Freeroles.

Postby Raisor » Thu Jul 27, 2006 1:23 am GMT

Are they any freeroles where you can play in and get money onto your account, without making a deposit?

I know holdempoker.com you can, just wanted to see if any other sites did it as well.

Most sites offer freerollls and yes, if you place / qualify, real money will be submitted in your account.

Freeroll

Postby UtrechtSlim » Thu Jul 27, 2006 6:22 am GMT

You can definitely build an account from freerolls. However, if you're serious about this game, I would discourage playing in them, because they play like play money games. Feel free to disagree, but before you know it you will have adapted a preflop style that is not profitable in any real kind of stakes.

Yeah, I know there not good to play in. But I can't make a deposit so I have to get used to them.

What sites?

FullTilt fulls up in about 10 seconds.
PokerStars theres like 5000 people.

Any other?

holdempoker, only about 800 join for a $500 pot.

I play the freerolls on PartyPoker and PokerStars. Some of the freerolls on PP have 10,500 players, but they are entertaining.

10,000 people?

How much is the pot?

Any small sites that have freeroles that not that many join?

Holdempoker, ones starting in an hour and only 800 people play.

I don't think I've been in a free roll with less than 800 so you might as well go for it. Should at least be a good test

I played 25th on a Doyle's one last night. They have them daily for $50, winner gets like $13 or something and top 27 get paid.

Not too bad, top heavy compared to say Full Tilt where you get more in the last place of the money but less for top 3 than Doyle's, etc.

Oh BTW Doyle's was a 1000 person. I've also heard Titan Poker is very good for freerolls.
