its not that they are popular its because its free money.its actually unfair as these people join for the free money but dont register with BRM. BRM should just allow members to join, i know that pokersites limit tourneys to members only..this is a fair way for genuine members!
------------ yea but its even more difficult for genuine members to get on the leaderboard

all passwords are out for those fifty dollar freerolls on stars... out in freeroll tab.
and as to the point of the non members thing its just more of a challenge for us talented players to play these bingo players that join just for the free money. if we are truely as good as we like to claim we should still do fine.

Posted by JAMMYJAG: Everybody shares passwords,most freerolls are not worth a donkeys bollox anyways,ya play for 5 hours to get $1
or two and a half to get 8 cents lmfao cause some idiot calls your open shove with aces with 8 3 and hits a flush
Its not the $1 that is important it is our leader board, that's why we play it isn't it JAMMY and yes SHark its a joke to some of the idiots that play it.
------------ Why do the passwords have to to come out again so that even more players can get in, makes no sense to me as to why they would do it. I mean the field is going to be even bigger now DOH DOH DOH!!!! Oh well poker gods will be smiling at the end of the day lol

Its a lose lose. the players getting the password arent giving due traffic to this site. the players playing w/out being members dont qualify for the leaderboard. the players who are brm members dont get the exclusivity deserved by being actual members and we also get flooded by sheer numbers making any actual mobber imposible to leaderboard.
This issue does need to be addressed in the new year to maintain brm.coms integrity.
IMO all these FR's are open, the only requirement to play them is to be a member of the hosting site. To get on the leaderboard one must be a BRM member. Don't know who is or isn't a member of BRM when playing them...in the end I wonder if its all really worth the effort to keep my eyes on the prize. This time I decided to try it out for this month after this I'm done. Really not worth the effort...may be a good way to recuit new members...that's fine. Still waiting for the possibility of a BI leaderboard...not holding my breath for that one.

I can't help but feel the disclaimer in the tourny lobby stating this is a brm.com freeroll would make any non winning member ineligible and posibly even in breach of pokerstars terms of service of end user agreement.
Really whats the chances on me dinging a moderator if i make FT and asking them to start verifying members?

technically there really are not open freerolls. they are for mob members only. all those buggers registered before the time released password are kind of cheating. well not kind of. they are. to put it into perspective the field was 2600 before the release i think. after it swelled to 3k at tourny start then i think its sitting at 3700 total. Knock out those cheaters and you have a very reasonable 1000 player field.
------------ Ouch some brazilian just outplayed me to death.... lol
Cant admin ask pokerstars to ban all the players registered in the upcoming games? Sounds harsh but its tantamount to stealing really. The games 2 days from now have players registered in them and just a quick glance shows the same names.

Actually they released the passwords to BRM members yesterday and so we got a heads up on those that weren't registered. But I see your point.

Actually the passwords for the freerolls were released to the members of BRM yesterday all of them, but hey what can we do. This has been happening for longer then I have been playing, sharing of passwords, I used to play 2 MTT's on Titan both 180 player fields same players every week and same passwords. Good luck to them anyway. I mean the BRM players hope they make the FT.... I got knocked out by a guy who calls my K6 suited 350 pre with his 23 and hits a 2 and goes all in lol
