I placed 2nd out of 1250 in a Jetset $150 added freeroll last night!
My best ever tourney finish and a first time playing heads up! After 5 hours hard graft, I trousered $18 - and was I happy? Good God yes!!
The only downside was that it didn't finish until 2:30am and I was knackered all day at work.
But still . .

it gets their site out there for new players to check out, it will hopefully get them to do a real money deposit.

advice to any/all: absolute poker has 40 freerolls a day, but theres usually 2000 ppl per tourn. it takes a long time to win $10. the trick is to get involved with as many "restricted" freerolls as possible. usually much smaller crowds for same or more money

"POKER PLAYERS" I'm really proud of all of yothat made it. I Made the last one to get in and when I got in couldn't get no cards and didn't do worth a hoot. Maybe I can still get in if my cards help me out and if I don't ,I gave it my all. Poker is one, you can't bank on! Wish all Good Luck and Good Cards.

Premium hands, yes. But I just don't get it when three or four people jump in pre-flop and the best of the lot is A7o. Yesterday, I saw someone go in with 6s 9s after two people were already in. Gah!

I agree with all of you in that freerolls are a great way to gain experience. From a newbie like me, I definitely need all the practice I can get without having to lose so much money. As for which approach is actually better, I believe that many people play loosely in the beginning because they don't want to have to spend a lot of time playing tightly in the beginning only to find that they lose after playing for 2 hours with nothing to show for it. I certainly have gone all in in at the ery beginning (of course with premium hands) in the hopes of gaining a large stack early on. And if I lose, it's no problem because I didn't waste my time and I played for free.

Thanks for all the interesting opinions. Just to add my own, I've noticed an interesting split in freerolls with large fields. Some people play ery loose, either because simply they don't know any better, or because they figure if they don't start strongly, they might as well be out quickly.
Others play pretty tightly, presumably knowing that they'll be far off the early lead, but choosing to avoid the early carnage in the belief they can catch up later on.
Is either approach actually better, or is it a matter of personality?

I use freerolls to start a balance. They are a great way to learn tournament poker. If you learn well and make it into the money, then you have some FREE money that you can spend on other tables and learn those too. At the moment I am trying to see if I can earn $100 on a site without putting any money in (i.e. using only freeroll winnings). If you can manage to do that, then you are doing well (and you will thus have a bigger bankroll for bigger tables).
In fact, why don't we start a competition.. see how much money you can earn without spending a PENNY/CENT. To earn cash, you would only be allowed to play freerolls. Once you have earned money, then you could play at any table.
You could use any site to try and amass your fortune, but you can only use money earned on a site on that same site (thus avoiding deposits).
What do you reckon?

but is freerolls really good practice? I've heard from many good poker players that I should insert like $100 and learn that way instead of just playing freerolls, but I haven't got that money to spend for learning poker :\
