i dont see how freerolls can help u learn to play cuz about 3/4 of the players dont play right cuz its free. If u can show one site where at least 3/4 will take a free roll serious i will believe it. untill then there like playing the lotto.

With 100% of all tournaments online and this includes buy-in tourneys you will always find those who play serious and those playing unserious.

If you are a pro you will never get affected by other players in the same tourney if they do play "unserious" and will keep to your own strategy and plan to win the tournament.

Freerolls can be very good for practice depending on what sort of player you are. If you want to learn and improve your skills, you will do exactly that.

I grabbed the 2nd seat in ixgames bodog freeroll the 19th april that gave 3 entries to the sunday $100,000 event.

I played with a serious mind!

and this is ofcourse if you get the cards you want, then you will do better than great. Doesn't matter how much you believe in yourself, if you get lousy cards you wont get far.
