Grats to you. Seems like you are doing a very good job at 888poker. Which games do you play there ? I am currently trying to build a roll over there from zero by playing the BRM freerolls.
I also play BRM frerolls it from scratch, but not happy with your opponents, flew recently on KK (28th place) with a stack of 14,000 in the BB 2000. I'm in the big blind was at an all Institute I made ​​the call stack of 28,000 with 5 offsuit ace

thank you all for your reply s MiGO14 i am playing always MTT tournaments and the most off them are very cheap like buy ins from 0,99 1,15 1,35 1,65 2,50 3,50 4 or 6 dollars and the prize money is 800$ 1200$ 1500$ 2000$ 2500$ 3000$ 4000$ 10.000$ sometimes the have rebuys and some off the don't have rebuys but i have a system to play those rebuy tournaments i know a lot off the people there going the first ouhr all in so i wait for the cards whit pictures and then i try my luck have so much fun and luck there sometimes and if i have 20.000 or 30.000 chips i dont play the first ouhr any more and whait till the first brake then you have an add on period most off the time 3 add ons 3x10.000 chips i do those rebuys and my stack go's sometimes to 50,000 or 60,000 chips and then i start playing this was the way i have reached 3 times the final table in one week and i did spent only 10$ dollars or something like that

------------ and i forgot to tell about the promotions like Macubaas is telling in his reply i only can say wow to the promotions..... i dont see another pokerroom giving so much promotions ...and if you do deposit your money is going to be doubled right away you get the money right away in your account you dont have to make points like in the most pokerrooms ....so for example if you deposit 50€ = like 65$ you get 130$ right away in your account and after making 100 points you get 10$ for free and after another 100 points another 10$ free so you can have a good start over there playing whit money from 888 and use it for MTT s or you can try the push and fold games thats a quick game if you like going all in very fast i have managed to make some good money over there and observe players and look how they play i wait for the top cards and in the most off the time you can win but dont stay to long at the tables so make money and run come back later whit a new low stack and start over again so you don't damage what you have won this is no garantee but at least you can try it some times i am sure you will have luck 2

Yeah, I have to agree with that. 888 has made a big effort to redeem themselves after losing a big chunk of their player base a couple of years ago. At the time their ancient software kept disconnecting players, and "support" always layed the blame on the player and his computer/internet connection.

i never have lost conection when i was playing at 888 so i don't know anything about that what i do know is that i had once problems whit logging in but it was the problem off 888 and i had send them an email and they sad that they have technical problems and that i have to try in about 30 min again ..
but i can understand what you say and i wouldnt like it if i was playing a tournament and then the connection fails that wouldn't be fair if you are in a late stage off the tournament and the blinds are high

or if you are playing cash table NL1000 on a preflop raised table with AK and K flops out, you bet out and you get disconnected ...

Don't know what to say about this site , just registered recently on it , and thought to play a few bankroll tournaments first, and then deposit , to see how the mood is , and boy I'm disappointed , there are clearly less players than on pokerstars , for example on 888 in these tournaments register about 300-400 people , and that's a plus , because on pstars are about 3000-4000 people in these tournaments , but i keep getting these bad beats , I'm not to sure about depositing now , for example , in the beggining of the tournaments 90 % are donkeys, rage all-ins and stuff, I played fairly tight on the first part , managed to grab an A K , a donkey went all in , i called him , because I was the only one left , he had 8 3 os , of course he hit the 8 on the river , I got nothing , and there I go. I just lost another bankroll tournament 5 minutes ago , J 10 suited , only 1 player in hand , of course the biggest stack , i had about 10-15 bb , in dealer position made a 3 bb raise , I get called by the big stack , 4 5 10 on river , I go all in , hoping to scare him off , ofcourse havin a top pair , get called , he has 6 2 in hand , of course he calls , and of course on the river he hits the 3 making a straight , another interesting hand , A K vs K Q ..same tournament , same result , i had about 30 bb , get an all in raise from the Sb , with about 14-15 bb , he has K Q , me A K , of course he hits the Q , and my nerves get shattered. So don't know what to say about this software....probably not making a deposit any time soon.
