It's that time of the year again and the Hallow-win freerolls are back on 888. Everyone should have at least one free ticket so far. Let's use this thread for story's and updates for people playing these again.
Only got one ticket myself so hopefully I can do well in tonights one. Anyone else game for tonight's?

I managed one top 1000 finish last year. I only have one ticket so I need to make this one count. I have not reached any in the moneys this last few weeks on 888 so maybe my luck can change tonight.

It appears we are not experiencing good times at 888 at the moment for a variety of reasons. I haven't played there for a few weeks and couldn't log in last night and had other things to do tonight so will try my hallow win ticket tomorrow.

Well, I played last night, bit of a late entry a few minutes before the start and was 2500th out of 2500 when I won a four handed pot which saved my bacon. I eventually worked my way up to 750 th and winnings of $5. An enjoyable game but could have done better.

Nice. I have been awful at poker lately, and atm am currently just low stakes grinding. Funnily enough my worst game, cash, is what is saving me. My best game, MTT's, has deserted me and I cant win a hand.
First step, I have acknowledged it is my s**t play.
Next step, look at some hands and work out what I am doing so wrong.
Man I can ramble, I only started this post to say I got another three tickets for another deposit, so means I can play every game!

G'day mates
I do seem to recall getting an email about having received a free ticket to play in one of those tournaments on 888. Personally never looked into playing it though because whenever I log onto that site the tournaments I want to play never seem to be running at convenient times for me. Wishing you all the best be cool
