...... BankrollMob Tournaments for being undisputedly:
The TOUGHEST games to get into the money...
Hubble tourney can be tough too,....but they don't qualify here because the PRIZE is for games with money winnings...
Out of ALL the games I tend to play,....all NLHE....BrM takes the cake...
For example last week I played and got into the money:
4 out of 5 of The Big $4.40
3 out of 5 of the $1.10 at 6:00pm Eastern
4 out of 5 of The Big $2.20
Totally bombed 0 of 2 of the $1.10 at 11:00am Eastern
Only took money in 1 of 4 games in the $2.75 at 5:00pm Eastern
Still,...not bad...pretty good actually as long as the bank account keeps climbing in the long run...
BUT,....out of the 35 BrM tourneys I played last week,....I ONLY got into the cash about 3 or 4 times.....and only about .05c and .06c 3 times,....and .26c once....
Granted,.....you only get paid for the top 117,....and THAT can be tough in a field of 6,000 to 7,000 entrants,....or late at night the field is only about 2,000 to 2,400,...but still....because of the small number of paying positions,...and all the GDF'n Bingo Queen Donk COCKROACHES you have to get past....I figure it is THE TOUGHEST game to win in....

Lol nice one, BTW Admin: I love a walk in the park... Nevertheless, you are absolutely right, its very hard to get itm in these BRM games at Pokerstars. The interesting thing is the leadeboard. But I don´t have the time to play enough tourneys.

Hey, you are welcome my friend,....
...I too like walking in the park,.... but THAT can be two totally different things depending on which time of the day you take the walk....
...a nice stroll through on a warm sunny Sunday afternoon is ONE thing,... BUT,....strolling through that same park at 2:00am might be a TOTALLY different thing when all the junkies, pimps, crack-whores, dope dealers, gangs, and donk bingo queen poker playing cockroaches take over....

I must admit I totally agree with you. I managed to get into the later stages of the tourney today. The 14.00 tourney. I was all of a sudden on the same table as Bullettooth, (a active member of the forum), and someone I could speak to then along came pocket Aces. Out next hand!! Normal crap, but it is very difficult to get into the money, let alone onto the leader board.................

i guess it's a normal thing that those tourneys are a lot harder to cash than the regular paid ones- it's a freeroll don't forget..so really u have to compare them only with other freerolls of a similar field of entrants. imo all of the big field freerolls are a total waste of time & luck has to be riding your boner constantly throughout the tourney...

That's really hard to believe it's gotten this way. I remember when I used to log on before work and register inthe BRM Freerolls. I'd get to play a few hands before work and if I was lucky enough to reach 5000 to 7000 chips before I left for work I could come home and see how much I won. Not a lot and of course not a top 10, but I'd win money by sitting out the remainder of the game.
That's all changed ay??? Good Luck! Still wish I could play!

I have an easy sollution to the freeroll problem. It's called stop wasting your fucking time playing freerolls. Seriously, I just don't GET how people think it's worth playing them. Most of the time, you play for 5-6 hours, and 1st place is a whopping $5. Seriously, even if you win 1st EVERY time, you're at best making $1 an hr. You could make more flipping burgers at mcdonalds. Hell, even walking around a busy area, picking up the pennies and nickles people drop would probably be more profitable.
Really, you have no one to blame but yourself. If you want to waste your time, then do so, just don't complain about it.

GL to all of you....................
Hey Marc I didn't notice you on my table. Did you go out the first hand you got on there? I ended up finishing around 200 and something. What's your name on there? I'll keep an eye out for ya
------------ Yeah I would definitely Agree that they are pretty hard to cash in!

But if we don't waste our time complaining about the bingo queens and donks on the freerolls then you won't have anything to do to wast your time and then you might grab a clue a get a life.
Seriously, many good solutions have been proposed to turn the BRM freeroll into something worth playing but the administrators have determined that potentially having to deal with people complaining about a small delay in being able to play on the freerolls will result in the implosion of the universe so they opt to deal with the constant complaints of the current state of play in the freerolls instead.

Or maybe they just don't care enough to do anything about it. Serious, you think it's worth their time, effort and money to implement added security, just so a few whiners will be happy? I hardly doubt it's worth their time. But hey, keep wasting your time crying about something that will never change Meanwhile, us big boys will keep playing REAL poker for REAL money, not pennies and nickles.

....so don't waste your valuable time....
Actually, we get paid 10 points per post, so it's not really a waste of my time, and it's fun to troll whiners.

Just keep in mind that pokerstars is the biggest pokersite and that means that there are far the most moneysearchers --> people who only play freerolls and hope to win
Not that I have a problem with that but a lot of them is playing like donks and the problem is if there are to much of them you will loose versus some of them....

Well yeah, 6k - 7k entrants is pretty high amount. And only 117 top players get paid. Well the thing is that if you're doing well, your bank acc doubles if you get to the top 117 in a freeroll as brm realeses points for every place in top 117 I guess there is more then 100 freerolls played per month so you should add something to your account if you have a lil bit of skill and luck ofcourse

If you have money and knowledge is useless to play this freeroll with total of prizes 25$.If you are bankrupt you need to cross the desert of freerolls to gain the money.Everyone has a different value for his time.Good luck

Finally i find someone that agrees with me in what matters to the difficulty of a freeroll, and specifically about the BRM. This is extreme gaming! If anyone can help, I have a challenge: pick a pro, a really good player, and put him playing this tourneys, let’s see how he handles… I know we have leaderboards, and there we can find lots of regular winners at these tourneys, but they deserve our recognition besides the BRM prizes! You guys are good at MTT! And you are also good in the games you play demodawggy!!!

***"Actually",....you've confirmed it in my mind that you are an idiot....
"Big boys"....lol... "You call yourself a 'boy'....
"Actually",...judging by your avatar pic,....you are NOT a boy,....but rather somebody confused about their gender,....looks like you're only half way through your trans-gender operation converting to a female...
First you say playing for little pots is a waste of time and I'd make better money at McDonalds, then you say playing for nickles and dimes is a waste of time too,....THEN you say YOU are not wasting your time posting here,....because each of your posts is worth 10 points,...
lol... well,....at 10 points per post,....and you don't ALWAYS get the 10 points,....it'll take forever to accumulate enough points for a cashout...
So you see moron,....you are a walking and talking (babbling 'actually') contradiction, both visually and in what you say....and you think mighty highly of yourself. But to me,....YOU are just another idiot...
You're probably just frustrated because in life, YOU've never gotten any further than working at the grill at McDonalds....
...as a matter of fact,...I won't even give you that,....I figure THAT requires at least SOME intelligence, and even taking orders there and handling money requires some TOO,.... so I believe your position at McDonalds is merely being the 'French Fry Girl'...
No whiner here either idiot,....that's another contradiction with you,....YOU are the one whining,...not me...
This thread has nothing to do with complaining or whining about the BrM freeroll,....it IS though ALL about commenting on how hard they are to win compared to other types of games....
....and if you actually took the time to read my post,...you'd see I play a VARIETY of games and buy-ins,...and I didn't even mention the $11 or $27 buy-ins I've played...
One other thing fool,.... I see you are SO impatient to 'whine' about me and my thread,....that you just type it all out so fast, that your grammar has a lot to be said for,....But then again,....your being the 'French Fry Girl' at McDonalds tells me that you probably flunked grade 6 English class...and never got past grade 9...
