Seymour Bluffs 0 Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Hello Folks,Just joined FCP the other day and am really pizzed that I waited so long to get here! Seems like a great way to learn the game and looks like there are a bunch of really cool people on here that I am looking forward to getting to know!I only discovered the game 2 years ago when I was invited to a weekly home game and was instantly addicted! The first online poker site I joined was Jetset poker which was really good for freerolls and had built my bankroll up to $150.00 when they shutdown due to the stupid internet gambling law! Never did get that $$ from them but since it was theirs anyway I didn't care too much!So have since been playing on FTP and they do have some freerolls but with 2700 players entering and only 27 places paid have yet to win any $$$ So my question is, What sites offer the best and most freerolls for someone like me who wants to build a bankroll through this method?

bdc30 0 Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 It's all good - and I wasn't saying you're shady or anything like that. Just usually takes newbs a bit of time to get an avatar, etc. I know it took me a while to bother.Stick around, post, etc. Look for stakeament threads. For freerolls, look to the smaller sites. The money in them will be less, but so too will the number of players.As someone else said though - if you're serious about poker don't play freerolls. They're not poker. Deposit some money, even 20 or 50 bucks. Try some small sit n' go tourneys or 4.40 180man's etc.Freerolls suck. Link to post Share on other sites
YBravo 0 Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 While freerolls are indeed a tough way to start a bankroll and you will probably get pretty frustrated, I wouldn't say that you have to deposit to be serious about poker. A number of well-known internet players started their accounts through freerolls. That said, do not play the freerolls on Tilt. Beating 2700 players to win $15 is a gigantic rip-off. Look for other sites. Link to post Share on other sites

rogerwilco 0 Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Well, at best freerolls are a tedious way to make some money, at worst a waste of time - you won't learn much and you're unlikely to win money.I think there are sites that give you a couple $ for free just for signing up - I don't have a link available, but maybe someone else here could tell you details. I think that would be a better start than freerolls. Link to post Share on other sites
qyayqi 11 Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 okay, so you want to be a freeroller. doyle's room, you're canadian so it'll work and their new network has $1k freerolls, a much better payday for going deep. absolute poker, various freerolls and my best 'freeroll to money' site, went from $0 to over $700 without a deposit.

They gave me $10 in the account I emptied out so I went to play some low buyin SNGs and they don't offer any 1 table NLHE SNGs. The structure's better than it used to be, but I played a lot of Omaha.
