Freeroll Meaning

Negative freeroll occurs in poker when a player places an all-in wager on a hand that can only either tie or lose. A negative freeroll is relatively common in low stakes amateur play, but in higher stakes play, it is considered a serious blunder to allow a negative freeroll on the final round of betting due to the amount of risk involved.

Negative freeroll usually occurs in no-limit or pot-limit when contemplating an all-in wager, where the player acting first checks in a situation where they would be forced to call an opponent's final bet (due to pot odds and the strength of their holding). If the opponent has a stronger hand, the opponent will most likely bet and the player will call and lose all their money regardless. However, if the opponent has a weaker hand, betting may be the only way to get the opponent's money into the pot, as checking allows the opponent the opportunity to check in turn.^[1]^[2]

It can also refer to a situation where one is faced with a bet and is considering raising instead of calling. If the betting player has a polarized range indicating that he is either betting with the nuts or is bluffing, raising with a made hand is a negative freeroll, since the expected value of calling and raising are identical when the betting player has a bluff, but the expected value of a raise is worse than a call when the bettor has the nuts.

Freeroll A situation with no downside and a possible upside. Often used in poker to describe a free tournament in which real prizes can be won or a hand where players currently have the same rank hands, but one has a chance to improve and beat the other without reciprocal risk. Freeroll is said by players in situations that have no risk and some reward. Examples: “Mark gave me a 50% freeroll on the lottery ticket he bought.” or “I freerolled dinner last night by going out with my parents.” Tilting. Tilting refers to frustration. It’s probably the most common poker slang term on this list. Freerolls are free-to-play poker tournaments, meaning you won’t be charged any entry/buy-in fee. If you don’t quite yet have the confidence to start playing real-money poker online seriously but would like to dip your toes in the water, here are some other freerolls we have available on Natural8.

Hypothetical examples[edit]

In a game of no-limit Texas hold'em, in heads up play on the river with an $8000 pot, both players have $2000 remaining behind. The board is 5♠ 6♠ 9♣ 9♠ Q♣. If the player acting first holds 6♦ 9♦ they must bet to avoid negative freeroll even though they are losing to an opponent holding 7♠ 8♠, a pair of Queens, or the 9♥ with a Queen. In this case the higher holdings will almost certainly bet and the player will be compelled to call due to pot odds and hand strength, while lesser holdings such as a lesser full house, a flush, or a straight that would have called the bet may simply check to see the hand down. Furthermore, with only $2000 remaining to bet in an $8000 pot, checking to induce a bluff is unlikely to succeed against competent opponents.

A second example in no-limit Texas hold'em: The board is 5♠ 6♠ 7♣ 8♦ 2♣ and the first player bets. Assume that this player will only bet any 9 (a 9-high straight) or 9-T (a Ten-high straight) for value, and otherwise is bluffing. Raising his bet with any 9 (a nine-high straight) is a negative freeroll because the betting player has no hands that lose to a 9-high straight with which to call. The bettor either folds (in which case you win the same as if you had called), calls with a 9 (you split the pot, which is the same as if you had just called), or calls with 9-T (you lose more than if you had just called). Raising with a 9 would only have merit as a bluff if you believed this player capable of folding any hand but 9-T.

So what is online poker freeroll hand?

Jp Freerolls Intertops Password

It is when you are playing a particular hand of poker a freeroll is a situation that will arise (often when only 2 players are left in the game) and before the last card has been dealt. This is a game in which one player is guaranteed to at least split the pot with his opponent no matter what the final cards are. But there is also a chance that he can win the whole pot if the final cards are dealt in a certain way. Often this mostly occurs during a high-low split game. This is when one player knows that he is guaranteed a low hand and that his opponent will not be able to make a better low no matter what card is dealt. But this same player who is low might also possibly catch a lucky card which gives him a straight or flush which means he can win high as well.

Also a player who knows he has a freeroll can raise the pot with impunity and so very often a less skilled opponent who feels he has a good hand but does not realize that he is on the wrong end of a freeroll will continue to raise. Unfortunately for him there will be no chance of any possible gain at the end of the hand.

Freeroll Poker Meaning

In the poker game of Hold’em it is possible for you to know you have a freeroll without actually seeing your opponent’s cards. If after the turn of the board you find you have two aces and two kings (all of separate suits) and you hold the AK then you are guaranteed a split at minimum. However if you find that there is a possibility of getting four of a kind (nuts) then you are guaranteed the winning hand if an ace of king should come out next.
