its free money out there and there may be some players who are not on the BRM website but they cannot be on the leaderboard then. If you registered here, you can be on the l;eaderboard. If they play like donks, adapt by playing tight and if they beats you with 72o against your AA. laugh it off and play the next one?

Pokerstars turbo freerolls are truly waste of time. Poker been played only at final table or even not. Fulltilt's freerolls are more balanced,money can be approached fairly easily but cockroaches are there too. The changes needed to be done around leaderboard should eliminate from points all the non members and give points only to members. Prizes of first and second place can be crucial to the final standings of leaderboard(notice I am talking about points not money of tourney since nothing can be done).So why I have to face lets say 3 opponents at final table who does not give a damn about final leaderboard standings and I have to think of this?

The good part that many seem to ignore is that bankrollmob is so much more than those freerolls.
For every country they have multiple no deposit and deposit offers so even players that start from zero have a chance to build up a br without playing freerolls.

Posted by demodawggy: Even if it's ONLY so little as 1% chance,...you will NEVER know WHEN that 1% will go good for you or bad for you,... That turns that 1% chance into 100% chance... It's not a matter of opinion,....it's fact.
This is pretty much the same as saying " The odds of winning in a lottery are 50/50 : you either win or you don't " ... it's ignoring the probability and relying on some kind of destiny/faith or something .... so basically you two were talking about different things ..
(sorry if this doesn't sound right I couldn't really figure out how to turn my thinking into english and into text )
And also by thinking like that, you could explain pretty much every possible incident by saying it was just a matter of luck.

Poker dude.... is a game of CHANCE.... Look up the definition of the word 'chance'...
What part of the phrase ' Game of Chance' do some folks not understand...?

ahhhh the good old brm freerolls, you have to bow low to brm for giving away free money day in and day out, surely they are printing money in some secret basement somewhere in Malta. can't recall when was the last time i played those, but look at the figures- there are plenty of takers. no point in whining, since no one is forcing one to play. and it's not like brm are looking for any suggestions on improving the scheme as well.
