Welcome to CardsChat TTKSHE

Freerolls require a lot of patience to cash in.

Even though the winnings seem small - you will be able to play larger games if you use proper bankroll Management.

Also - here is some free courses, guides and information.

If you want to quickly build a $1000 bankroll, you can't do it out of thin air.Of course, there are ways to get started from scratch, without investing a single cent of your own money.However, trying to get ahead in freerolls from scratch usually requires too much time to waste. And since time is a non-renewable resource, it's much easier to forgo that $60 and just sit down at the table.

You have obviously just started playing, if you have such an impression. I must say that this is a false impression. Thanks to freerolls I make at least $100 a month and this is practically from scratch. Maybe for you $100 is not money, but for me $100 is the full payment of all utilities for a three-room apartment.

It seems impossible to me, since in freerolls players go all-in on any card.

Freerolls will always be profitable because they are free! That’s the nature of the beast. It does give you the rhythm of a tournament but is very difficult to cash in on admittedly as players don’t have ‘real’ money to risk.

Pretty much what the previous posters already stated, it takes a lot of patience and having a good strategy, learn to play in position, be wary of sitters/limpers, raise/steal blinds when possible, etc.

Everything is possible, but is it worth the time and effort? It is better to improve and climb by limits

If you need high income, then you need a good high-paying job. You could, for example, go to medical school and study to be a cardiac surgeon. And if you are diligent enough, in 12-15 years you will quite possibly be a high-paying specialist.
Freerolls are tournaments for players who play poker not for the sake of high income :)

The only way to make a big profit from freerolls is to win every tournament. This is practically impossible, so you can't make a big profit from freerolls.

Of course it is.
You are playing for free and even a weak player is going to get a cash now and then, so pure profit?

Of course, it is possible to build a bankroll using only freerolls, but it requires patience and dedication to the process.....

You can play in freerolls or not. If you play in freerolls, you won't need to spend your own money on the game. If you don't play in freerolls but still want to play poker, you'll have to spend your own money. So, which is better?
Which option do you think suits you better?

Yes, a good and respectable win can be achieved if you take advantage of the profits from freeroll tournaments and invest them in satellites to play a medium or large tournament. Yes, then you can win a good amount of money or advance and qualify for a large world tournament.
Good luck :)

You can always do banking from the free, but you must have an optimal game and do things right

Facts, the value of money differs from person to person, I'd also say that $100 is alot of money for me. Freerolls are a game changer

Per definition you can not lose in freerolls, so if you play enough of them, you are sure to win at least something. But of course this does not mean, its a good use of your time. For anyone serious about online poker I highly recommend to deposit at least $50-100 and then start to grind either 2NL cash games or $1 SnGs / tournaments while simultaneously watching training videos etc.

It depends on what do you mean by "high profits".
If you mean effectivness of invested money - sure it is infinite, since you pay no entrance fee and win money from time to time.
If you mean winning serious money - basically no, since in most of freeroll's rewards are not big.

True, freerolls are a great opportunity for players in poor countries to make life more affordable.
For me 100$ is (almost ) nothing since the costs of living are exponentially higher in Austria.

So while I get your approach , it doesn't make it true for everyone. It is awesome that freerolls can pay your utilities, for me they are just for fun and eventually some bonus money, either for adding to my bankroll or small purchases like cigarettes and maybe a small grocery shopping
