And in comparison to what our friend Mr. Yout85 just came up with then this is really not even worth mentioning but here goes.
So I'm playing this BBB freeroll on Stars cause i have to cause i have no funds on here. Anyways I'm currently in 1st with 37 to go. 4170 runners for this one and a top payout of 2.19 for 1st. ouch has to be the worst I've seen for this large a player pool.
I guess I'll take whatever I can get as of now but hope to just win one just to say I did again.
Wish me luck ladies and Gents and again this is not much to brag about in reality to what some of members are doing on a bigger stage.

Yea the payout is a bad one, but there are many entrants as i see 4k plus. It is a fast game though, down to 38 in less than 2 hours. Must be all in after all in to get a big stack. Not easy to reach the 27 paying positions with 4k entrants.

in this tournament does not normally poker players just go all in, many quickly reduces the number of players but the man annoys such playing and losing concentration and you joining to this manner of playing and lose very quickly , and the reward is miserable and not worth that man annoyed if drop quickly

Freeroll on Stars have always been a pain in the behind. A lot of players and a limited price pool is not a good combination for a tourney. They are more of a coin flipping competition like an all in shootout.

Ouch just got bounced in 7th after going into final table in 1st position.
Went crazy with pocket 88 and lost to pocket 10's and pocket QQ.
Wild few hands and I'm gone. .40 cents added to the BR so I can play some .02 cent 999's now and try to make a new roll from this. maybe a .10 cent 360 man as well.

oh my goodness what a horrible combination is that and why the hell are you wasting your time playing crap freerolls like this ? it makes no sence to me playing a tournament with a $ 10 prizepool and over 4000 entries. let's assume you finished in tenth place after playing more then 3 hours you get $ 0,17 ??? wtf
------------ ok you finished 7th place....howsoever a wast of time in my opinion. there are much better freerolls to find with bigger price pools and less opponents

Hey The Irish. $1.55 for two hours work isn't that bad really, you could have played for 90 minutes and sucked out on the bubble. Look to small mercies with great compassion and use the moment to think,... I've now got $1.55 that I can use to play another game and hopefully win even more money, which I can use to play........

If it is not the only game you are playing at the moment, i dont see anything wrong playing it. You can play ring games, or othe buy in tournaments with this one in the background. A little bit from here and there is never bad. Add whatever you can to grow that bankroll

where you play the tournament of Poker Stars , Party Poker or give some advice I've had enough freeroll , you can not earn anything , just wasting time and nerves , tell me where there's normal to play poker without nervous , my brother had to pay to we gets better
So you just beat 4000 players for a whopping 0.40 cents? That my friend is an amazing achievement I will never be able to do or even attempt to do in my whole life time
But if you can manage to play well and stay disciplined in this kind of tourneys, I wonder how tight you would be in a 1000$ buy-in live tournament... lol
GL with these 40 cents, try to turn then into something.

These sort of freerolls are a waste of time in my opinion. You have to play for hours and hours just to get a couple of cents. There are plenty of very good freerolls out there and i would be keeping to these ones
