FreeRoll VS Cash

[Swittie]

i think u must have some kind of "special talent" when it goes to cash tables, i mean, u better be a lucky azz .........

cash games is the best. if you lose, all you have to do is reach for your wallet. in a tournament, once you are out, ur done. i hate that.

I have to disagree with this one, because usually I get more play time for my money when I'm in a tourney. Plus almost every casino has cash games going, so when you get knocked out of a tourney you can still go join a cash game. That's what I usually do.

With me being new to poker, I think me not having the ability to just reach into my wallet would be a good thing lmao. And it would make me want that win that much more

So I think maybe i'm starting to do better PO freerolls 12 out of 30 cashed took a first place in one. I haven't been doing good at cash tables lost a lot , think I might stick with sng's and trnys i played my first buy in trny , it was a .50 on bcp took second out of 80
im staying away from cash tables for a while for sure dont like them

If you're only used to freerolls, I would suggest playing some real money MTTs first. But in general, cash game play is more like the early parts of a real money tournament. Stacks are big in relation to blinds and you need a big hand to get all-in with another stack. All-in preflop is usually not ideal in cash.

freeroll payouts suck. i fought through 600 people just to get 55 cents. not worth it. a smaller tourney with a bigger payout would be the way to go. the only upside to freerolls is no risk. they just take way to much time
