How to play a free roll poker Part 1

This was published 18-08-2010

Free rolls are poker tournaments where you don’t have to pay an entry fee. The good news about this is that it’s free but the bad news is that the prizes aren’t as big as regular tournaments.  They are still worth playing, however.

Poker free rolls help to build up your bankroll.  It is possible to move ahead in the game and build your bankroll, without having to pay a single cent.  You can play in free rolls to build your game and gain extra experience.  Its not easy to get the experience to play at a tournament’s final table as chances are you don’t reach that side too often.  Final table experience will help you gain the necessary skills to improve your game.

Its fun to play in poker free rolls.  You get to mingle with lots of other players with various levels of experience and you don’t have to worry about losing money.   Because the free roll is free to enter, you find different types of players in the game.  For instance, you will see absolute beginners and those players who don’t really even try hard to play because they haven’t spent money to enter.  Some of them are simply having a laugh.

What some players do not know is that it’s difficult to play against beginners, as they don’t make the same moves as an experienced player will.  Your raises and bets will not necessarily be respected.  You can’t really guess which cards your opponent has.  You won’t get very far with using moves that are too complex.

You will have to adapt your poker play according to what opponents you are playing against.  Make sure that you just play with great starting hands. Other than in a normal game, you can make big bets and bigger raises.  If you have bad cards, leave it, don’t try to bluff.  That’s basically all we can say for the beginning part of our article on how to play freerolls poker part one.  The rest of this article will continue in How to play freerolls part two.
