Freerolls – different variants!

By now you have probably entered a couple of freerolls or more. You might have noticed that there is a lot of very different freerolls to play out there. In this article we will summarize the different types of freerolls out there.

Freerolls a definition

A freeroll is a poker tournament where you don’t have to pay money to enter and where you are able to win a prize with a certain real money value.  So it is a kind of mixture between a play money poker – you enter for free - and real money poker – you can win real money prizes. 

Poker Freerolls are widely used among poker sites to attract new customers as well as a way to reward existing customers.

Freerolls comes in all variants

When you decide to play a poker freeroll there is a couple of things we recommend that you should consider. If you are going all the way to the prizes you might easily use 6-8 hours in a big freeroll. So considering which one(s) to join should be essential before you waste 6 hours winning some points your are never going to use or entrance to a bigger tournament a day you are not able to play.

Satellite freerolls versus cash freerolls

One way to categorize poker freerolls is in terms of prizes. Does the tournament pay out directly into your account or does it allow you to play a bigger tournament. The latter is what we refer to as a satellite freeroll and the first one a cash freeroll. It is not that the one or the other is better it is just two different systems. Typically the cash freerolls have a relative small prize pool where the satellite freerolls leads to bigger tournaments with bigger prizes. At some sites like Everest Poker, PokerStars and Party Poker you can use satellite freerolls to get to the huge live tournaments like WSOP, WPT and EPT. They have different promotions like this running all the time BUT don’t expect it to be enough to win two tournaments to get a WSOP package – winning an WSOP through freerolling is tough buisness.  

New Depositor Freerolls

This is a special promotional freeroll which almost all Poker Sites use. In general new depositor freerolls have bigger prizes and fewer entrants. If you are going to deposit we recommend that you find out what freerolls that allows you to participate in and for how long. This differs from site to site.

Freeroll multi-table tournaments versus freeroll SNGs

Most freerolls today are in a Multi-table tournament format. Often you see many thousands joining them. But there is also a couple of sites which have small SNG freerolls running 24-7 . The SNG freerolls we know of is all in full ring format with either 9 or 10 players at one table. This reduces the neccesary time used on this freeroll and it increases the chance of getting in the money. The downside the prize pools are small. The sites who at the present time are running these SNG freerolls are: Everest Poker – who run the Fixed Limit Shasta Freerolls (click here for more info) , PKR has the 10-cents no limit freerolls and Carbon Poker - which accepts US-citizens – has a satellite variation of the SNG Freerolls where you have to go through three SNGs to win 1 dollar. These are called Fun Step Freerolls and you use Playmoney to buy in to the freerolls (to learn more about these click here).

Player Point Freerolls

These freerolls is kind of in the greyzone of being a freeroll. Player points have many names all depending on which site you are at. No matter name then you can use these points to buy into freerolls, but unlike playmoney these points are not just something you get for free. These player points are something you create while you are playing real money games, and they actually have some kind of value. So even though that the poker sites promotes these tournament as freerolls then this kind of freerolls have a direct buyin of value even though it is not dollars itself.

Loyality freerolls

Loyality freerolls are  restricted to certain players. They are offered to players who have played a certain amount real money games. Unlike the Player Point freerolls the loyality freerolls are given as pure reward at no cost  Betfred Poker is a pokersite that uses this kind of freerolls to the extreme.

Poker-Freeroller Freerolls

13 most common leaks at low limit

Lee Przytula is an online video coach on cardrunners.com. In 2010 he made very relevant video on leaks for lowstakes players. In this video he takes a look on low limit players understanding of poker.

He explains about the 13 most common mistakes at low limit.  You can see the video here and it is for free.

Otherwise you can read our speed resumé her:

Low limit Top 13 mistakes

Number 13

Playing to few hands. This is actually very fundamental, but it is cruscial to spend a lot of time playing  poker, if you want to develope your game. It is not enough to read books or discuss on online forums.

Number 12

Playing different limits instead of just one. It creates a better dynamic in the game if you are able to play more limits. You can play higher those days when you are playing your best, and go down in limit when you are feeling tired or tilted. ( Comment from Poker-Freeroller.coms own pro CrazyDog: ‘I do not like this mistake 12 as it for me is a gambler mentality disquised sheeps clothes – it is a dangerous and stupid approach and we recommend that you oick you limit from a conservative bankroll management perspective) 

Number 11

To miss the opportunity to steal dead money from tight players in the blinds, and to call players in position who opens way to light and c-bets to much without following up on turn.

Number 10

Trying to win to many hands without a showdown. It is in general more difficult to bluff bad players, who often calls with marginal hands. Instead focus on value, and value bet thinly and catch bluffs.

Number 9

Thinking to much about decisions. It is a good thing to think about what kind of decision to make, but firstly you must be able to figure out what level your opponent is at. There is no reason for to create a masterbluff if your opponent has no idea waht you represent

Number 8

Too static bet-sizing. Versus bad players who don’t understand what different betsizes means you should be able to adjust your bets so they fit your hands better.

Number 7

To small a personal poker network. Most pokerplayers that has become good in the game of poker has in one way or the other used a group of friends with the same interest, where they were able to share information and create new knowledge together.

Number 6

Playing to many hands out of position. Position is extremely important in poker.

Number 5

c-betting without having a plan for the rest of the streets. Be aware and prepared to what turn and river cards you are willing to second or third barrel, and be ready to give up when your hand has to little potential.

Number 4

Focusing only at your own cards. A lot of players on the lower limits focuses waý to much on their own cards and fails to use the right amount of energy on figuring out what the opponents hand is and instead act accordingly.

Number 3

Calling to many 3-bets. It can be hard to fold when your are facing 3-bets, when you normally would  raise  preflop with a good hand. But with approximately 100 big blinds implied odds are not good calling with marginal holdings (which where 100% legitimate opening hands). And never setmine versus 3-bets – at least not twoways!

Number 2

Tilting. It is essentiel to have a plan for how you would discover and handle tilt in your game – or else it is gonna cost!

Number 1

No table-selection. Play versus players hwere you have already found specific leaks and where you have a plan on how to exploit those leaks. This is so much better than playing versus a player where you just have noted ‘fish’ or ‘donk’.
