Freeroll games will not disappear permanently because if this happens, many players will abandon poker. Pokerstars has given up many free games in the past and probably definitely wanted this but they do not offer freerolls, promotions or gifts the entire poker industry will drop. Many players not play real money and just play freerolls games for fun. Other makes little deposits and with free games is good for they.

That is not true maragatero. When we used to have all the poker rooms available here, many years ago, I used to play in a site occasionally, where i was participating in a few freerolls, along with buy ins. There were a couple of players that were playing this game, rebuy after rebuy, plus addon. They were almost every time in the money making a profit, unlike all the rest which they were buying only once.

That´s your experience, but despite this, it´s not THE TRUE, it´s only your truth. You aren´t its owner, it isn´t it? I saw what I told, I saw people that finished the satellite with his seat and 3 add-on un-useful in his stack. And I saw people who made all the rebuys and add-on that they could and losing in the final stage. I don´t chat with lies

It is absurd to make rebuys and add-ons more than just a direct registration or equal. Maybe they hoped that they would qualify with less buy in than registration, but in the end they make this to obtain qualification, even if it costs equal or more. I do not do that for qualify with more money. I have a limit and if i fail to qualify with my limit, i quit the game without buying anything.

As long as interest brings you a win, you must to make rebuy or add-on. I played with persons and some of them always make rebuys and qualifies in front of those who did not rebuys. It is important to pursue the main purpose. Mober what is your name in 888poker? if you want to say it. If you do not want to tell give me an answer to know, please.

That is good for me! I take your idea for future tournaments. If you build a limit to get a ticket, it could be reasonable and I could make some rebuy or add-on within these limits. The other way, it seems to me really no sense Thank you CALICUL, in your way, I will play the rebuys and add-ons tournament!

If you're still trying to make some money from poker i say this thing counts. After several rebuys and add-ons, i won in this months few tickets of 33 dollars with little money. Maximum 1 dollar and 5 cents with 3 rebuys and 3 add-ons for the first satellit. For the second satellit i did not rebuy all months when i played because is expensive. With 2 tickets of $ 33 i finished in the money. Little money of course ( $ 82 and $ 161 yesterday ) but very good to play. I think my opinion with rebuys or add-ons in some games ( not in all games ) is very good. If i do not gain anything, i accumulate points for level ( gold chips ) with seconds satellites.

In some tournaments worth trying to get tickets through satellites. Especially when you can see points asi i see from the above post, during your tries. It is a return some how. Plus when you are rebuying adding on, you have an edge compared to the rest of the players.

Very good prizes my friend CALICUL! $ 240 is a good amount from two tournaments. And so, you finally decide for MTTs, you leave the cash tables? I like it too, but the part of the tournament that I suffer is the time that you need to arrive to ITM. In a small one, you need four hours and it ´s too much. I prefer S&G by this matter, but the prizes are small too

I can not play Sit and Go's because it's not profitable to me. I lose a lot with them and i do not win anything. I tried in the past with Pokerstars and i played a lot many S&G with 90 players, sometimes with 45, and with 9 or 360 players. Games with $ 1.50, $ 1 , 50, 25, or 10 cents. I do not try anymore in my life these not profitable games. Satellites and Main Tournaments and rarely Snap, Blast, Cash Games.

Really, the S&G have to have no more than 10 players (I have a doubt with the 18 players), the rest of that is MTTs, little tournament. I like this format, the S&G, because I can learn the basic of the tournament´s strategy and always be good traffic of this mode of play. So you can compensate for the cheap prizes with big volume

All SIT AND GO'S to which i'm referring were in the pokerstars software in this category. they started from 2 cents with 990 players and climbing up to several hundred dollars, maybe more. If you look into their software, you will see this my mobster friend and of course these games are S&G not MTT's. If they were not S&G, they did not exist in that category. Games with 990, 360, 180, 90, 45 players and less Pokesrstars know better than us.

...but not than me! They don´t have a MTTs category, this is why they classified by tourney or S&G only. But, if you think about it, a tourney that starts when arriving at xx players enrolled, and is playing in multiples tables is a MTTs. The tournament (big or small) start to at a certain time, since xx players enrolled. S&G is playing in a single table...I love to have the reason!

Honestly, i do not know how it works with S&G in Pokerstars rooms. I want to ask you: You made a calculation to 50 or 100 Sit & Go's if you have profit or you lose? I'm curious because if you do not profit with them you have options to play tournaments and cash. You can not waste your time and to lose. It is good if you have profit with them, but you can not enrich with these games.
I have a favorite kind of sit-and-go tournaments ..... this is a one-on-one tournament .... and of course it all depends on you .... also I prefer to play sit and go tournaments hyper Turbo ... ..to everything happened more or less quickly ..... yes I am impatient
If you win with this program an interesting amount of money, or many tournaments In The Money, then the program work good. Too much information is is exactly what makes me angry because i do not like that. If i play at 3 tables it bothers me a lot because i watched on youtube and is bad for me.
In general, the following happened yesterday ... I played in the tournament in the evening and won the total of 5 dollars ... I won some good freerolls ... but then I got bored ... I turned on the poker client again ... played Sit and Go Hands Up for $ 5 .... played well, but unfortunately it all ended badly .... there are again a few cents in the account

Ohh pajalnick...you love it! You do it once and again and I respect your decision. If it is fine for you...go for it! I couldn´t make that. As you know, I put myself limits to lost in each session. For example, if I lost eight S&G I shut off the poker´s client for that session (almost for that day), and I don´t play over my bankroll. And CALICUL, as I told here, I´m learning so even I went break even in the week, I was improving my playing, so...all is profit! (I don´t let me lost, first I leave to play!)

You can not play satellites of 10 cents? to win a ticket of $ 1 or 1 dollar entry for the $ 1000 goldfish? I really can not play in your style because as i said: it's a waste of time. I prefer to risk and to lose, than to play Sit & Go's, but everyone with his pleasure. You like these games and others players not.
