congratulations second place is veery very nice. I give up this leaderboard session on pokerstars. Its really tough and you need to be lucky to get on final table and win more cents/dollars to get in maybe next session, but I am definitively bigger fan of unnibet leaderboard

Congrats on the 2nd place finish in the Freeroll. To stay afloat in Freerolls is generally tough since the play is so unpredictable. That's what frustrating in most freerolls, you can lose any time to about any hand imaginable, but the challenge is still part of the sport.

Good Day Everyone .. Congratulations on your second place Yeah Pokerstars freerolls are a bit hard to crack !!
I play the brm freeroll when ever i can !!! but it gets filled with donks , at the start there is an all in fest !! followed by some sick call fest so if we pass all these stages we can play a bit of quality play !!
I wish i could win it once Happy new year Everyone Good luck at the tables

Congrats on 2nd - best I have done in a "big" tourney is 10th.
The BRM PokerStars Freeroll is hard for me to cash. I had better luck earning the Round 2 tickets then cashing in those.
Once I built up my "free" bankroll from placing in Round 2 and PSO freerolls, now enjoying the $0.25 90 player SNGs, finished 1st twice and 2nd once. 3-4 other times crashed and burned around 20-30th. Usually these last about 3 hours.
Only tried the 45 $0.25 SNG twice but not feeling it. Also the $0.02 Hyper and $0.10 Turbo tourneys, although cheap, don't suit my style - way too fast. When a $0.10 tourney with added money comes around then I pony up.
