Tight Poker

[BarrattG]

Ok , I know playing free rolls is rather pointless.. They are either all out donk fests or you end up getting no where near decent money even after hours of decent play. my question is 180/2500 on PKr 50 $ freeroll good , and is 120/8000 on pokerstars horse free roll good . also what do you think about free rolls. Thanks Greg.


Now ive manages to come 13/6000 in horse and 23/7000 in 8 game and about 73/8000 in 2-7 so tickets for me

Those are pretty deep finishes! Generally the amount of time that it takes to play in a freeroll and the size of the prize pool makes them somewhat of a waste of time. That being said, they are still a great way to practice your tournament play. They are more realistic than play money, but you have to be careful to avoid learning bad habits.

Sometimes playing in a freeroll can be good to relieve stress also. Since it didn't cost you anything, you can go all in a lot and suck out on people to make yourself feel better.

Many players have built sizable bankrolls starting with freeroll winnings, so it's definitely something achievable. Of course it is much easier to start with even a $10 or $20 deposit and grind up from there.
