I began to play poker and as a beginner I won a lot of things (it ever happens), so as more I learned more I lost. I really was concentrating all my energy on being a better player, but I was in a cicle with "Playing >> Losing >> Studying >> Playing...". After losing a lot of money and a lot of time a lot of times even having a reazonable knowledge about the game, I've decided in first place stoping to waste money, because of this I began to play freerolls (Free tournaments of poker). People that know freerolls are scared on playing them, they say that playing them is impossible because freeroll players use one of the most important weapons of poker: The agressivity, they are suicide agressive players level. But freerolls give to you for free the first trainning: The patience (it's a profit). The second thing is that you can earn real money without put money in the game, you earn cents most of times, when you earn off course, but is better than losing tens of dollars maybe hundreds, then my money began to reverse his flow. Now I play cheapper games but I am satisfied because I can hit my chest and say "I am a winner player".

You had a great ride in poker. From early successes, to overcoming adversity and finally to a very satisfactory solution. It is time to adjust your strategy. Especially when you move on to freerolls. There you'll face aggressive players. Focus on patience and choosing the right hands; this will enhance your efficiency highly. Good banking management is also very much needed. This way, you can play without worrying about big losses since switching to cheaper games. Your opinion also plays a great role. Ensure you have patience and treat each lesson like a chance to learn. Crucial, even in the midst of grief. Long periods of play help build endurance. Knowing your progress boosts your confidence as a player. Consider the meetings and the environment. This will ensure that you do not waste so much time and money. It helps you to control and balance. Poker can be fun: Now it feels like being a "winner", you have turned your experience to a positive one.

I don't think freerolls should be taken too seriously. They are simply a free opportunity to have a good time, gain basic poker skills and get another portion of life observations. Freerolls are also a free opportunity to get a small dose of adrenaline. But it is impossible to build a long-term earnings strategy, for example. Poker, in my opinion, is generally a difficult source of income. Even sports betting seems less difficult to me. There is little you can calculate in advance in poker. Yes, you also need a very good memory to count cards.

Know exactly where you're coming from! Freerolls are great fun. Acquire basic skills and enjoy the game without financial risk. Though I agree that it is not the best foundation of a long-term economic strategy. But what I also found is that they sometimes teach valuable lessons about flexibility and adaptability. As tough as poker is and sometimes unpredictable, I still believe one has a lot of scope for improvement in the technique and skill parameter, particularly when shifting gears to other formats. It's hard indeed to make sustainable income out of poker. But the insight one gains from freerolls as well as low-quality games can still find their way into enhancing the quality of your overall game. And of course, there is also this adrenaline kick that makes it enjoyable. Whether it has profits or not.
