well,they are freerolls with big payout,but with lot players too!but if its free or just few star coins why not to play!in firsta half hour lots of donks will be out or with good stack,so will stop to play all in every hand or on 7 2 and then you will what could you get from this! good luck

I think the approach for the first shout or so is to be patient. There will be lots of all in shouts and you need to resist the temptation to join in unless you feel your AA will stand up. So, only play with premium hands. Alternative.y....go really loose and aggressive and shove loads early on to try and build your stack with the obvious risk of elimination early on!

wow.. this is bingo de luxe. played 2 a half hours now. hit with my 77 trips on flop, a complete fool hit nothing but a gutshot, called my potbet, even my allin on turn and hit his straight on river. he had a decent stack, not necessary to play that foolish.. dunno whats going on in his mind.
2nd tournament: AJ reraise me preflop allin, i call with kings and of course he gets his ace.
not sure if im gonna play the 100k tournament, waste of time i guess. im gonna watch football championsleague i think lol
im not angry because i lost to a fool but me being the fool playing donkaments for 2-3 hours while outside is superior nice weather. so im going out now

yea tips, cos im not really a tournament player. now i know why: you play for hours and sometimes you get nothign for it in cashgames you at least get some kind of "rakeback" if your breakeven, starcoins or w.e u wanna call it
well, i would fold it in ringgames no question except i have a read on that guy. tourny ? dunno.. depends on several things. sometimes i might fold sometimes not. but in such freerolls you have to try your luck to build up a stack..?

Some tournaments may last for hours but the are definitely worth playing them, even more when they are free And these must have a good payout structure. Hitting the money in one of them that you are participating, must be a good compensation for your time Good luck and hit at least one final table.

most of them arent, because the money is splitted by to many players. to get on final table you need luck. some are worth playing like the 100k, but ive been to lazy to enter a 3rd tournament. either your fully focused on your game or not. playin half-hearted doesnt make sense...so i decided to watch football instead.

I play only in freerolls and prizes is almost the same everywhere , a lot of time playing the funny small sum , but it is for those players they do not have a lot of money , but effort is not worth it never

Forget it buddy, waste of time, donks shoving every hand, luck is enough to stay in the tournament, having dinner with aliens is what u need to have under your belt, to have a chance to get on FT, and taking the f-ing thing down, u need to have at least one galaxy named after you so dont be mad at yourself, its not your game that sucks, so many donks in the game, its only matter of time till one of them gets lucky on you.

how are you brother how about you situation around poker , tell me what to play , what kind of tournaments , here so far have played such a tournament but I was lucky I got a $ 7
There is always donks at any level and esp. at freerolls, nothing to lose, is their mentality, they should be looking at what they can win instead, playing real tight abc poker or the first 90+ minutes, should be enough dead money to pick up a little, then the game begins

well so you're right it's free and anyone can play how they want , but there are a lot of tournaments where you have to wait several hours until the start and immediately go all in, I do not understand it to wait 2-3 hours and on the one hand to lose all the chips

In this kind of freerolls you see a lot players in every flop. Some player go all in with any two cards and so it was verry heavy to win a hand at the beginning of a freeroll. The best way to reach a place itm. The best way was to Play only really good Hands at the beginning of a freeroll.
