most of the time I only play them when I have some spare time when they tournament starts. If I suddenly have something that needs my immediate attention it doesn't matter if I have to leave the game.

For me it is a great opportunity to practice. If i can get any free money, it's even better. Unfortunatelly, with my stupid luck or maybe lack of skills, i usually finish in top 200-300, which is not enough to win any cents. Anyway, i keep trying.

I think this leaderboard it's one of the greatest things here I'm just following it for now as i registered to this website just a bit too late. Any other leaderboard that comes around i will be in the game

You can still play in the freeholls it just that you will be at a disadvantage by having missed the first month of the current leaderboard. It's just like entering a tournament late, you have a disadvantage by having missed some of the of the play but it's still possible for you to win.

Posted by Administrator: We already did 888 in the past and I don't think it's coming back. Unibet might happen though, if we're lucky.
I would much prefer it stay on PokerStars as that's the site I play on. And again to flog a dead horse,...something should be done to limit it to BankrollMob members only. I'm no computer genius,...but I see about a dozen other freerolls in the private tab that are set up that way,....
...that being said,....
I like doing the leaderboard thing. I like the challenge and excitement of trying to climb up higher and higher.
Before finding the BrM leaderboard,...I was registered in a few others that were on PokerStars until they got cancelled by their sponsors,...like the Facebookfreeroll where you could quite easily win money in the tourneys,...and easily qualify for the monthly $5,000 freeroll. THAT got cancelled about a year and a half or so ago...
Before that,...was the NAPL tournaments and leaderboard if anyone remembers those... I was getting a steady monthly payment from THAT leaderboard until unfortunately IT got cancelled too...
THAT was a big bummer when THAT happened... I really liked that one....
As far as this BrM leadrboard thing goes.... aside from all the donks, bingo queens and CHEATING COCKROACHES with multiple accounts who ruin the games... I like it too!
I first noticed it about 13 months ago in the private tab. Didn't pay any attention until I seen the password being published on some Facebookfreeroll page. I got the password,...tried one or 2,...made a few cents, then realized there was a leaderboard thing...
That's what brought me to BrM. I had been registered for about the past year before it dawned on me that it's also an interactive messageboard thing about a month or so ago...
Turns out to be a GREAT website full of good folks!!! I'll be here for the longrun if y'all can tolerate me...

For about the last 4 or 5 days,....SAME F'N thing,......except I've had WAY BETTER pockets like AA, KK, and QQ,....only to get KILLED by somebody calling with marginal junk.....
Stuff that should NEVER happen like nipitiri says....

I am not sure how that is ever auto-fold. Once flop comes down, higher FH is an obvious threat and a real threat given the high all-in

So you went all in on the turn? What happened on the flop? check/check? TBH I don't think I'm ever folding trip Aces, yeah someone could have a bigger A or even a fh but that's not going to happen too often. It would have been a bigger mistake if the guy folded his trip aces. You just got unlucky. I don't think anyone done anything that wrong.

pretty sure that guy would showed with only 6 also since BRM freerolls are donkfest lol and actually there were third player he called aslso with flush draw =he had around 300k stack and put his tourney life with 6 9 or sum chit like that anyways there are 0 logic at BRM freeroll i would think if less players left players would not risk like they do (not talking about that last time but overall)

at BRM freeroll or 100k freerolls ya can do 10 -20 tourneys row everything right but still not get into cash i do know that when i posted my message i was bit pissed of thats all lol not anymore and that was not worst bad beat what ive had close to final table had loads worst in both 100k one and BRM
by the way since im from estonia i can only play at stars means never no deposit bonus or good freerolls only weekly second round or BRM freeroll
whats the point of playing in these freerolls if yur not playing for the leaderboard standings when theres 5000 players and only top 117 getting paid??????? out of these 5000 players theres probably only 500 mobsters playing
