Poker Freerolls - Why Bother?

I have to admit I am obsessed by poker free rolls the whole idea of getting something for nothing appeals to me and judging by the numbers who enter them I am obviously not alone. Now apart from the appeal of getting something from nothing, WHY does everyone love free rolls? Do a quick search for "poker freeroll" you will get countless listings of sites offering freerolls or sites listing different freerolls.

The reason why I am confused is because freerolls offer such bad value! Now I am not talking about value for money because their free, how can something be bad value for money when it's free you ask? I'm talking time value with the average freeroll prize pool between $50 - $500, each taking around 4 hours to complete you are never going to win enough to make a decent return on investment. Added to the fact freerolls are notoriously full of bad beats and suck outs.

Why should you waste your time on something with so little chance of a return. I'll tell you why I play fun! Pure unadulterated fun. Fun is the main reason people play poker and is one of the first things forgotten once players have tasted winning. Most hobbies cost money but poker you can potentially earn money. Now your never going to get rich playing freerolls but you can graduate from playing freerolls into small stakes cash games. As long as you remember you are doing it for fun.

General freerolls will never have any real monetary value however what they provide in entertainment more than makes up for it! Stephen Graham has been playing online poker since 2001. In 2006 he decided to start playing full time. Recently he launched http://www.tishpoker.com to try to help players new to the game to game improve. He is also writing a blog exclusively on freerolls which can be found here http://www.tishpoker.com/blog
