It all depends of your skill and your bankroll managements... There is no exact time-wise answer to this

You could get out of it very quickly by just putting together a bankroll that supports play at higher limits.

Think about what you're trying to achieve and maybe phrase your question a bit differently - do you need to get out of microlimits and freerolls or do you need to beat them, and why? One isn't necessarily the same as the other. And time is also worth something, although maybe different from one person to the next.

How long does it take to get out of microlimits and freerolls?
Progress is of course very important, but why stop playing in freerolls if they allow you to increase your bankroll without risk. A risk-free game that brings money is just perfect :)

Hello trejoxnxx! It depends on your current bankroll and your knowledge of the field low, let's say it doesn't just depend on the $ in bankroll as we have to beat the limit below to be able to go up there.
limits low you will find more competent players than studying the famous ones (regs), which will make your profitability more difficult and your ability to stay at the level above!! more just matter of study in community solvers! dedicate yourself to the low limits! I suggest that first make a healthy bankroll and beat the micro stacks to be able to seek knowledge of low. glgl

If you want to win hands, then you have to think a level higher than your opponent. Micro-stakes players love to call. At the micro-stakes, your opponents usually won't raise pre-flop unless they have a strong hand. They have one plan. Hit the flop, catch a good hand, and win as much money as possible.

I think it all depends on bankroll management, if you know how to manage your bankroll well, it doesn't take so long to raise the buy in
but on micros you can also make good money

When you play live microlimits in a California casino the rake will eat you up . It's like a black hole .... there is no escape .

Hello.
This question doesn't have one clear answer.
I think you can play limits higher if you have a bankroll in 150 buy ins or try micro limits latelites.

It depends only on you. Some people play freerolls for years, just for fun, some use freerolls to increase their bankroll, and there are those who do not play freerolls and prefer buy-in tournaments. You can choose for yourself the direction that suits you best.

Depends how good you are playing poker. There are players that are able to increase stakes fast because they have the qualities of a good poker player. But there are players that will never leave freerolls/microlimits games.

Hello, I played little in microlimits, I realized that it is very hard because of the variance and because of the crazy players who pay with garbage hands and beat you. That's why I play mtt where you can play more calmly and climb on your bench

Привет, мало играл на микролимитах, поймал, что очень тяжело из-за дисперсии и из-за жертв их игроков, которые платят мусорными руками и обыгрывают тебя. Поэтому я играю в МТТ, где можно играть спокойнее и залезать на скамейку запасных.
Привет. Вы внесли депозит или создали банкролл с помощью нескольких фрироллов, чтобы играть в МТТ?

That depends on how fast you learn the game and beat the micros. Also bankroll management is very important to play confortable

It depends a lot on how dedicated you are to poker, the hours and money you invest in poker are also important factors that can help you build a good profit and thus be able to get out of microlimits and start at higher value tables, however, if you are new and you do not have the economic solvency to be able to invest in poker and start playing, if you have to resort to playing free tournaments it will cost you a little more time in my experience to get out of those types of tournaments, more than anything because in the free tournaments what you win is too little to be able to get out of the low cost tournaments.

I have read podcasts of people who have moved to medium stakes within a few months. But for this they hired coaches and spent a lot of time on training. And, of course, it also takes talent.

You need time to gain experience with hands and situations.

Its not about levels like micro stakes, freerolls, high stakes or whatever you think.

You need the knowledge then it take time to learn and time to gain the experience to know when to do something or when not to.

If you're just starting out it would be years because you would need to learn the knowledge and experience against those particular players like their tendencies.

Even if someone gave you a blueprint like if you wanted to learn stud, then I'd tell you go to Advanced Stud by Skansky and even if your game was basic enough to understand the jargon and terms, it would still take you a few years of working with the material.

And that's with Sklansky and co authors telling you WHY you should and shouldn't play a hand!!!!

Its the same with any game, there will that temptation to play a hand or that feeling to "get back to even" when you've lost a big chunk of your bankroll.

I mean the list goes on and on and people think the players they see on youtube and TV just started playing, lol.

And folks are like, I don't want to play on that level I just want to beat the bad players and they don't understand that you still need a certain skill set and that takes time to develop and its not going to come in a training program, a book, a video or a chart or whatever someone is selling you.

Its a journey.
