U really have a neck for this tourneys man, freerolls if i can say so my self, are the hardest to win or do good in, they have huge field of players, not to mention all the donks and bingo players who u have to avoid or hope your luck holds against, and they last for hours at a time, so congrats, not just for this one, but for alllllllll the ones u have in recent times made deep in, u r one sick puppy

Freerolls are the easiest, not the hardest.
If you cant beat the donks, what hope have you got against proper players?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Donks, bingo players, are one and the same thing, for example, yesterday there was this donk on my left, soon as he saw an ace in his hand he shoved allin, i was dealt AK, so i raised to 4BB and right out of the gate the donk shoves, right then and there i know i have him crushed, i was going to be heavy favorite to take down the pot, every1 else folds comes to me i shove, we open AKvA6, thats 71% vs his 29% the flop QJ7 turn comes 9 and the river brings the miracle card for him a faking 6, now u say freerolls are easy, even dou i did everything right poker wise, even dou the donk knew he made a big mistake, he still won the hand, by what u say i am left to think u have not played freerolls that much, to say with confidence "they are easy to play", or if i cant beat the donk what chance i stand against proper player, well theres a big difference between proper player and a donk, proper player understands 3bet 4 bet, knows what cbet is, knows what betting for info is, knows what big bet on the turn means, knows what check check all in means, so i have allllllllll that to play against him to make him fold the best hand, my strength in poker is post flop game, so i know what to do in almost any siuation, whereas the donk doesnt have any concept and faking idea what all those things are, and just plugs along hits his one card and his good, so after u play as much as i have freerolls i am more then sure u will not say they are easy to play, coz i can play against all kinds of players NIT`s, ultra tight players, loose canons, pro`s, amateurs, but theres only one player i cant play against, thats LUCKY player.

Sorry TheIrish77 to derail the thread, but I couldn't let this go

So, firstly, you get someone all in and are way ahead. So what's the problem?
If you can't consistently build a big enough stack in tournaments to absorb hits from the fish, you are probably doing something wrong
Posted by SBEP:right then and there i know i have him crushed,
You 'believe' you have him crushed. He could easily have a pair and you are flipping, you never know anything 100% for sure.
Posted by SBEP:i was going to be heavy favorite to take down the pot, every1 else folds comes to me i shove, we open AKvA6, thats 71% vs his 29% the flop QJ7 turn comes 9 and the river brings the miracle card for him a faking 6,
So you get someone all in, are a heavy favourite. Again, whats the problem?
Posted by SBEP:now u say freerolls are easy, even dou i did everything right poker wise, even dou the donk knew he made a big mistake, he still won the hand,
This time he did. Most of the time you double up and he busts.
Posted by SBEP:by what u say i am left to think u have not played freerolls that much, to say with confidence "they are easy to play", or if i cant beat the donk what chance i stand against proper player,
I didn't say that they are easy. These days nothing is easy in poker. But yes, they ARE easier than a game of proper players.
Oh, and LOL. I am approximately $40,000 up at poker over the past few years. The past three years I play approximately 2 hours in the evening, pretty much only freerolls, and have averaged a tad over $150 a month every month. This year alone I am approx. $900 in profit, from freerolls. And I am paying a $12000 wedding from poker winnings. Just so you know.
Posted by SBEP:well theres a big difference between proper player and a donk, proper player understands 3bet 4 bet, knows what cbet is, knows what betting for info is, knows what big bet on the turn means, knows what check check all in means, so i have allllllllll that to play against him to make him fold the best hand,
What? There is plenty in freerolls to make people fold the best hand. It is your strategy that is wrong.
Posted by SBEP: my strength in poker is post flop game, so i know what to do in almost any siuation,
Yet you give an example of someone being all in preflop
Posted by SBEP:whereas the donk doesnt have any concept and faking idea what all those things are, and just plugs along hits his one card and his good,
70% of the time he won't.
You would rather be 50%/50% ?
Posted by SBEP:so after u play as much as i have freerolls i am more then sure u will not say they are easy to play,
As above, LOL
Posted by SBEP: coz i can play against all kinds of players NIT`s, ultra tight players, loose canons, pro`s, amateurs, but theres only one player i cant play against, thats LUCKY player.

What? Up $40,000 over the past few years while averaging $150 or so monthly?
