Yesterday i played in the BankrollMob freeroll at Nutspoker and i classified 27th, winning $1,87. Ok, so it was not much, but the game was very interesting. After two hours of game, i was with 7.500 chips and posicion 23, and there were only 31 in the field, for 30 payed places. I got AK but i wanted to get a prize, so i played really bad that hand. Made a call, only one guy bet 1.500 and i call. Flop 5A8. I was good but checked, scared of what it could happen if i went all in (could end my game in 31st place and dont receive any prize). Turn J, and never passed through my head what he could have, so i checked and he again bet 1.500. Once again i call and the river brought 4. I check, he bet more 1.500, i call and he showed me 23. How hard can that be? He had 21K chips from the start, but the fault of this was all mine. So i kept only about 1.500 chips till another good hand to go all in. After a few hands i got 99 and the most hilarious thing happened. The same guy was the only one who payed to see my game. Flop 555, turn 4, river 5, and he took the rest of my stack with high card 10. He had 10 10 in his hand! By the way, how are you in terms of BRM freerolls?

I know what u mean i did the exact same thing yesterday in a tourny not a freeroll but same thing happened, played the hand scared, never shipped it when i should have lost about 10k in chips and well it was a slippery slope from then on. Was kicking myself after thinking why the hell did i not just ship it in on the flop guy would have folded and i would of had a nice stack
ive only played 3 BRM freerolls on noble and got donked prob with in the first 10 hands of all 3 so i just never played them again

What is Nutspoker? Ive never heard of it . So far I havrnt played any of BRM freerolls - just dont have time for them atm - the time isnt quite what Id like it to be. But hopefully in future I can play them.
I've won the one on fulltilt once and cashed a few times more. I only play 2 or 5 dollar touraments when i buy in my self so it's not that different spending the time playing freeroll or paying myself

I've played the Full Tilt one lately. 1st a couple of weeks back, 3rd the week before. Was going well. Was a real boost to my bankroll! Tried the Noble one a couple of times, but donked out fairly fast. I'll play that one on Noble Monday for sure! And maybe FT on Saturday, but I have some other tourneys then, I think. Need some cash on Noble (even a dollar or two) because my bankroll has dwindled to scraps. Just can't seem to get things right on Noble and am having a hard time just winning a low limit S&G. Why????

i have played only one on bigbet and got donked in that one i cant play most of them as they are pretty late for me or i hav my account tracked to some other site
Bad hand, you had to reraise ( x3 at least but I think x4 would have been better ) and raise hard after flop; you took too many risks and if you decide to slowplay I think it's better to have a top pair

Winning freerolls takes time and practise. As you play along you will discover how to play it right in ordee to get in the ITM. So practise and see you at the tables.
