All good things to consider
You and I see alike on a number of the common pitfalls of freeroll play. In the end, it's what makes me not a fan of the free tables, but your points are solid and you do make a compelling argument for practicing a few intangibles (calculating odds is a good one) that really don't change much from the free tables to the cash ones. Good article. |

Solid strategy advice
I think this is an excellent article. It contains solid tips for free roll or money tournaments from the start of a game to the end. I liked all the points you made, but thought advising players not to treat a free roll like “it costs nothing to enter”, was particularly good advice. If someone is playing free rolls because they eventually want to play for money, how can they learn anything by playing like they have nothing invested? They should at least consider their time an investment in learn |

Valuable tips for all
I really liked your first point regarding players who will “buy the pot” before the flop. Don’t fall into that routine; it’s reckless. Paying attention to your own betting patterns is also a very important tip that you have pointed out. When I first stared playing, I wasn’t very aggressive. I would have a decent hand deal to me with a decent flop, so I would raise, and then as soon as someone else went all in, I folded, not waiting for the turn.

I met a guy in the local poker hall who said, after we decided to 3-chop the $500 sit & go, "You are good, but need to play more. I lost over $500,000 learning to play."
My immediate response, of course, was that maybe he should have taken up piano...but before the 'net, where else could you learn against real people? Just emulation software...nothing else. No prep |

Exetremely useful tips
Great article.
I particularly liked the last point about the importance of being aggressive. Very true on the last table, this is where you make your chips count. The players who have made it to that point will look for the timid player and will easily gang up to take his/her chips. It’s all about finding the right hand to make your move with, you’ve got so far, and it’ll be ashame to dwindle away.
All the other points are valid as well and extremely useful for the rooky player. |
