We forgot to chat about the gamblers in poker, but the still alive! For a week I was studying, and so I had less time to play. When I was tired I try to found some free tourney and I started to play some Big Fish freeroll. There I remember our dear gamblers, making rebuys once and again only for make an all in and lost it!!

It's not so easy to win tickets for big fish tournaments. You can many rebuys, i think it's unlimited at all and 3 add-ons. After that you can lose all stack, because the blinds grow even at 50 k with 100 k or more. The easiest is for $5.50 but if you play often, you can also win $16.50 or $33 tickets.

Yes, the prizes are a good attraction, but on the edge, you couldn`t continue making rebuys or add-on, because if you buy the ticket it is more cheap than it. So, we return to talk about the rare gamblers that prefer to waste their money without any sense. Did they learn mathematics sometime in their life?

I do not know how it works to buying tickets. I do not have this possibility and i must to play these satellites. Today i won $5.50 and $16.50 tickets. It's very good to make rebuy or add-on to the first satellite. For the second satellit rebuy is more expensive and it's not worth the effort, except for $5.50 because is only 50 cents with 3 rebuy maximum.

You don´t know or you can't do it? This option is banned in your country? I think that you know (you are an associate of 888poker for a long while) that in the same window that you can see the points that are accumulated to poker club, there is a button called Redeem that allow you to change the golden chips for different things, including tickets

I know how to use it but as i said before: few freerolls are restricted in my country like BRM freerolls, 1500, 6000, or 12.000 dollars freerolls. I do not see these tickets because not exist in my country. There is no such thing. The last time i changed 2000 gold chips for $20 .

I do not know if this is allowed, but I'll mention it anyway. Although I have not tried it in 888, if I tried it in PS. Like you, Calicul, I can not access those tickets (directly because I can not access the wheel of fortune offered by 888). In PS I can not access sports betting or the casino. Until they told me the tip, to change the VPN (Virtual Private Network) and since I did it I could play bie in PS. I would have to test it at 888. But I imagine it can work.

But, my dear friend, you can redeem to tickets for $ 10000 Royal Crown freeroll that you was played several times (the last you won $25 and we congrats you). By the way, 2000 golden chips may buy 200 tickets so, if you will win something about $5 in average, you are losing money!!! And ligador37 ...welcome again!

You can access the wheel of fortune, if it is not restricted in your country. If it is allowed, then you have to play with real money and she will go to play once per day. If you do not play with real money, she does not offer a prize in every day because 888 must to gain some money from each player.

I know it my friend, but I asked about the redeeming matter. You have won thousand of points in 888poker and I am really surprised about you can´t change it for tickets to this good tournament, where you have won several times. It´s not fair! You could make hundreds of bucks and spend a good time with those!

Posted by maragatero: Hi, recently in another thread we was discused about the diference between betting's player and poker's player. Some of us said that poker it's a game that have a mathematic base (probabilities, for example) and need some habilities an experience that it become in something diferent of the bettings. Another guys said that, in internet playing you can open multitabling and then it become in betting game (I don't think so). But yesterday I found a player that have a betting profile. He had 740 chips and arrive the add on time, he buyed 6000 chips for $2. They were left 890 players, with this buy he become 330 position, but he need to arrive in 10 position for win $ 2,10 (???). Have no sense!
YEYE mate remember poker and online poker are 2 diffrent games hard to trust matematic bases when soft is dealing hands u dont even see the card deck xd, if you are an real poker player then u will feel this amazing difference... and im not talking about reading of u opponents emotions etc

This is not a problem for me as long as i have managed to win those tickets very often. Today i played in the tournament and i won 4 dollars, but a villain he won twice with me in two hands but not one after the other. Me AK vs Q3 and flop 3 and after few haands me A 7 diamonds and this villain again with poor cards Q7 and flop Q river Q. Because of him i lost 73,000 chips and a good oportunity for more money.

Yes WithdrawAll, live poker, and poker online are two different games for a lot of reason. You couldn´t play in 4/8 tables or play in a nude mode, but certainly you could be more socially in live poker! About the soft...in something we have to believe! And CALICUL my friend, you have to accept the variance in the tournaments, too many people too much variance!
Today in my game of poker I played very badly at 888poker in the tournament 40 level 50 level 60 level casino mix tournaments and nowhere I emphasize nowhere I could not win a single penny This is very sad, usually Saturday brings me a profit but not this time In half an hour the last tournament for today Royal Crown see what will be there

I can not accept that because Q 3 and Q 7 there are no cards to play them all in. This player is very favored of software of 888poker probably. I don't know my friend, but he won 22 dollars because of these cards and me only 4 with A K, A7 and this is not poker is pure bingo. Q 3 and Q 7 is poor cards.

I understand my friend, always is a bad thing lost against a weak hand. But, as you know, if you are in Push or Fold mode (less than 12 BB), and you are in final position or in the blinds, QJ - Q2 suited is technical fine for all in. Surely, this is not the case and the villain make a move with any two and only had luck
and the last tournament yesterday I also finished without winning a very sad day How much easier today today, too, even though there were not too many tournaments and did not win anything very strange. Usually I have a profit with 888poker every day at least a small

Yesterday and today i played few games with my tickets and i lost with AA, AA, KK. Good job for other players. Very interesting, but here is not bad luck, is something else... As i said in the other day: I earn money in freerolls, but with tickets or real money very rarely. Yesterday i played for level 60. From 7500 players i finished in 6th place with 72 dollars. When it comes to more money the software does not help me. I think i will send an email, again because is bizarre. I can not explain but if i make a video to see it, you will see the truth.

Congratulations CALICUL, $72 for your bankroll is a good news! It makes some compensation for the bad beat, isn´t it? And pajalnick I`m sorry for your lost, but you could think that that is an offering to the good luck that you had before with the good variance and the wheel prizes, don`t you think? It will pass very soon!

Thank you for congratulations but the compensation is too small. Today i won 33 dolllars ticket and i'm happy for the last days with few tickets and yesterday 11 dollars and few cents in the $5,50 big fish tournament. All i have to do now is to try again for my dream The hope dies the last.
