Do you remember your first freeroll?

[soy.KIRA]

My first freeroll was here on CardsChat. I didn't go far, but it was a great experience. It helped me to play with more concentration. Do you remember your first freeroll?

My first freerolls was on pokerstars..but I can't remember the name

 

[Flyer35]

It was either Pokerstars or Full Tilt. Full Tilt had great freerolls back then.

My first free tournament was at PokerStars, but it's been a long time so I don't remember which tournament it was.

 

[MishkaZL]

I don't remember. It was a long time ago. I played my first freeroll about 8 years ago. The only thing I can say with certainty is that I played this freeroll at PokerStars because it was at PokerStars that I created my first poker account.

 

[KrazyKoo]

I do

It was glorious!

 

[romerim]

My first freeroll was also on PokerStar, an incredible experience. And I haven't stopped since.

 

[dorsk]

I don’t since I’ve never played a freeroll.

 

[10gerka]

If I still remember, it was 4 years ago, where I was able to play a big freeroll that partypoker was organizing. The best thing was that I got into the prize pool in that tournament.

my first game online was a $1 buyin MTT on FUlltilt in 2007. I placed in 2nd out of 900+ entrants & I won $114.00 I was hooked!

My first freeroll was on AbsolutePoker they had them running every hour. While playing in them I found out about a big online league called Railbirds. I got hooked on their games & from there I found Cardschat (the first freerolls I played on Cardschat would regularly have ~ 4,000 entrants!

I remember those days. You could win consistently just by being disciplined. I'm not sure that's possible anymore. Something's changed.

Yes, it was on PokerStars, there were a lot of freerolls there then, it was 25 years ago, I won 16 dollars.

In year 2000 Pokerstars did not exist and I call fiction writer on that post.

My first freeroll with real money prizes was on Pitbull Poker in 2008.

I can’t remember when I played my first game, but I do remember playing with you on the team called ‘Crazy Canucks’ 🇨🇦 on FullTilt. They were good times and still miss them. 🥲

If u trust me i remember that i win my first freeroll tournament, and it was 100 euros 1st place, 7 years ago

 

[theoxy]

Yes i remember my first freeroll on expekt poker (ipoker room) . There was a lot of freerools when i start playing , but now nothing .

 

[alucaa]

Yes... I was so happy, it was in Pokerstars, but I lost quickly because I was worse than I am right now hahahaha, I thought I could win easily, as I was wrong...

 

[dzsire]

I don't remember that (on some Boss Media software, Paradise Poker maybe), but I'm sure I tried to take it seriously.
Well, this attitude can change very quickly, especially if you're very enthusiastic, and then you fall flat on your face.

 

[tagece]

It was in Pokerstars, many years ago. I won a 0,11 ticket and I felt great. So I put a target to myself. Win 10 dollar and then starting to play with real money. It was a good plan , after all.

 

[G0930]

FTOPS Event at Full Tilt.
It was a capped freeroll for tickets for their tournament series.

I remember having to click on the register like crazy. Or at the area where the register button would appear. It was full within seconds 😅

I don't remember my first freeroll, but I do remember playing it with basic knowledge and not understanding much more than the rules of the game.
It's remarkable how much you improve over time.

Each to his own I guess. I remember spending 7 - 8 hours in mega-freerolls (many thousands of entrants) making it to the final table or two more often than not, with little to no understanding of the game. I do much worse now that I have a much better understanding. Has a lot to do with patience I guess, or lack thereof. I see people today who are ultra-tight who do well by just sitting and waiting. I find that works for me too, but only on those rare days when I have an abundance of patience.

Ladbrokes offered freerolls a really long time ago.
After winning money, I finally started playing poker seriously.

 

[R.Holynskyi]

I played my first CardsChat freeroll at 888. My first freeroll in general, I played at PokerStars. I don't remember if I won anything, but I can definitely say that I enjoyed it
