Don’t count me on this, I can’t do these type of things on week days. Sometimes I envy those who talk about doing these things, I always keep thinking “how can they spend their time on these activities, don’t they have regular jobs, don’t they study, is this already enough to give them a good wage for living without needing the help of anyone else?”. I know you’re just talking for one day and you’re even talking about playing a freeroll, which means that won’t give you enough to spend on the next hour, not thinking about how much you spend in a month, but I always think about this.

I'm coming across that attitude a lot on various forums and I just don't understand it. Do people not realise that it's owned and run solely by Stars now? Same software but a totally different company.
I earned enough Ftpoints on day 1 to get into these tournies and i plan to play every one that i can. i dont plan on play cash on ftp right now, not while its just the regs grinding anyway.
so the plan is to pull as much money out of these deal me in freerolls as i can then ship it over to stars for the micro millions tournaments coming up nov 15-25

The deal me in freerolls have some bizarre set up with 180 min registration............a long time to play fornsuch litle reward at the end, butbI guess its a way to increase your bank roll if you have nothing but takes a long time.

That is a true statement about how freerolls can definitely mess up your original game structure of playing. You've got to watch out in the Freerolls due to players playing reckless, careless and don't really give two poops about winning or losing. Some will keep going in every hand just to be annoying. I play a couple of them, but it's just a gig that's hard to develop any skills at. Good Luck though!

i don't find them any different to other freerolls- doesn't matter what skin are we talking about, a freeroll's a freeroll, so same gameplay is always round the corner- all in regs are here to stay, i find freerolls a half decent when blinds go up, less players remain- and the most important thing "people actually start believing they can get some cash out of this tourney" that's when the normal poker begins

to build up a bankroll from freerolls is hard, especially when your playing on the big sites.
There are always a lot of players and the priize money is rather small. (50 $ for 2000 or more entrants)
I only play freerolls on terminal poker --> fast tourneys (like rush poker) whicjh last about 1 to max 2 hours. (prices are 5 up to 10 euro) and the entrants are less than 300, there is also a daily 75 euro freeroll (only you need 10 raked hands in 24 hours) , so I try to collect these with my winnings in the freerolls and play that freeroll to.
These figures make it more profitable and takes less hours

There used to be some sites where you could build a bankroll in no time from freerolls. Few players with good prizes. Nowadays such freerolls are rare. Most of the private freerolls have good payouts.
