i have not played BRM freeroll in so long so i thought f**k it i'll have a crack at it, folded 1st 2 hands, second was K3 flop comes K3 turn K...so good fold preflop sick watching 3 players betting away and guy wins with A high...llf
next hand i get KK, comes round to me, i pump for 1480 to keep out any rag A, get called by Q 9 and by K 10 suited, flop comes s**t Q s**t, turn a club river a club...so frustrating
needless to say i wont be playing BRM freerolls ever again!!
they are a complete joke and BRM CAN work with pokerstars to limit it to members only!!! only they dont want to!
every other forum on there does it so as you can only register for freeroll if you are a member of that forum!

the reality of the situtation is that regardless of the site providing the freeroll, anyone who can find the password from any one of a number of password providing sites can get entry to any freeroll if theyvwant to, so its not just BRM!

yes it is!! like i said other forums have their freerolls locked to their members only, therefore no password needed! so it is just BRM, whether out of laziness of just wanting their site promoted more they are making it pointless for their members to play in these freerolls..
what is the point in playing in a freerollleaderboard when non-members are taking away the reason for playing.
eg. me and you are in freeroll, you finish 2nd and i finsh 5th, we go to leader board but guy who finished 1st,3rd and 4th arnt members..that means you and I should have a 1st and 2nd..
if you go through pokerstars tourneys there are alot of forums are members only freerolls.

Just out of curiosity I decided to verify the top three (3) leaders on the leaderboards for Pokerstars and The other Poker site. The top three (3) on the Pokerstars board are members and the the top two (2) for PartyPoker are members. That's at least pretty good! I was thinking, based on your statement none of the BRM members were on the leaderboards.
I'm not disputing the legitimacy of your point / arguement, but this has been going on for years. Even when tghe U.S. could play BRM freerolls at Fulltilt. The complaint has been going on since then.

i was using that as an example..ho wmany of the people on the leader board are not members?
i still stand by what i stated, they are either to lazy or just dont care about restricting these to BRMers only.
i know this has been an ongoing issue with people coming on and asking for BRM to do something about it, i'm not jumping on the band wagon but i'm just voicing my disliking to their inadequacy to sort this once and for all.
i understand BRM want more members to join the forum but the best way to do this is to lock the freerolls completely so as only BRM members can play...im a member of BRM but i cant play the freerolls on partypoker, i've spoke to BRM and partypoker many times about this and still i cant play, so they can lock members out of a freeroll on one site yet let every tom, d**k and harry play on another!!

Actually, you don't have a valid point , the top 3 in the leaderboard are members , because only members can participate in the leaderboard , even if non-members would win x times the brm freeroll , they would not take part in the leaderboard.

G'day mate
I just want to point out that every member on the leaderboard are members of Brm. You can not even get on the leaderboard unless you apply and register through BRM so everyone on the list is a member.

I can entirely sympathize with you! The BRM leaderboardpoker games have become lotteries. The person surviving the most all-ins wins.
However, be qarned that there are some people posting here that think any criticism of anything that BRM management does threatens to cause the implosion of the universe.

Leaderboard is the countdown of the BRM members who registered for that competition.As nonmember you can take the prize from the freeroll,but you can not compete for the leaderboard.About the freeroll,I think that BRM did not registered affiliates to PokerStars like other sites with freerolls for their members

such a let down BRM!
It's not JUST the NON-MEMBERS problem. The REAL problem is NON-MEMBERS with MAAAAAANY CLONES. Poeple with multiple accounts. That's why they play moronic/bingo/roulette... BAD BEATS.
1)They don't care! 2)Some don't even know about leader-board, and the prize for first 30 players and 1500$ extra Free-roll! 3)They shove with whatever 2 cards, coz they have 3,4,5,6 extra accounts. If they win, they put themselves sit out and go to next account on the row, to do the same!
Some people, are very SMART and put the same name to clones, with a small difference, like an number. Like in this pictures, but how many really are, with different names?

For sure there are possibilities to limit number of players (these who are not brm members)
At least you can put lower registration period like 3-5mins WITHOUT late reg. I think every brm user already knows when are these freerols played. So if he want to attend he will be there on time. And if he miss it theres another one every 2 hours... Thousands of players whos not members are registered in that 10min. late reg. cause everybody can find password on internet through this time.

doesnt matter when the password is put up in BRM forum because alot of these non members have already registered before the password is even released to BRM members. sometimes up to a few hours early, so would love to know where they get the passwords from.
doubt they can guess the password because they arnt in any order just seems like random series

What? No way man. I never noticed anybody registered to brm freerol hours before tournament. And there is nobody registered in next brm freerols too, you can check it on PS...
Another benefit, from smaller registration period would be that more people will find this site and eventually will register here. Cause if they will not be able to find password on internet (like fb pages, or websites made for this..) They will look for it on their own here on site. And they will find leaderrboard and prizes and it will be even bigger motivation to register here with less players in freerols and more possible winnings and become a mobster I guess

honestly man, next time i see it i will post on here, i have witnessed it many times, i've nothing to gain by lying
while I've never seen any BRM freerolls with people signed up before the password has been released, I have come across websites that have BRM freeroll passwords posted for everyone to see along with passwords from other sites.
