Message: [QUOTE="Poker Orifice, post: 1472220, member: 33113"] You say your experience online has been in freerolls.... how can you consider comparing this with a real game? (of course there'll be ridiculous suckouts because of the retarded play in the freerolls). Comparing play in online freerolls to real money is apples & oranges..... obviously. If you read any of the poker mags. you will regularly see pros making statements like this >> (Justin Bonomo >> " a player who is a winning player at their local casino in $5/$10 making a transition to online & attempting to play at those same stakes will be busto within a month or two" << not verbatum but pretty close). Many compare live $1/$2 to 10nl online ($0.05/0.10),... there are a TON of online micro grinders, some of them taking it very seriously in an effort to move up in buyin levels (you'll see alot of players in micros who've played 100K+ hands there). I had no qualms about depositing $'s online when I first started out & had never heard anything before about 'freerolls'. Once I got going though I did happen to come across some priv. poker forums that offered freerolls to their members (& the play was half decent & at least gave me an oppurtunity to see many hands). A short time after I got playing online I wished I'd deposited more than I originally had... not because I was losing but because I wanted to be rolled to play at higher buyin levels (didn't want to be stuck playing $1 sng's). The slow & steady grind was okay though & provided me with alot of entertainment/recreation. My suggestion would be to make a deposit (maybe $100 - $200) & start out at micro limits (10nl if playing cash game) & then grind out a few thousand hands (10K+) and then just take it from there (only seems like a natural progression). On the flip side, I've known many people where I live who'd deposited online & have attempted to play at limits they'd typically play live, lose their entire roll, deposit again... lose it again & then claim how online poker sucks so bad & that no decent player can win at it (none of them believe me that I'm actually +$'s online, lol... except when they're purchasing chips from me, lol). To consider sticking with only the freerolls after already knowing how to play & with some experience..... idk... I guess it just depends on what your own goals/aspirations are with it. Personally I love online poker it f'n rocks (I'd be devastated if online poker ceased to exist). [/QUOTE]
