think that freerolls are just for fun. People dont really care whether win or lose. Many just go all-in with whatever they have..........For these people, the entertainment is more important than to be in the top, isnt it?

There has been days in the past that i shut down the pc while i was still on a game from my nerves and frustration. Not the best thing to do but i had to control myself in order to be more normal in real life the rest of the day.

I think we all know what that is. There are some mobsters who don’t like to comment freerolls, but I am one of those who keep saying this is one of the hardest phases all the good players have to pass through. If a good player cant win a freeroll, or at least going to the final 10, so he can only handle one type of poker players, not all. You did well, things went wrong. Next time it wont be this way!

I agree with Fakiry in some way, freerolls are a good practice to determine your preflop hand range and it's good to know when to fold against some fish that gives you a suckout on the flop, you know his handrange and you know you are probably beat, some people will still call or go all in because they can't fold their premium hands, if you decide to fold you are one step further.

No sometimes you have a sort of unlucky streak. Its import that you will stay pacient and learn to survive. If you learned that, it will be very profitable to play poker The first year i played real money poker i lost very very much money making the mistake going tilt after a bad beat. I should have quit the moment i tilted

Ha ha Dozn, good one. Sums it up though, I'm pretty loose in freerolls too. In any case Welcome to the forum Urmas1983, ask questions, we have an active community. Also I hope you do better on your next tourney.
Good luck, and try some offers there's quite a few good ones.

I am familiar with a losing streak. The way to survive is be pacients, i know that when you have a losing streak you will lose how strong your hand is preflop or on the flop. Just throw strong hands away if you almost know for certain that your behing, thats the key to succes

throw away strong hands and paly rubish hands? not likely to win anything at all with this kind of bad play..just hang on ..avoid playing second best hands ...and fold a lot
