I have so far played 24 freerolls and tried many different methods. I have played extremely tight but this often leads to still getting bad beats and you can soon get blinded out. I have tried the all in for the first couple hands to try and get a decent starter stack. This does work but obviously not every time. And I have also tried mixing it up. The most frustrating thing is when you play for over 2 hours and then go out to a sick beat or just not hit any cards for ages and going out around the bubble. More often than not I have got tired and not played as well as I can. But I'm staying optimistic, I will achieve this. I have so far only cashed once and that was for a massive 87 cents!!! But its a start, just not enough to play any type of buy in game, so its freerolls for a while longer yet!
I have made notes on every game I have played so I shall share a few of my thoughts on free rolls and the highs and lows I have been through so far:
- It takes between 2 and 3 hours to get to the end of a freeroll and even if you win you dont win much! I should get a part time job at maccy d's! That would pay far more!
- It seems a lot of people sign up but then dont play. Quite often there are only a couple of you at the table playing early on. I even had one time when I was the only person playing so that was easy picking up the blinds every time. I just wish that the auto fold would be a bit quicker than it is.
- Make sure you watch carefully all the time. Once I folded when the only people to act were sitting out. These were blinds I could have picked up for free! Stupid play!!
- Get used to pushing with a stronger hand like AK and getting called by 3 8 and your opponnent hitting a 3 on the river. In fact get used to pushing with Aces pre flop and losing. I was all in pre flop with aces and got called by a king 6, of course he hit a flush!
- DONT ever try to bluff!
- The time of freerolls cuts right in to the evening. As I dont have a laptop, running up and downstairs while cooking dinner is a right pain!
- Dont ever turn your back for a second! I had a suited ace and called pre flop. I was tidying my room at the same time and when I turned round I realised I had been re-raised only 3 times the bet. I ran back over but it folded just as i got there. Of course my flush hits on the flop, 3 people end up all in and I miss out on a quadruple up!
- There is always one knob who calls all ins everytime but gets lucky everytime. So you wait for a premium hand to sting him with and he still manages to sick beat your pocket kongs!
- Pocket 10's always lose to Ace 10
- 'Gay' seems to be my most used word in my notes. I dunno why, I have nothing against gays. But it seems to summarise so many of my games and the bad luck I get. Although I'm not sure how this term can be referenced to these situations? If anything the only gay thing would be pocket Kings or pocket jacks. Pocket queens could be deemed as gay but i prefer lesbians.
.........Anyway, I hope you are feeling and sharing my pain! I will keep going, I will stay strong and I will crack the freerolls and get some money in the bankroll! Wish me luck, and stay tuned for my next update!!
