played the weekly bankrollmob freeroll on Noble tonight ..... nice game 177 players and $67.50 to the winner so worth taking seriously ..... or so i thought .... a lot of the play was unreal .... and i get screwed then by potergeist after lad pushes all in for 890c he calls (has around 5,000) chips .... im in BB with pocket Q,Q with 3,000 chips so push all in to isolate .... then limper calls and potergeist calls ... so what they all have for calling my 2,200 reraise with .... limper one had K,8 suited and calls after a 890 push all in (he had 2,500 chips) .. a call and a 2,200 reraise ....... all in guy for 890 had J,J (no prob with this play) and potergeist had A,10 off suit ... hmmmm think he should have folded that.
Flop A so that was end of that ..... But not complaining want hands like that to call when i got pocket pair ..... next time they might hold and i get massive pot. hopefully ill get to play this again and take it down ......

yes i agree with u photo that was an easy lay down but freeroll and rebuy play is excatly what it is no problem risking a free play man u have to see flop before pushing in freerolls because everyone calls...i always sit out the first 2 blinds to get rid of idiots and remember idiots with huge stacks in the first few mins are 90% idiots too attack them

I gave up on that one at Noble. Nothing but Donk plays in that one, not much to do with real Poker. The one on Full Tilt plays better. The one on Party is slightly more agressive but very playable as well. Too bad about Noble, $250 is not bad, but it´s played like a totasl freeroll unfortunately. You would think BRM members there wouldn´t play that stupid, but what can you do?...

It's a shame BRM members play like this, but sounds like it's worth playing again.. As you said photolong, maybe next time your pp holds and you get a massive pot.. Then you can completely dominate the game and survive a bad beat or two along the way. That's generally the way i've play well in a freeroll, basically ultra-tight in the first hour until i get either AA/KK or maybe ever AKs or QQ and then just ship it all in pre flop, knowing I'll get a caller or two and if i can triple up then I can normally do well and if i bust out, no biggie.

I completely understand people who are going all in all the time in freerolls , it just isnt wort to play tight in the beginning. Play aggressive and get lucky and go deep in the tournament or bust early so you dont waste the whole day. Theres always a new freeroll ...

Posted by MANUEDO: Donkament tournament aka freerolls. It's your fault for you waste your time playing freerolls instead of serious ''expensive'' tournaments
i totally agree with you but i seem to always do well in certain freerolls i have played for ages,i stick to the ones on pokerstars /tilt and ladbrokes and i play the same ones and i usually always cash something or get tournie tokens worth allsorts to gain entry to the bigger tournaments,they can come in handy and i also have a decent b/roll but it would be like letting money go for nothing if i where to stop playing them,i play my cash tables and sngs and mtts but i still play the few freerolls i have always played and it all adds up so keep it coming!
------------ do u have to download sites through brm to play in the freerolls?i have been a brm member fr a while now but i havent bothered playing any freerolls because i dont know when or how u need to go about it to play them,any1 that could explain id appreciate it!

The trick in a rebuy, is to just set yourself a rebuy limit and just get it in with all the idiots when your hands good. Sometimes you'll bust out and just don't keep buyin back. Other times you'll come out of the rebuy period with an absolute monster stack, thanks to all the idiots going allin everyhand. And if set yourself a rebuy limit, you can get some great value on the inflated prizepool.

Thanks for your post, I was not aware of this freeroll. I find the way to play freerolls is to try and double or triple up early with a decent hand, otherwise you can play a long time, be eaten up by the blinds and have wasted your time. By pushing all in early if you bust - do something else, but if you get a stack, then you are going to have a good chance of going far and start capitalizing on the mistakes and desperation of the other players. GL!

Posted by franmoraes: someone can help me i need BRM code to create my acc in noble poker
Just use BRM link and that will be enough... I actually made some nice money on Noble... Won 9$ with this freeroll and manage to build small bankroll there so for that tourney... Also you cant say that people play that freeroll like FT or Party freerolls. It is still freeroll playing but slightly more serious.

I've folded several potential good hands due to the donks going all in preflop. Thanks to BRM and the Mobsters threads I've learned to be patient when the donks are playing wild. Like stated above, it's a freeroll and players don't play with any ethics. You never know what someone may call. Also, watch the bluffers! Good Luck at the tables!
i completely agree with you but this is the rule. good luck for the next
