This looks like a good promotion and good luck to all those mobsters having a go. I do like to watch these kind of programmes' on television just to see the gulf in skill between the top pros and the amateurs

It is really a great promotion, but you do not even have to make a deposit to enter a qualification tournament. There is a freeroll running everyday at 19:05 central european time where you can win three tickets + 250 Dollar.

I saw this on the TV recently with quite a lot of big names involved though I am sure that Mike Tindall who is a rugby player and amateur poker player came second to Griffin Benger.As for the qualifiers I think only one actually won their heat and got to the final table.

Hmm this is a good promotion found them a while back and it pits you in a shark cage right this is fun i think there is low risk of you dying by getting eaten by a shark but i think there will be a contract to sign if you die thy are not responsible or some compensation of some sort.
Anyway good luck guys hope you make it maybe we will see you on tv and we can rail you on and watch you skirm underwater lol , cheers peace out guys have fun at the tables and good luck!

I gues you are also playing the freeroll tournament. I have just played it and went out in place 1.200 what is not that bad at all. But luckilly I have already won 2,50 dollar in the first of these tournaments finishing in the top 100.

It will by tight to become part of the list. But if we havwhave free tickets, why not give it a try? I still haven't used this code. I have an email too, but i will only deposit if there's still time to play during this weekend. GL everyone!

I got my tickets but havent found the time to play them yet. Played two but jist threw my chips away entrants is a little higher then i like to play for 50$...but hopefully someone here will do good in them
I do not play these games ... and not because I do not think I can win. Of course it can happen at any time. I think that I'm not entirely a bad player and I have a chance. Just these chances are very small and at this time I can win in other tournaments. I feel that I am not one of the lucky ones. I certainly lucky, but not very much.

From my point of view it is not worth making a deposit to get some tickets for the event only if you want to make one anyway. But still I am playing the shark cage freeroll every day. Unfortunately I have not one anything since my cash on day one.
My last 2 days playing these free rolls 21st place and 22nd place 4 and a half hours for 0 if this does not send you on mega tilt mode i don't know what will

Yeah, but you know after the ticks been used you could withdraw the money again, so you could depo for the next big promo after next with the same sum.You could 'play' with the same $50 for years - just deposit, withdraw and redepo again only for the promos which give you ticks. Ideally.
Are you absolutely sure about that? You can really withdraw your money again and redeposit and so and so forth without any strings attached? Have you tried this or is it just a theory of yours? If so I will reevaluate my stands on this matter.

Why are you tilting at all on a free? The moment you registered you knew there isn't going to be 'raining money' on you nor it's going to be a cakewalk. Just lay back, open a beer and try not to get worked up under any circumstances. Not worth the anger.
About the ticks. You could only loose them if you withdraw before using them up. Once you played through that tourey which you get in for you are free to go. If you redepped with the '100k' code you have entrance to the daily privilege frees for 30 days. If you withdrew during that you loose your ticket. If you redepo with the 'skrillept' code you have to play that tourey and after it you could withdraw without probs. I was talking about this of course. But if you cut up that 50-60 bucks into $10-$20 sums and use them whenever you get a promo you like - theres no plus wagering attachement next to it if the promos didn't stated specificely otherwise.
From my point of view it does not matter that much whether this is a freeroll or not. If you are getting so close to winning something big and then just miss out on it it always sucks, especially if you have been playing for a long time to get there.
Poker Stars had the shark cage promotion previously with the same 1K added too the prize pool but with a standard payout structure like with the 100K free rolls 1 hour and 20 minutes and ITM i won't bother playing these in the future if only top 20 get paid 4 and a half hours of play in most tournaments depending on the amount of entrants you are close or at a final table.

Yeah, exactly. That is WHY I hardly got worked up about them, since freerolls are timeconsuming and having mostly bad payout structures I won't make a big fuzz about it if I will be the bubble boy. Nor should anybody. Especially if you entering them by dozens a day.
I absolutely disagree with you on that point, because it is just a wrong thinking. Take the shark cage freeroll for example. The top 100 are winning 2,50 dollars and if you are the bubble boy and win nothing you should be as disappointed when not reaching the money places in 3 dollar buy in tournament with 2,50 dollars for the last paid place.
