It's not mandatory but if it makes you feel comfortable go ahead.
Some lady poker player won something so they are doing a freeroll for her win, and everyone is invited but up to 8000 people. Last time I checked it was 7200 registered so it's going to be a long freeroll.

Freerolls are not that great for me either, I always seem to never win enough chips and go out well before the bubble most times. Especially with idiots. Just watched someones QQ get cracked by some Romanians J9s.

I have always struggled with 888 too actually, just think the site hates me or the players just luck out too much.
Unlucky would have liked to play against you at some point. Just gone through a good patch myself jumping up to just over 3000 odd chips, but the blinds are getting big now and too fast for me so may need to double up quick soon if I have to. 2500 people left so just need to hold on.

I'm out. Such a joke this site is, I never win any turn all ins even when I have decent enough odds to do it. Had a gutshot straight draw and a flush draw but of course the massive Russian chip leader on the table has to hit a fullhouse, as well as some nob OOP went all in with A8 and hit trip 8's. I had half my chips in so I had no choice, but players with massive chips over everyone always seem to hit luck and beat people with legitimate hands especially when OOP.
Maybe one day I will be able to actually play a freeroll and have enough chips to survive and play longer instead of this constant all in bull crap everyone seems to love and always win.

Which sites do you mainly use now? I lost too much at 888 and don't like the constant donks at fishes so I usually just play at Ladbrokes now as I can actually make money there if I dont veer off from my BRM.

Mmmmmmmmmm..... I would have thought the 'First Lady of Poker' would have been Doyle Brunson's geriatric honey,....but I guess I'd be wrong! Instead it's just some arbitrary chick who won a few bucks according to 888...!
Lucky Chinese number 8,...I guess that's why it might be called 888Poker! Is it owned by Chinese...?
Too bad ya got doinked out Phizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzix...!

Always tomorrow night for us anyway.
Phisix...consider this..... you know (or feel) that the big chip leaders will beat you all in! Why go all in then? Modify your game and do something different to compensate for that.
ANyways..I registered for this game and some stupid pathetic boss caused me to stay late at work for no reason but to cover their ass and as I got home I was eliminated. Elimination! Now there's a thought!
