 7 months v $6.50 - $10k over 9 months

seems like a pretty good reason to save 7months and jump in and deposit even the minimum and play it very solidly

but thats only my view - Are freerolls worth playing ?

and I figured the article might make a nice talking point for the forum ;-)

cheers scrawnybob

I only have started playing poker a few months ago and started on Full Tilt. I have become better and better but have not won any freeroll cash prizes. I think they can be a good training tool in terms of playing your cards rightly and to better one's patience on the tables.

Freerolls are no waste of time
If you'll wait for KK or AA and then you'll pull the trigger then you will come in the $$

you do it for the cashh and it can take 2 hour before you are in the money so a nice tournament then
