Well got a chance to play the Ireland and England only freeroll on pokerstars again tonight ....4225 entrants ..... first place paying $853 (you could rebuy for .50c and buy a add on ) ..... going well then ran into A,A twice ....
Second time was hard as i hit two pair on turn and a massive 3 way pot ....... and then board pairs on river giving A,A two pairs beating my two pairs of K,K J,J that decimiated me but managed to get back into it only then to raise with K,Q folds around to the Big blind who calls ...... flop K get all my chips in only for him to have A,K and im out finished in 483 spot and get $1.92 for my troubles
But still a very nice freeroll with a great first prize .....running every night till march 7 th so hopefully ill get to play it again........

it's nothing to do with jealousy.. I just couldn't be fcked with that many runners.. that's 5 hours for over 4000:1 of $800. You're actually 'entry value' isn't very much.

It's a huge donkument, I played in it and got rode on the river, in around 1900th place... that will happen a lot in freebies though. you just need to get the hands + the luck at the right time. I'm glad I went out at that time rather than playing for 4hr+ for a few measely dollars outside the FT
Compliments. I don'ìt like this kind of freerolls because there are too many players ( more than 4200 ) and too much time is needed to finish it ( if you want to go itm of course ). If you like to spend 2-3 hours playing freerolls on FT there are dedicated freerolls for countries; f.e. for italian players there are never more than 350-400 people
