Yeah I know freerolls are lame, but I don't want to bother depositing on a website and I don't trust myself with that kinda access yet. I play real money live games with friends very often... but sometimes I do the freeroll gig at poker.com

Well, almost busted 20 / 1500 (only top 10 get paid) but caught a decent streak to make it to the final table. Made some plays, found myself headup with a 4:1 disadvantage in chips. Guy was a real bully, I finally started loosening up + amped up bluffing (hard to do, normally in freeroll / donkfest you want limit the bluffing). Finally i get up to 2:1 lead w/ monstrous blinds... I take it down. I won only $15- I mean I've won plenty more in home games, but it's the most I ever got online. Plus outplaying the 1500 field is good for the ego (okay luck helped plenty).

I know freerolls are a donkfest... but I beleive that most MTTs are donkfests to some degree... just get a lot wilder and stupider donks down at the bottom of the stakes. Yeah I shoulda posted winner circle but eh.

Take your $15 to the microlimits, turn it into $30 or $50 and start playing SnGs. Build that roll up!

BTW, microlimits are the same as play money or this here freeroll and you'll winrar.
^ Worst advice possible, don't listen ^

Okay so I'm not properly staked for anything... but which would be better: playing .02/.04 NL ring ($5 max buy) or $1.10 ($1 + 0.10 rake) SNG's?
