Maybe you're right .... When I bought these tickets, I didn’t see How many of them could be used ... so if They disappeared because of this, then everything is all right .... I am guilty .... on Sundays a new tournament for 20,000 dollars .... and there is an opportunity to buy a ticket for it for 50 gold coins .... from me After going to a new level 100 gold coins .... probably I will buy two tickets

What a shame! You were winning this tickets in the wheel of fortune or you were bought it with golden chips? By the way, I bought a ticket to the $ 20.000 Ice Cold Freeroll too, and maybe there could be good prizes for us...or a quick farewell! It seems a bit like the regular tournament that likes to CALICUL, with blinds changing within four minutes. The new Warms Up of $ 3000 is really fast, there you has only two minutes to the blind´s change. There are really the lottery´s gamblers!

I played some games Thursday and i won that ticket for the $ 20,000 Ice Cold Freeroll Ticket. If you play games and accomplish your daily mission, you can win other tickets for $3.000 Warm Up Freeroll. I do not have the option to buy those tickets, but if i play some games and i manage to do my daily mission, will be ok.
I wrote in another message on the forum .... that today I made 4 bids for 5 dollars which in the end is 20 dollars .... and under the conditions I have to get a ticket to the Sunday tournament .... but I did not receive the tickets. .... And unfortunately now you can’t buy a ticket for 50 gold .... for 888poker, some strange events occur ..... I really do not like it

You have to read terms and conditions because there says something about the daily mission. I played some games and i ran approximate 12 dollars. I received the ticket Thursday night or Friday. You have to read the email in your box, and after that to look for what you need to do, to received this ticket. Good luck.
if they cannot decide on their own for this promotion, then probably I need to skip it ... in order not to make unnecessary movements .... well, when I played $ 20 to get a ticket, I played sit-and-go 4 times $ 5 in total, two wins, two losses ... approximately at their own ... minus commission .... in general, something went wrong at the end of the year

Yes, the promotion is clear: If you spend $20 in a week they will give you a ticket to the $ 20.000 Ice Cold Tournament. The only matter that you have to see is the time when you made the buy-in. If you buy it in the first or the last day, you have to do it between the 0:00 and the 23:59. I say that, because they don´t take my first buy-in to a SnG. Good Luck!

I saw that you played in this tournament Maragatero. You finished on position 8000 + and me approximate on 5400 place. A game with 4 minutes blinds, where as usual you can not win anything. This kind of tournaments are the ones which you must to play any cards, any time. Incredible how fast the blinds increase. This is not good for us if we do not win anything.

Yes CALICUL, Unfortunately, I take KK when a villain in my table has AA...a classical cooler! But I think that this $ 20.000 Ice Cold Tournament is a good tourney. There are big prizes and a lot of fishes. About the speed, four minutes isn´t fast. If you could see the $ 3000 Warm Up tourney...they are fast! The blinds change every two minutes!
I won a tournament for $ 3,000 a couple of days ago .... approximately 7,800 people participated in the tournament ..... and I somehow won the 20th place .... just amazing .... amazing .... I received 9 dollars and 30 cents .... and then getting a blast ticket from the Good Luck wheel .... I played in this Blast tournament .... I got a prize of 10 dollars ... for 1 place 6 dollars ... I won I have 15 dollars left .... a few games sit-and-go and now I already have 30 dollars ..... a good rise

It's good for you. With 30 dollars, you can play more games, for more money, if you have the talent to win. Today i rested a little at the computer and i won $ 5.50 ticket after 2 satellites. I'm tired these days and i will play only few games. It's Christmas and we play less poker. We have time on other days.

In this new format, $ 300 Warm Up, I think that may better become in a gambler. The blinds are too speed and there are too many villains so the playing has to be loose. If you try to play tight, the blinds eat your stack, despite you are aggressive when the good cards come. I had lucky there and I arrive ITM in three of four tournament played
today at 888poker I won only 15 cents in the freeroll .... very little .... But in the gray snow I went up $ 30 .... now I have about $ 70 there .... plus bonus points. ... which promise to exchange gray snow for dollars one-to-one .... then it’s already about 80 dollars ... I’m waiting for the visa card to be added to the deposit types

I said many times about freerolls with 2, 3, 4 or 5 minutes blinds are not good. This is a wild poker for savages players. In these games it's better to play like these players. You have nothing to lose if you risk, because the blinds will destroy you anyway. If you forget what i said you can write on a block notes.

I play him in such a way .... since the blinds rise very quickly ..... you have to maximize the travel time .... And then when a good card appears go all in .... this way of playing works as a rule .. .. every second freeroll I get a prize ... Maybe there is some other method, but I have this method

You have to explain to CALICUL that we paint our faces to play this tournament...and we play it with a knife in our teeth! Yes, the aggressive way is the best in these tournaments. And you only can play tight in the first level, when you have more than 20/25 blinds. Then loose and then ICM, and always stealing the blinds!

I do not have a problem to risking everything in these freeroll tournaments with huge prizes, but the real problem is the fact that you can not create a stack faster. It's impossible and in this way you can not win too much free money. Fast blinds are made so you can not win something nice.
of course in which tournaments you need to rely more on luck for all on poker skills ..... when the Blinds are taken very quickly there is no time to think .... but the saddest thing is that in such tournaments there are a lot of players who cannot play at all ... .. they make bets just like that ... it turns out- It doesn't work out .... red-black ... some kind of roulette .... Well, this is the kind of poker .... or not poker ... ha- Ha

The fact is that this kind of speed demands a specific type of play. You can´t play tight all the tourney. You only can play tight in the first two levels of blinds, then you need to play loose and always aggressive. You have to learn to adapt to this speed CALICUL, there always be winners of all the prizes and not all are lucky!

It's a poker game with a different approach. There may be videos on the internet, to understand how these freerolls with fast blinds, need to be played. I play at risk anyway because i am obliged to do so, but during the game, you have to be very aggressive or to do many bluffs. Then you can see if you have luck in winning the pots.
