Free Roll Tournament Winners - Why Play for Cash?

If those of you out there winning or even placing highly in Free Roll tournaments are questioning moving into real cash tournaments, don't question any longer, your skills are ready.

Free Roll tournaments are naturally more volatile then real money tournaments for one reason, there is no risk to the players. If you go all-in and lose, you don't lose a penny. If you are consistently finishing in the top 10 percent of players entering these tournaments, you are playing some pretty good poker. The fact is you are dodging a lot more bullets then you would in a real money tournament. Although luck plays a part in all tournament poker, it's the consistency factor that you want to really look at. You couldn't be doing this consistently simply on dumb luck.

Try playing in a $5 or $10 multi-table tournament and see how you stack up. You've probably won at least this amount in free roll money if you've placed highly. The return in entering a real money tournament is so much higher for your time spent playing. You can potentially win thousands for placing top 3 in a multi-table tournament with a few hundred participants. The great part about these tournaments as well is normally a placement in the top 10% will always get you your entry fee back.

We're not trying to take away from the importance of practice in a free environment, this is a great trial ground for your strategy and for knowledge of the game, but you'll never truly understand the dynamics of poker unless there is true risk involved and true value involved in placing highly. If you're only playing poker to have fun, then why not play for fun and win a little money while you're at it.
