Why do I bother with freerolls?

I think we all play them for the same reason THEY are FREE!!!

obviously if you have some sort of a bankroll it's more helpful to play in tournaments where there is real competition; however, for players like me who only get the chance to deposit so much a few times a year, freerolls are one of the only real opportunities to play in large-field tournaments.

They're especially important now that it is so difficult to deposit from the U.S; I simply can't get money onto Stars.

Well ofcourse u dont have to play freerolls
but some people who doesnt deposite money on their account will play freerolls to earn real money

I started to play with real money tables and lost money very fast not much only 70 dollar after that i decided to play only freerolls to improve my game. I got 15 $ total for 1-2 months not much i know but i feel that my game play is getting better but i still afraid real money tables winning is hard and losing all money very easy still for me

Freerolls are a great way for new players to get used to tournament poker. Surprisingly you can learn a lot from freerolls if you play them a lot. It can get brutal though if you play the public freerolls. The players just play way too loose in them. Private freerolls are the way to go. Smaller fields and better overall play. You can get a serious bankroll started from em. I know I have.

I also play alot of freerolls and find that it can get trying. A freeroll to me is a form of practice, but yes there is alot of donks out there and I like to call them bingo players. Yet if you take this in stride and use this as a way to practice your skill of patience you will gain from these games.

I have 9to 5 job that's pays ok, so I have no goal to get rich in poker. also my job doesn't pay enough to waste money... that's why I'm here having fun with a freerolls

Freerolls were fun but after playing so many you kind of get sick and tired of the Donks that what to play bingo poker...no strategy just keep raising and raising on nothing..I now spend most of my time on raked games,not as many bingo players..my thinking is a freeroll is a good place to meet other people while playing,Im not much of a chatter but if it's a friendly tble I'll participate in the conversion no problem ..it makes it more enjoyable ...if you cash in thats even better..and if I don't so what I just spent a few hrs meeting other people and learning their styles.
