Message: [QUOTE="A2345Razz, post: 2659153, member: 90717"] [B] What! I ask you, is that not the title you placed on this thread? [/B] No, in fact it isn't. The title of my thread doesn't talk about freerolls being bad for poker. Perhaps you need to reread both the title and the OP and other posts I made. Yes, new players will on average lose more than they win, and yes, we need that to occur for poker to be a workable ecosystem. I wish I could create a scheme for you where no one loses in poker and everyone can play and play and play with a chance of winning big and lots of large fields/liquid cash games without someone losing, but I cannot. The economy of poker needs depositors to maintain itself and many of them need to be players with less experience than others.....I absolutely believe that. Some will bust their rolls, some won't. I also never said rank beginners should "just deposit" and be "easy pickings".....nowhere did I say that, and in fact, I said they should start off with other forms and then move to real money and yes, deposit. I also never said people should just deposit again and again and again with no end in sight, and most won't no matter what I say. People need to budget a certain amount to learn the game, and not rely on solely freerolls to build a bankroll and improve. That is what I am saying. There shouldn't be an overriding idea that somehow depositing is weakness or redepositing a few times at the beginning of a poker career is somehow bad, unnatural or to be seen as defeat, it isn't. That is the essence of poker, and I am sorry if the kill or be killed nature of poker hasn't been clear to you from the beginning. People also need to play better players in order to improve at times in all fields. If you never are playing a superior player in poker, you simply aren't challenging yourself enough to really improve much. [/QUOTE]
