Hello
I was just wondering, i'm playing online poker now for a few weeks. I play freerolls, sit & go's and pay tables Hold'em. Because i don't have a major bankroll I don't play with lots of money. But there are so many crazy people going all in wth for instance a 24 and 37 that i'm starting to wonder if i'm not learning it the wrong way now ?

These ppl are called donks, they teach you how not to play, play them with good hands and the will just give you money, put a mark (comment) in the notebook for when you meet them again, normally the bigger the table the better the play (not always) i would say stick to your sng for now, watch the donks go out b4 the blinds hit 25/50, micro ring games is almost a game of chance, truth is a lot of them dont know what they are doing so its hard for you to know whats gonna happen, watch some of the bigger limit games, see how they play.

freerolls are fun and thats it ,the only thing you might learn is patience . because you can forgett about position you can forgett about bluffing,nobody gives a damn,so its really just gambling and if you happen to never cash in like 20 freerolls in a row it still doesnt mean you are a bad player because its more of a game of bingo than it is poker , you should play freerolls untill you have like 20-40 dollars and then look fro a room where you can play micro cash games such as 1-2 cents not higher in the beginning . after that you should read something about staarting hands and position play,tight play is never wrong in online poker only too tight play is

Just follow the ICM (independent Chip model) and you will never go down in the long term... Just be sure to play tournaments you can afford to buy-in 30 times
