Nowadays there are lots of good freerolls everywhere, but how to avoid tilting? Because even knowing that there are many beginners, I get mad at a guy with 93 off, beating a pair of KK for example. But how to avoid tilting in freerolls

Just chuck it all in until the add on session. No point trying to play properly when the blinds are going to force your hand anyway. You can start playing properly when the number of players have been massively whittled down.

But how to avoid tilting in freerolls
I wonder too... But if I take the loss as my fault, which it is, my tilt has been going down lately. At least that's how I felt last night...

Start by trying to find out, why you tilt? Logically this makes no sense, since you are playing for free. So as others have said, where does that feeling of entitlement come from? Why not just enjoy the experience of playing and have some fun (like others do)? After all this is, what freerolls are for. They are not for getting rich or "build a bankroll" or whatever other nonsense, some people will try to tell you ;)

It's definitely frustrating, but you have to stay patient and try to make the best decisions ..'bad beats' are just part of the game... theoretically, if you 'get it in good', over time you're going to make money...It can be a real pain in the arse tho'.. :) .. have fun .. :)

if you can't avoid tilting in a freeroll, you're going to have a tough time with this game

Cool down, take a carrot.
93 off will only win over KK aprox 1 of 20 times.
In the long run you will be rewarded not tilting.

Behind this concept lies a psychological phenomenon that manifests itself differently for everyone. Let's use a simple definition: tilt means that a player, for some emotional reason, makes unusual decisions for himself, and you need to play differently, it all depends on the situation.

Сейчас везде много хороших фрироллов, но как избежать тильта? Потому что, даже зная, что есть много новичков, я злюсь на парня с 93 офф, например, побив пару КК. Но как избежать тильта во фрироллах
after half a year of playing freerolls, I realized that tilt can only be defeated with sedatives)

I think you should have self-control and continuing playing with your strategies, sometimes poker have crazy players, but this is poker.
Good luck.

Freerolls?? The best way to build your tolerance!
Just play tight and ABC poker and if it's your turn to win some money enjoy it!
Without risking any money don't expect your opponents to play ''correctly''!

The freeroll tournaments are really hard, and sometimes people just play for fun without strategy and then the game depends of luck and not skill :(

For the first time I'm going to disagree with you... but nothing too out of line...
I say this because freerolls really can help boost your bankroll (there are many other freerolls besides cardschats).

But the mentality is just that... playing as if it were a normal (paid) poker game, even though it's free.

Maybe that's the reason for his tilt (vitor), but as the levels advance, frerolls take the form of normal games.
Although most freerolls have this mentality of playing anyway, believe me... there have been freerolls that demanded much more from me than in paid games (of course with low buy-ins).

@vitord_9
But I believe that's what poker is about. Knowing how to deal with your frustrations will make you better regardless of whether you are frerroll or not.

Everything is in your hands. In freerolls, there will always be players who play with junk or play all hands in a row. However, this disadvantage of freerolls can become an advantage for you if you are patient and disciplined enough.

these are free tournaments friend why are you mad at fools who play any two maps and beat you just forget and know that they are bad players and everything's cool when there are a lot of bad players you earn money on them at distances especially since these are free tournaments you don't lose this is the most important thing if you're angry at a bad player then I don't know you need to be happy that he wanted to give you chips and he just couldn't do it

if you're playing a tourn and you see someone get upset after they lose a premium hand against a weaker hand and all of a sudden go all in with trash because they're upset or feel like they want the chips lost then just put it in the notes and wait until you see them next time in that same spot.

As someone mentioned, that's one of the signs of someone's "expectations" falling short and need a little more experience getting over those types of hands. Next time you're in that spot and can afford to make that call but you're not sure, it might be worth it to gamble since you know their issues.

I have thought that it is impossible to avoid it, it is difficult and frustrating because there are very bad days and it does not matter if you are with a super positive mentality, if you play like a pro, you simply cannot feel that there is progress or improvement in your game or in your luck, You just have to keep trying because that tilt will not be eternal

Freeroll tournaments are just that, especially at the beginning of tournaments. Many gamblers risk it all, with nothing in hand. It's part of that kind of game.
