... < I'm in that,...but I'd NEVER publish a pass to a lucrative freebie like that mikeydude...! Why wreck it for yourself...! Maybe edit that out before too many folks see it...! You'd be surprized just HOW many folks miss these...! All the more $$$ for you and I...!!!

... < True,...3500 max,....BUT,....those lucrative freerolls in the restricted list rarely get up above 500 - 700 entrants on a GOOD day...! Many of them don't get up above 300 - 400 folks...!
... < Unless it involves some sort of tiny token buy in,...or a rebuy and ad on where it's no longer 'absolutely' free,....I keep it to myself. The odd time though, I have bumped into the occassional Mobbit...!
... < Sgt. Schultz says it in a nutshell,...or a nazi helmet,...either either (ee ay) nutshell/nazi helmet,...same thing I guess if ya get the metaphor....lol...

I share your frustrations guys, even though I haven't been able to lay this game for a few days. However, on the positive side for BRM, it gets them more xposure and hopefully more members which means more prizes altogether cos they can negotiate better promotions. I really dislike people who share passwords when specifically asked not to though! Good luck at the tables and hope to catch you there soon.

... < It's not a password to a BrM freeroll my friend...!
Went out early last 2 tries. First one I had AJ, 3bet someone who called my bet. Turned nut flush draw + straight draw with the J, kept betting hard and shoved the turn, somehow vilain had KJ (air) and made stronger straight on the river
Second one I just gambled early cause I didn't really feel like playing. Flopped 2 pairs with my beautiful 104 of hearts but villain caught his K and made stronger 2 pair.
Forgot to play the freeroll yesterday, and today I went out early again due to russian lady thinking her pair of 7 on the flop was good against my QQ, and hitting 2 pair on the river after trapping herself on the flop
I'm not sure if I can take these games seriously since they take a while due to the structure. But I like leaderboards so I'll keep trying. Hopefully the leaderboard will make the time invested worth it

Once the donks are out of the game, its pretty much a smooth sailing from there, u know the other players on the table know what a 3bet is I ran deep as usual was 10th to 18th the entire time, and when 54 or something players were left i got my AA for the first time in this game, opened with 3BB, a guy in mid position reraised to 5BB, then a third guy in late position pushed allin, now, we were some what same staked, so who ever got the pot was going to be the chip leader, i pushed all in, the mid position guy also shoved, we open, i had the best hand by far, i was against KJ and QQ, so the flop came K3J, the turn a 10, i was begging for a Q but instead a 9 came on the river and the guy with the QQ won So there u go, sometimes there is just nothing u can do about it

Not 'sometimes' for me, but 'most of the time' I just won sometimes Sometimes I think maybe play slot is better, just hope sit at the right table and click..click....no need think to much

You never know in such freerolls when the donks are out. Pretty sure that in every final table there are a few of them and many tournaments have been won by them. You cant beat that Its just the way the game is.
Playing it right now. Got lucky to double up on first hand after late registering. I 3bet shove my A10 got called by AQ and hit my 10.
But like Phil Hellmuth says, agressive mistakes are no big deal because atleast you were trying to win the hand. Passive mistakes on the other hand are major leaks. I just saw a player call 2k (blinds 400) raises pre flop 2 hands in a row and then fold on the flop. With only 8000 chips... result is he lost half his stack just to see 2 flops. Don't do this at home lol.

Went out tonight around 70th after a gat start but distracted by family stuff...... Really I lost out to my AA v 78 with a flop of 456 and never recovered really, mainly due to loss of interest and other distractions. Good luck to the rest of y'all playing this game....... Confused by demo commenting re no password! LOL
I have yet to cash in one of these donkfests when the tourney starts usually around eighty entrants then I don't get what's up with all the late registration to long should be ten minutes max on the brighter side of things this post will be for ten points and my 3rd cash out from Bankroll Mob ;
