well as the heading says i reached my first final table in the BRM freerolls on full tilt. i eventually finished 3 / 1015 and boy are they getting harder,i played in a couple last week and they only had about 400 runners now it's over 1,000 ! i nearly never got there as i was sitting in 12 / 20 and only on 40,000 in chips but then got some help. russian bloke who had just shoved twice and not got called (he was chip leader with 350,000 ) goes all-in again,well i've got a-q off in sb and i was going to push anyway,so i called him, 6-3o he had and a nice dounle up for me.The very next hand he does it again i've got a-j so i call a-9 he shows this time and another double up i win another few more hands and get to the ft,i was actually in the lead when there was 5 of us left, (see photo) but ended up 3rd for $2.60 and some good leaderboard points so i am moving up now hopefully i can get in the top 200 or higher.

Very nice going!!!
You don't have to 'hope' to get in the top 200,....that win PUTS you there. As the board sits right now,....you own 97th spot...but that will surely change by the next update... You'll likely stay up pretty high though after the update....Definately still up there....

That they are I meant to say earlier.... Not because of the number of entrants though I figure,....but because of the number of facebook freerollin' bingo queen flakes playing them now...
In the first week when they started,...the games were good, and folks were playing proper poker... Now in most of the games I play,....3 or 4 idiots all going all in off the start,...and mostly with junk...
I was in one that was particularly bad today,....so I told them to go back to PokerStars and play their bingo over there... Suddenly some other guy not invloved starts bad-mouthing me. So I told him to get lost and his reply was..." OH YA, TRY AND REMOVE ME YOU CUNT "
You have to wonder wtf's wrong with these people's heads... Are they there to play poker,...or just be total jerks while hiding in obscurity....
...and the guy claimed to be a member here
Full Tilt username: mcfc_blue777
BrM Username: blue_77 or something very close to that.
So just because they are a member here, by no means does that mean they are good folks...
Even still,....FT/BrM tourneys are NO where near as bad as those freak shows on PokerStars......YET....

Nice one!
Good to see more people I know from the forum appearing on the leaderboard. Back when there were BRM freerolls on Party Poker, I hardly ever saw anyone from here.
It's a shame I can't play as many of them as I would like; I only do one or two a day (the first three are too early, and the last one too late).
I've noticed the increase in players also, and the level is dropping (as well as my own level playing them unfortunately)...

Grats to you, very well done. Its getting much harder to make the FT now. I also made 1 FT so far, but went out in 6th position. For me its the same situation like marqis. I am only able to play 1 or 2 a day, because of work.

Congrats for this FT mr teddybears73 hope you'll finish deep next time, not for that $1 or $2 plus but if you will win one or two of this freeroll i think you'll finish on top for laderboards, good luck and wait the next FT.

aye i know what you are saying there marqis, it's getting to be like the ones on stars and you just end up being like them,that's why i stopped playing in the stars ones.

Congratulations man, yeah more and more players joining, what can you do?
Nothing IMO, just keep studying and adapt that's what we are left to do. I never final table the freeroll, best I did was came 24th but I had to go earlier, had a 30k stack on the table anyway, its tough to win it.
