I won a ticket and i received an email of course. After that i play and another 2 tickets for me. I also received an email for these tickets. I play first game Grand Hand Lucky Tournament and i lose faster with AK. I was quickly executed by small cards but not pocket Yesterday i played the same games again but i did not get any more tickets. What you have to do to win a ticket, to win with big pair?

Oh I thought that this promo may be the kind of new type of tournament when the room sends you an email with a ticket`s gift. In this way, you have to win with the hand of the day. I don´t know which it is because my 888poker client doesn´t work for two days. I have to erase it, download the .exe and install it again
I think this tournament is much less interesting than the previous one ... which was at 888poker .... there was a chance to win extra money ... If you go 1000 players .... it's usually a $ 6000 freeroll .... This is certainly not interesting .... but freeroll is a freeroll .... ok ...... we play what we have

I do not know how to win a ticket to this freeroll. Yesterday i did not win again. So two days and i did not win another ticket. I play two freerolls but not money and each had 4,500 paid seats. Nothing interesting if you do not finish in the first 9 players ( final table ). I can not buy with gold chips a ticket. Anyway is ok if you won something but is hard.

Hey CALICUL, why you can´t buy a ticket with your thousands of gold chips? A country´s restriction again? You have to win any real money game´s hand with the Grand Hand of the day, to win a ticket. There is two kind of freerolls: Skills, a normal one; and Lucky, an all in tournament. Today is AJs, I have to download a new poker`s client and install it to access the 888 lobby
Of course it's sad that tickets to this tournament are not sold for gold chips .... to get to this tournament you have to catch a winning hand .... But it is rather difficult .... you can play all day and not get this win on your hand. ... In general, I think it is not interesting series of tournaments ... wait for the next .... Maybe there will be something interesting

I can not buy tickets for all freeroll games with gold chips. I saw in the offer that: i could buy tickets for Wild Surprise Tournament but for others like $6000 Grand Hand Lucky Tournament i can not. Others games like $1500 freeroll is restricted for my country. Only restrictions in the majority for my country. Is sad for many players but we can not change anything for moment.

What a shame pajalnick and CALICUL, in my country this is possible. The ticket of the $ 6000 Grand Hand freeroll is in the place where was the redeem to the Wild Surprise freeroll, and it cost 10 golden chips. By the way, I still study the new information (I start to understand basic things that I never understand before), so I`m not playing...it´s a rare stage!
Now 888Poker has specifically entered the client to check if something has changed and some tickets have appeared which can be bought for gold chips .... but no .... nothing has changed .... only one ticket for 5000 is sold dollars ollin for 500 gold chips .... But this is not serious ..... very sad .... Although maybe I just do not see these tickets because I do not have gold chips .... I need to play 3 more dollars and I will move to a new level ..... but so far I have not played enough of them on freerolls.

If i could buy a $6000 Grand Hand Lucky Tournament ticket for 10 gold chips, i would say not. I will not buy anything because i do not like this tournament. I had 3 tickets and i won nothing. Tournaments are disappointing and Wild Surprise T. it was better. I prefer to play other freerolls or satellites and i do not want to play many tables to waste my concentration.

you won nothing because there are so many players in the tournament ..... Perhaps that is why .... and I agree with you the previous tournaments with a surprise were much more interesting .... there was a chance to win extra money if you hit the top 1000. ... and in these tournaments there are usually standard rules .... this is not very interesting .... maybe the next tournaments will be more interesting

Let's see what promotions they will have after that Grand Lucky Tournament. They will probably take a break with promotions and bonuses. The freeroll tournaments will remain and our friend Maragatero will be happy. In January i think it will start another promotion or maybe even in December.

I´m in agreement about the last promotions. Without any doubt, the Wil Surprise was the better promotional tournament since I registered there. But the $ 6000 Grand Hand didn´t be a bad tournament in the past. I remember that I spent all my gold chips buying tickets for it in the last time that it appears.
Today I switched to level 68 and received 95 gold coins for an account of 888poker .... and a miracle happened ... there were selling tickets to the tournament for $ 6,000 .... of course I bought all 9 pieces .... and played in the one in which everyone goes ollin .... I was lucky .... the first distribution I won .... and then I was transferred to the table in such a way that I missed the distribution .... results 48th place and 13 dollars profit

You do not win tickets for $500 First Depositors Free Tournament with Wheel Of Fortune? I earn about 5 tickets per month, sometimes 6-7 and is a $500 freeroll but i like more than $6000 Grand Hand Lucky. An advantage is the blind at 10 minutes, other is number of players 900-1200 and very rarely more.

It has no sense, not your rights about getting some prizes in the wheel of fortune (Imay accept it too), if not the way of the wheel to replace the gifts. How you can play in a First Depositor Freeroll? It seems a tournament to beginners players, why they don´t give you a legitimate prize and not that absurd invention. Crazy wheel!
after winning $ 13,000 in a $ 6,000 tournament, I increased my stack to $ 30 .... and then something went wrong .... I played sit-and-go ... 1 to 3 ... maximum at $ 5 .... and then blurred over me ... I decided to play at $ 10 .... the result is logical ... $ 0 in the account .... But there are a lot of tickets but $ 6,000 tournaments. ... and I'm approaching level 69

If you do not pay attention to your bankroll, you lose it fast, Pajalnick. You like to risk everything you have, in a few games? It's not a good idea because you lose most of the time. You had the option to play some multi table tournaments. If you advanced, you could have won more money. Maragatero, that's their decision and this freeroll is ok.

Maybe you are right and I really should have tried to play multi-table tournaments .... I even did it once .... but did not win and decided to return to the sitgow .... and rose from $ 13 to $ 30 .... More precisely, 10 to 30 .... Since I lost 3 dollars in a multi-table tournament .... the wrong decision was that I decided to play for 10 dollars ... and then repeat the game with the same player
