The whole poker is based on playing for money, not for points and gift cards. The best way to increase your knowledge and improve your game is playing for cash, but I agree that sometimes it is good to play for fun with friends or in a pub, there is nothing bad or harmful for your game in it.

everything free is good, not too much to learn on freerolls only, no actual money involved

Probably not the best recipe for improvement, but if it is all you can afford then it is better than nothing.

No I explained earlier that I decided to play it to add a variety of live experience with different types of players. As I also play home games and at the casino, was just simply asking if thought it was a good idea for my poker game or not.

I feel free poker to be a good learning tool as it trains me to be a little more careful. I think to be a good MTT player you should be able to deal with all types of players from ultra tight to old fashioned bingo players.:D:D

have a good day and mood. very good - in my opinion, to play in the freerolls. СС on playing good players. they can learn something ... besides, it is a good warm-up before an important tournament. Many thanks to the creators that tournament by involved no more than 100 people, is a very good selection. Well done! keep up the good work! I'll be glad to help:): JD4:: JD4:

in short stacked turbo events you SHOULD be going all-in pre very often. It sounds like this is a good place for you to practice your short stack tourney play.

I'm quite happy with free tournaments, now they play rarely, but when I do not play for real money, then play free. :)

It may help in getting used to playing with real live people and some nuances of the game. I no not think it helps otherwise due to the "no risk" of losing $$$$.

....My biggest problem learning to play live was the chip counting and knowing bet sizing.Online you can look up and see the pot size on your computer screen.Live you have to keep up with what has been thrown into the pot,then make the correct bet size.
Thanks for this very usefull hint. I think I should give it a try. Since I've played only online till now, that can't be bad for me to start live anyway. I'll see, where it leads me to.

One good thing about it. It gives you the opportunity to try playing different ways to see how it works out for you. Due to the fact you have nothing to lose it makes it feel risk free in that sense. So in a way its a great opportunity to add more to your game.
