Anyone making money out of freerolls?

[brokeagain]

I play them any chance I get. It is good practice for real tourney play. I like to move a lot of chips around in any tourney I play in, and this gives me a cheap way to do that and work on different things in my game. I have one I play in a couple times a week that gets less than 300 players which I like because I play mainly live events with less than 300 players.

I typically don't waste my time on them (I can make a lot more lpaying for realy money, even though there is risk associated with doing so), but I think they are great for new players or players trying to build their bankrolls.

Check the Sticky post in the SPAM section for a $5000 freeroll going on Friday night.

i focused pretty hard on the prima freerolls for a while, and i had pretty good results. back when they capped the number of entrants at 500, I won a $500 freeroll (good for $125), and then I made a couple more final tables, good for another $100 or so. I also made the final table of a fulltilt beta point freeroll, which was good for about 30 bucks.

i found that this was a very good way to learn how to play the game in a muchless risk averse setting, but after a while it just became too much of a drain. it didnt make sense to play for 4 hours and end up winning five bucks, or missing the money entirely.

as for strategy, i always played very tight for the beginning rounds, because people were pushing it in like crazy. if you only play premium hands and dont worry about stealing pots until after the first break, you can be in very good shape.

Won a $10 freeroll on Pokerchamps when it was Beta testing. I think there was about 250 people participating.

Two first places and a third place in those for a grand total of $13....woohoo! thats like $1/hour (only counting those I won)

[bothecorgi]

I agree - I got a First and a Third - Total of $7. It looks like the site may be up and running with real money so who knows, maybe I can double it and get up to $14 LOL.

LMFAO, play a 4+ hour freeroll to win $5. I think Stevedapimp should take note .

I would love to see the win rate per hour of anyone making money at freerolls. Man I have looked at the lobby board at Stars and see some of them way over 6 hours, all to get a seat in another freeroll for a shot at 100 bucks if you win the thing.
