Why you should not play poker freerolls.
September 11th, 2007
Nowadays poker freerolls are extremely popular. And it's obvious why..
Because it's free. But are freerolls so goods as it's seems? No!
First of all freerolls attract too many different players, there are novices and advanced players. There are such who had never played a hand and such who are playing constantly. That's why many players get knocked very early and if you play for more than an hour it's time for you to move further. Change the limits. Anyway, the main poker freerolls problem is that it is FREE. That's right no one invests money and that's why there are hundreds of players moving all ins from time to time. You may get kicked from a freeroll with AA by a maniac moving all in with K3. That really sucks, but this never happens in real money games. Now, what are your chances of winning? You play 4 hours, to get into the final table, which shares $50? Hundreds of players, hours of poker, for a few bucks. Come on, this cannot be true. It is simply not worth the money.
I agree it is very good for a starting player to get introduced to the game, but if you feel your game improved, forget the freerolls. Start playing $1 or $2 tournaments.. These are real money and prizes are worth much more and the poker you will play is real poker, not the freeroll with crazy gamblers moving all ins every now and every then… It is not worth your time.. It is not the real poker, it's a fake..
