Are Cardschat Freerolls Worth Playing?

I understand the question. I've only played a couple of CC freerolls so far as I'm relatively new to the site. I find the style of play is VERY different with CC players than with the regs I meet on PokerStars.

When it comes to making money at poker, you need to find the game you can beat. You become familiar with the style played in a particular room or tourney type, length, stakes, etc.

So, with this, I get where the questioner is coming from. If it doesn't help you enhance your particular strategy and tactics for your bread and butter games, then its value is indeed questionable.

However, I like to review hands afterwards and try to find out where I might have lost less or won more. It takes all sorts to find strats which work in specific situations.

That said, it is hard to use specific strategies in freerolls and poker with novice players. So I guess, fundamentally, CC freerolls should help you to exercise your skills in adapting to new situations, acquiring intel on opponents (which a cynic might say is the actual purpose of CC), etc.

Winning poker is about finding an edge and exploiting that edge to maximum efficiency. Your edge will need to change with changing game environments. Volume is your friend in the end and will tell you if your strats are worthy.
 
All practice is worth it and the players from CardsChat are some of the best players I have come across, sure there are and always be the odd idiot who go'es all-in on first hand but hey! I am just as guilty especially if I have pocket Aces on first hand.
I feel it is down to your mood and in my time zone the game usually starts at 8.00 pm which is not late but when you have been grinding at the tables all day, you are beginning to feel the strain.
Free money is always the best to spend so don't knock the free-rolls they are well worth the effort.
 
CC freerolls are first of all practice, you do not risk anything, you can experiment, change your game. One of the main reasons why the best CC tournaments is a limited field, which excludes the parade of allins, which often happens in freerolls

I just played in the Saturday PS $100 freeroll and 3172 players entered, half sitting out for the first hour. The tourney lasts for hours (Blinds at 100/200 after 1hour),. Real good standard of player,... is it worh playing? over 2hr for $0.04. Winner gets $17.32

I would like to see 1000-2000 players max, and spread the payout to top 10% (200).

You decide if its worth it?
I am not happy with current format.:frown: Dead tables with Sitting out the most popular name.
 
It is a amazing place to learn, It is true that free rolls can last 4 hours ou more but You can improve yourself and you don't risk your own money.
 
Of course, I advise you to play because it is a freebie, learn, practice, get experience of the game. And of course good luck to you!
 
Definitely... More you play the more you learn. Just need to realize most people will play these mtt freerolls a little different than they would say a mtt that they actually bought in to
 
Are cardchat freerolls worth playing

I think they are. I cashed in the second one I played and have been playing a while.
 
100% yes !!!
These games are far more fun being the players are not playing like donkeys
they respect the game even if it was free, Luv Luv Luv
 
I think that the CC freeroll club tourneys are definitely worth playing and can help boost a bankroll fairly quickly. Probably the most consistent site with these type of high caliber players with mostly good players.
 
I enjoy seeing the familiar names when I am playing CC freerolls. I know I have my work cut out for me with a few of 'em. Whenever I see someone with a small stack who has taken me out in previous tourneys, I make it a point to make my presence known by trying to make their tournament play end quickly. Just to return the favor.
 
I play in CC tournaments at the Silver and Platinum levels. Playing in tournaments where the password is generally available and where several thousand people play does not interest me. It is a waste of time.
 
I play on several sites, and I also consider the CC freeroll to be one of the most difficult, the level is very high, which makes the game more fun and harder
 
i depends on how much players are registred
PS all members is too much
but some others are fun to play
 
Yes, Cardschat freerolls are challenging and a good way to build up your Bankroll. Luckily, there are not so many donkeys at the tables, so you can improve your game play!
 
Yes, of course. Specially for those who like me are still doing the first steps towards a more competitive game style
 
Yes it's worth it. I consider CC games to be very difficult, with a very varied field. Whenever I can, I play them.
 
Hi

Yes, they are of quality in terms of poker, prizes and there is respect at the tables from colleagues.
