Finally decided to try out pokerstars and see if i can build up starting from a small bankroll. I don't want to make a big deposit, so whatever i'll play there will be on micro limits initially.
What deposit bonus should i choose? first depositors one that gives access to the $100k freerolls or the micro millions free ticket one?
(how many entries do you get to the 100k one anyway? can i join them all for one month is it?)
The prize on those micro millions seems very attractive also but i figure the fields will be gigantic, in the other hand the freeroll ones already are gigantic too. can't decide what to choose therefore i'm open for opinions.

You get 31 days for the $100K freerolls, but just to let you know the fields are pretty high, usually around 15-20,000 people, i managed to win a few bucks off them but tough with that many people and the usual huge donk fest.

The deposit ones I found good value as there's 20,000 people playing and as they're a 30c rebuy, I'd double up once then see how things went. They're easy to cash in (if you just sit tight as they're riddled with idiots) and 1st is usually a decent amount. You can play in them all for a month so if you're looking to maximise the value, then the depositors FR is probably the best bet.
On the other hand, if you'd rather avoid complete mentalist behaviour and just have a decent shot at a bigger prize then maybe the MM would be your best bet.

Don’t think about the prize you can reach, think about the difficulties you will find in each field. Maybe with the $5.50 ticket you can mean to put aside lots of donks who use to play on the freerolls, so the game will be more honest for someone like you, who knows how to play MTT.

It really depends on what type of poker you are good at but i think i would opt for the 100k freerolls, still you need to expect some crazy plays there...
Anyways keep us posted on your evolution on pokerstars

Yes you have 31 days to use the 100k freerolls 4 times a day. And the micro millions are a verry nice tourney series with 100 games. Tomorro starts the micro series with a 0.11$ Rebuy-Tourney and 25.000$ are guaranteed. I deposited today 30$ for the 5,50$ Ticket and another 10$ for the 100k freerolls. But don´t forget to use the different codes!

That's actually a good idea.
Think that's settled then. If i wanted the free ticket for the micro millions series i had to deposit today but for the freerolls one i still have till May.

4 tournaments a day ,so if u compete in all 4 during the whole month, and try to reach itm without a rebuy you should be able to get the whole amount you have deposited back , however its very hard to reach the final table if you dont rebuy at all.
hugh field , lots of donk all inns , wich make it very hard to even reach itm, but if u manage to make 10k chips or more you should get in the money,

Try not to use the 100k freeroll there are so many people playing it ... An so many fishes try the regular bonus.. Too many people go all in there without givin a f'''..i hate poker stars freeroll only all in
U said it! But as you get further in the tournament things will cool down. I also hit many bad beats because some loser decides to go all-in with J4 or something out of position.
The 100K freerolls aren't my thing either, but the prizes are attractive and if you thrust to a big pile of chips early in the tournament you definitely have a chance.

there is no other deposit bonus except the first deponus and 100k freerolls , so if u make the second , or third , at least you get to play in the 100k freerolls , It's by far the biggest donk fest on the entire pokerstars , it's not even compared with regular freerolls , but still it's a chance to win some extra money.
