Congrats on your performance , haven't really tried them , think it's too much of a nuisance , first you have to win a ticket with a huge field of players , then you struggle to win some $ with a huge field , but then again if you're broke it;s a good opportunity.

Congrats. But ...are you sure that's good way for you ? play freeroll, 5 hours and $15 ! I know you win several time on hero. I mean you capable to win bigger prize at buy in MTT, so why play freeroll. Just suggestion, don't misunderstanding

thanks Serpang, what i do is i have the freerolls sort of in the background as i am playing,you know to give me some thing to do while waiting for people to bet or whatever in the tourneys i am playing plus there is always the chance i might run deep in one of them or even win,it all helps the br after all. i am not one of those guys who play with hundreds of dollars so every bit helps me. maybe when i win the daily dollar i will stop playing the freerolls infact i know i will. gl at the tables
won two tickets so far...haven't tried the 1k yet. Might try playing it the way you are. when I saw the size the field it put me off. Congrats on your cash, I figured it would take 5-6 hours to get there and wasn't in the mood for it.

Congratulations, you must be proud of you but if you played a MTT with buy-in even of $10 i think you was very happy with a win of few hundred $ btw, is good with that $15 you can start playing Sng of $1 ... play 100 SnG of $1/ day and profit will be huge... invest $100 and win $1000 wish you luck and wait for the next result

I haveplayed these reg since i joined f tilt, esp when im waiting for a tournee, i get my ticket early as i crank it up quickly and sit out for awhile amd then go back at goodspot and play ABC poker. i have 3 tickets which don't expire till for long time, so if theres 52 weeks in the year you can easily make 52 over 3 mths if u want to play every week rd 2, i have cashed approx 300 bukz from over a few yrs alo i never made f t yet tho one of my targets for 2013 ..gg all gl

Well nice result.
If you play freerolls you should not calculate what your winnings are pro hour...
Especially when you playing second rounds.
I also see poker as a hobby and are happy when I get some good results once in a while. I Have never made a deposit on any pokersite but still have some accounts with money which I got from playing with NDP and freerolls.
then again they are free so maybe 
btw, is good with that $15 you can start playing Sng of $1 ... play 100 SnG of $1/ day and profit will be huge... invest $100 and win $1000
