Got a ticket for the weekly 2 freeroll on Pokerstars. Went into that hubbles no limit freeroll and hit about 90k chips and sat out and went to bed with 450 people left. I placed 59th giving me a ticket.

I guess its not a big deal winning a ticket for this (dont know how many entrants it gets though, every time). Now you have to use that ticket and win some money. Thats something that worth the posting Good luck.

Congratz for your ticket! I've managed to win one too in the beginning of the year and still didn't spent it... Kinda forgot about it till last week but then i saw that the tournament for sunday way 7stud or whatever and i didn't feel like learning a new game altogether so decided to wait. This sunday it's limit holdem so maybe i'll give it a try finally. Usually it's around 2 or 3k entrants so it should be a bit easier getting itm. Gl for whenever you decide to use yours mate!

I find it easier to win round 2 tickets by playing the PLO, Mixed Pot Limit Hold'em/PLO, Fixed Limit or Stud over the Hubble's. If you can get to around 55-60k you can sit out and not worry about Ante's.
Also in regards to the Round 2's, why aren't the times the same time for Saturday and Sunday? Why is Saturday the only NLH where Sunday is always random? I don't like getting up at 7:00am PST on a Saturday, I can't function that well that early.
i actually never get ticket on hubble's XD only hawkings fl or 2-7 triple or singled draw fl or no limit and horse i mostly get pretty far or 8 game its funny because some people actually only knwo holdem and omaha and dont know what there doing last in 2-7 i had 2 3 4 5 7 guy raises all in ofc i call lol he shows kkAAJ O.o xD anyway congratz dude those tourneys take a long time

It can be tough winning a ticket playing the Hubbles.... It's a LONG way to go, and a good four hours + to get one,....so you gotta make good in the Weekly Round 2,...which ALSO are long games and a wee bit of a challenge to get in the cash. But once you're in the cash, the pay-out levels rise fairly quick.

Well done on this major achievement. The Hubbles are a serious slog for not the biggest outcome unless you make the money in the weeklies...so, give it a good go, but dont think youll be able to snooze off to win in the weeklies!!!!

I am not too bad at MTT's. I lose my winnings on cash tables to donks. My bankroll is depleted now so any shot at money I play my best and hope the fishes don't get lucky.
I got lucky the last hand I played, I went all in with 22k chips and 4 callers, I had something like 6/7 suited and rivered a 6, everyone else had face cards, had a straight draw off the flop though.
