Just had to post this one. Was playing a freeroll for the MM special entry so i could get some cash if I placed top 15. This was the second or third hand of the tourney. All-in pre-flop.... Needless to say, I didn´t place in this donkfest. It just didn´t stop.

so you payed all in pre flop on 2 3 suited ?ok its freeroll,but come on!I know you try sometimes with this kind of hand,but its very sick call!maybe if its large tournament and small payout,then I understand you!
depending on the mood I am in I dont mind joining in the donkfestivals at least 2 out of 10 freerolls I will get a nice stack quick then settle down to grind away for the rest of the tourney, sure I prefer playing pokerpoker and not bingo but the majority of freerolls need lots of luck and not just good play if you hope to progress , usually I wont entertain freerolls with more than 200 entrants so this limits the sites I play them on , when I do play them it will be alongside my usual stg games which take up 99% of my attention if I do get lucky and stack up on the freeroll then I pay more attention,, I just look at freerolls as a bit of fun, best that way
I cant promote poker sites in the forum but theres 1 in particular with entires rather than cash up for grabs that I enjoy playing on and usually the pokers good after the first hour anyway and the fields are usually well under 200 which gives you a fighting chance
I suppose giving the members a clue to the sites name wont incurr tonys wrath well hopefully not, my wrists still sore from the last slap,lol
the sites name starts with an R

Yep! I was the one who folded 98o. Just thought it was a crazy board for a 32 all-in, and worth a screenshot.

I just played it because I´m registered for the MM on jan 9th, and if I get get into the MM Special on fridays and win a second ticket, they give me $640 instead. So it´s not just a freeroll to me. Trying again in about 15 min.

Online poker is not rigged, but its sick sick the amount of the crazy hands that we see in there. I cant this kind of crazy stuff anymore. Its cruel when you have little expectations and then somebody appears with nothing to do and then take the dream from you.
