So is anybody playing this ? The donk fest in it is killing me , people shoving with basically anything , I'm trying to keep my head cool , but it's pretty damn hard , folded a couple of AK's , and A Q , just because the chip leader decides to go all-in , no raises no nothing , and I really want to do good in it to win a couple of $ , the 1st place is about 270 $ so it's really attractive , but it's so damn hard to play a decent hand , I curently have a 15 k stack , sitting in 474 out of 3475 , 3150 places paid.

I see that Poker Stars has 100k depositors freeroll too. They didnt put such tournaments in schedule with Full Tilt reopening, and the unused ticket for the 100k depositors i had turned to 10 tickets for January. Still no clue about these tournaments though structure, prize etc.

Its not only the fact that 3 or 4 players are in the pot that stopping you from following and calling an all in with AK preflop. Its the fact that this is a 100k freeroll tournament. It is freeroll but again its 100K. So a controlled play is needed here, and pretty much you play this tournament as a big buy in one. Thats my opinion, of course.

So after I got busted 2 times , A J vs A 10 , A flop 10 river , Q Q vs Q A , turn A river A , I was left with a 3 bb stack , lucky for me I was dealt next hand A K , got 1 caller with A Q , got up to 10 bb , the next hand also A K , vs A Q , vs 8 8 , caught a lucky break with a K on the flop , managed to build up a decent stack , and now I'm sitting in 120 out of 720.....hope I go deep on this one.
------------ Ok , so after having a 80 K stack, blinds are 1k-2k , I get dealt A k in SB position , the UTG limpls , I raise to 6 k , Utg raises all-in , about 36 k , I call , he shows A J , I win the hand with an A flush on the river , and now I'm sitting in 25 out of 600.

i can feel you guys, im quite bored of freerolls aswell, its just a donk-fest always.. no matter what site, as soon as its freeroll or micro-stakes it su*** big time.. I feel the way to place well in these tournaments is that you do need alot of luck, even if you are doing barely any misstakes, and yeah ppl shoving with anything.. i love it too.. Im thinking about not playing these freerolls at all, it feels like there is nothing more to learn.. its very rare to actually sit on a decent table with normal players.. But hey what can we do when there is not much other options for us.

a typical busto for me.. just played on FTP the german $100 freeroll where the field is not so huge, after few rounds found out Aces, there was open raise (3bbs) and many calls so i reraised for like 10bbs, he shove i snap call he shows AK offsuit, flop came 10 Q 10 and and i knew he will get that Jack i just knew it, guess what the turn was baam its Jack, river was blank so changed nothing. and i was out after few mins.. quite typical.. and about your hand yeah i got busted yesterday the same way, was close to paid places and guy called me with 10 2 suited while i had AK offsuit, well he hit 2 on flop and that was pretty much it. anyway GL to you next time

haha same for now its really a big challenge sometimes to stay calm in freerolls i dont mean by flaming in chat but in your room kind of exploding i guess thats the only positive thing we can take from freerolls, "How to stay calm everytime v.1.00 "
another tip ,,if you got a ticket,,enter in the last minute ,,44th minute and shove with any two..
if you win that hand your in and should try to survive as cheap as possible till add-onn period..
from there on play your A-game and win the damn thing..
i've ended 2 times second and 1 time 3rd in that tournament and won around 600$ with those 3 results..
once you managed to reach add-on it's easy to reach ITM... and all money is welcome...
1 of those final tables i did not rebuy once and no add-on,,,i was out of money at the time ,,,no bankroll
but more determined to win..
deposit 10$ and play the best freeroll 4 times a day dor 30 days,, what else do you want???
if you play them all during those 30 days and reach itm everytime,,,which is possible or 80% of the times you play it...you win at least your 10$ deposit back ,and maybe even more..
this is the best bankrollbooster out there..if you ask me..
i try to play em ass much as possible,although it's very low prizemoney...300$ first prize with a free ticket is not bad at all..
