Yeah it sure did work out pretty darn good. It is a shame I didn't get one space higher that would've been worth $200 more. I'd play these all day if only I could. Although it get me thinking there may be more opportunities like it at the smaller sites. Good luck bargain hunting guys.

You definately know how to hunt awesome poker offers and promotions my friend, i actually looked myself lately for some good poker offers, and i could only find good first deposit bonuses and excellent rakeback offers(up to 50% actually) but no offer had such an freeroll promotion
I guess you were really lucky to find this offer, and good luck that it wasn't ver advertised, and i agree with you, probably you should have played a bit more tight, and try to get a higher place, with less risks and a bigger prize
The good part is that after you create a bankroll on that poker platform you can withdraw them and invest them in another poker platform and get the first deposit bonus, so you can double them pretty quickly, but make sure to choose a site on which you can earn fast vip points

Thanks again for your kind and encouraging words. Honestly I just stumbled upon and I couldn't believe that the offer was so unpopulated. It was an amazing boost and really exciting, still wish I had gotten to enjoy the money fight more.
I guess Cake being a small network is probably what contributed. I know BRM is having a $5000 free roll coming up for new 888 players (i imagine there will be a larger number of people in that one though).

You are absolutely right, and i'm sure many of the participants will not even be bankrollmob members, i mean especially russian players that will find the password to that 888pokerfreeroll and join the action...
I don't have an account on 888poker but i don't think i'll do an account for this freeroll since i'm sure there will be a lot of participants and many will flipp at the beginning to build a good stack, in fact this strategy is frequently known among freeroll players....
I would be more tempted to join a smaller poker platform, for example one of the cake poker platforms and take advantage of a similar promotion as you did, i think it will bring a lot more Good luck and keep us posted with your evolution!
