The only thing USA can play on FullTilt is the freerolls put on by BRM. Yesterday i decided to play so i entered the $100 freeroll and was doing good when the 2nd one started a $50 freeroll got off to a good start there to.Well to make a long story short I made the FT on the $100 but fell short and took 4th for a payout of $8.16 and was doing good in the other so after a while of struggling i doubled up twice in a few hands an was well on my way to my second final in a row. Again i fell short taking 3rd and knocking down another $5.38. Just goes to show you that even though its full of donks being patient will pay off.

Very nice run sir! Thats pretty impressive actually. I only played couple of freerolls on poker platforms to see whats what and i soon found out that they aren't played as sngs or tournaments, it's a different breed. As you said there are a lot of looosssee players since they have nothing to lose. As you said the secret was to have patience and wait good cards and play them all. I remember from back in the day i used to play freerolls that i played aggressively every pair and suited conectors. I really think this is the winning strategy for freerolls. However the biggest downside of this freerolls is that they take waay to much time and the pay off is not that much. What strategy did you used? Similar to tournaments?

Great job! You kept your cool and it paid off, you also picked up some nice leaderboard points too. Gl, you have plenty more BRM freerolls left and maybe sooner than thought you"ll be able to play all tournements again.

Goodjob its really hard to place in freerolls. To go on a run like that is great. Means you were picking the right spots and playing a good patient game nicely done sir!!
Great job from you reaching back to back final tables, because there are so many donks in these BRM freerolls. They go always all in with ace high or even king high and call with every hand.
Maybe you got just lucky or you are a real freeroll king
