... < Okay,...so I've been sittin' and spinnin' for days now,....and in about 40 or more of those games I've not gotten past the first round in about 35,....2nd in about 3,...and only in 2 did I go 3 or deeper...!
... < You'd think in a head's up situation I get past round 1 about 1/2 the time...
... < Anybody cash in any of those...?

and they are ofering 64 ticket that are worth 0,50$ or in total 32$... there are 24 per day those are worth 748$... they had 4x 1k+ freerols (100k privilage) that is 4k and I think that is a lot bigger than 748$ xD

well what StheP is saying here makes a lot of sense- but still as with everything in life you can look at the same situation from different views... you can say- fcuk em stars, they r screwing us regular degens, no more free moola... or you can think, hey dudes at stars are giving wayyy less money for free this year... but hey- they are still giving dollaros out of their pocket for absolutely nothing... free cash!!!
btw StheP- i do understand your frustration about this crappy situation... still one thing you should have expected is the chance that stars will eventually change sth... (like they did this year) and those changes might not be great for the players... that's just how it rolls- life is sometimes unfair, but there's no real point joining national association of left ball shaved dudes and go on a strike... just give em a polite fcuk u and roll on...

spin and go giveaways all in shootouts are all just like a lottery hard to win anyone can play 100s and still lose they pay too few places still good to try since its free and see if its your time to win its too bad stars took away alot of their freeroll promos will be hard to make money starting from nothing in 2016 but thats the way it goes I guess oh well

Of cause one can play hundreds of those without winning. 64 tickets and often around 20.000 players, makes one ticket for every 300-400 player. Good luck with those tourneys, players will need it.

... < Wow,...for the number of these I've registered in,...i am having EXTREMELY bad luck...in this way...: In a head's up situation over a large number of game,...you would expect to win the 'hand' approximately 50% of the time... I have played about 100 or more and have gotten knocked out first hand about 80%+,...and maybe have gotten past the 2nd round about 1/2 dozen times... < ...and not one ticket to show for it...

It is quite obvious, that you have to do some serious work on your coin flipping skills. Playing a few thousand more of these lottery type tourneys should do the trick. Or calling Stars support team, and asking for a winning account.

My best result so far was a place 141 finish. And i had to dodge some bullets on the way. The format is total crap. But it is for free, so one can`t really complain about it. And remember: Poker is a skill game.
