Ive just noticed these freerolls on party poker so there newish at least, a $500 and $300, you would probably have more chance of winning the lottery 3 times in a row than winning one of these as there is no limit on numbers (some close to 10000) but they are an upgrade on there last crappy Freerolls.

Well those kinds of big freerolls tend to be made up of a lot of donks and even some sitting outs. So you should have a decent chance to make it into the money if you play it right. I play a lot of freerolls on poker stars, so there are a lot of big ones there. Yet I have made it in the money many times and made final tables several times as well, but if your plan is to donk out in every hand you should probably think again.

I play a freeroll seriously when I have no money, but when I won a few dollars I can't concentrate on freerolls anymore. Till now, it was a frequent period in my life: I won money in freerolls then I made 100-300 dollars, but at the end I lost all... Now I have some money, and I hope that I can keep and increase it...

i love playing free roles.. its all i can play... if anyone can transfer me some cash theat would be awsome But i tink free rolls are great for a broke guy like me.. too bad there hard to find and take a long time to happen...
When you feel unlucky you begin to play freerolls. The same thing when you bust out. Well sometimes it's good as you can take a break still playing poker.

i like freerolls, you can tryout things and see how people react etc. of course you cant compare it with cash games, but its still better to try things as on playmoney. and those on party poker are great. made it twice to the $10K final, so if i can then others too for sure

yeah ive never really taken them seriously, ive made the money a few times, i actualy got a royal flush on the final table of one i played in, i was out next hand though lol, i think id prefer if they didnt have so many freerolls and the ones they did have were worth 2 or 3k, even if they were only once a week, i know the numbers would increase dramaticly but id rather play for real money instead of pennys, so i agree with Eeben its just to much time for little reward.

Depends on what freerolls you play, I've made a 100$ + a few times in poker stars freerolls. But sure it's better to play with a real buy in for faster gain. But in the end isn't it the same as the free bank rolls? Its better to make a deposit and get rakeback.
