Playing Free Online Texas Holdem Poker Games

There are a huge number of online casinos available to players around the world these days, and the majority of them offer free play, or “freeroll” games which allow you to test out the site and practice your game without adding a credit or debit card, and without putting any money on the line.

Some experienced players denounce free online texas holdem poker games as being worthless.  This is an extreme view, and not necessarilly correct.  The players that dislike free online poker games do have some valid points, but if you remember what you’re dealing with you should find that you can get a lot of valuable experiences out of free games.

The first thing you need to remember is that free games can be played by anyone – free games are “soft” (well, in terms of free money), but you are also liable to end up losing hands that you would normally expect to win because you’re up against a total novice who is playing like a lunatic and risking play money left right and center.

You can’t expect to learn much about psychology when you’re playing free online poker games, but you can benefit a lot from practicing bankroll management, pot value tracking, and hand value assessment – things which apply to all kinds of game.
