So I think freeroll is for time then you get basic knowledge, and then real money, if u realy want to play at ept or wpt in the future..
I might say the main problem with freerolls is simply getting to play in them. Most poker sites want that initial $ 20- $25 deposit to get you started . It's a little tricky to get by the the initial deposit. Also to maintain your sanity you have to assume your not going to place or win an entry ticket into a real money game at least 50--75% of the time. 10-20% of the time you'll be a winner. This Furgeson techniqaue is not as easy as it seems .. it requires a lot of time and patience
I've built a bankroll a few times now from freerolls only until I cash out and quit for awhile. I think it's a great way to ensure you'll actually be able to win. The risk is none but the time investment is definitely greater. If money doesn't mean much to you just deposit. If you have a lot of time play freerolls
it is necessary to play freerolls only if you have a lot of time. because on them a lot of time, and prizes small leaves. Quietly to play SNG it is necessary to have on the account at least at 30-50 times more than there is an entrance to a tournament and not in which case not to give in to passion. Very difficult and long to earn such money in freerolls therefore I consider that the deposit it is obligatory. For a start put into the account at least 10 dollars and play SnG on 0,25.
besides game in freerolls and game with a paid entrance is absolutely different things. In freerolls there are a lot of players who have come to play about and there are all-in with any card. Over time you will learn to play against them and itself you will begin to adapt to their style of game. But as soon as you will pass to paid tournaments you at once will understand that it is absolutely other type of poker. which you haven't learned to play yet. Therefore you will very quickly lose all money which I had earned in freerolls.

Freerolls are waaaay different than cash games. Issue with freerolls is riskfree playing.
Your opponents doesnt risk a single openny and almost every hand you see one or two players going all in with rediculous hands. Constant table swaps leaves you very little room for learning behavior of your opponents. If you wanna learn for bigger games, id recommend deposit like 10 dollars and do few cent games every now and then.
Even with 1 cent on line for opponents they play more carefully and you get the better sense of risk games.

To begin, you must first define discipline. If it's MTT tournaments, you need a minimum Deposit of$ 10 and you can play tournaments on the 0,25 $ 45 and 90 man. 40 buy ins is enough. To start with freerolls do not suggest because in most cases there the game turns into a game of Russian roulette.
At the beginning is always good to start with the freerolls .You earn that way some free money , you test your skills , the software and RNG of the pokerroom , you invest the profits on SNGs and particularly to one specific game , let's say 0.1$SNG to develop your abilities and become better at it . Never start playing the MTTS , they have a great wide variance so you'll lose a lot of money . Later when you'll feel more confident and sure for your game and your wins , make a deposit to see if you can play well and receive the first deposit bonus .
Freerolls are a great way to begin online. Not only are you gaining experience, but you are seeing a wide variety of play/players. Like others have said, you just have wade through the idiots for a while and you can finish pretty well.
I just recently, turned two top 10 finishes in freerolls into a small bankroll. I took the two minimal payouts (about $1 total) and went to a .01/.02 cash game. Made a profit for enough for a small buy-in SNG. Cashed and continued to play in small SNG's, where I have built that up to over $25.
It can be done, it just takes time and patience.

with all the hassles of depositing money into poker sites from my country, i finally managed to deposit min cash of 20$ into pokerstars and the next thing i know...i lost it in couple of weeks...may be i am bad at poker 🙁 but i would suggest to start by freerolls........ Good Luck at the tables
