So far from the new daily freeroll on 888, i was able to make it 3 out of 3 in the money, should be good for the leaderboard once it gets updated, btw i like the format a lot, since it reminds me a lot of the coin freeroll i used to play on FT, aldou here are double the sarting chips, and not that many players, i dont think in these tournaments so far we passed the 500 number, anyhow lets make it 4 out of 4 ITM and good luck guys who ever plays this

I haven't had chance to play any of these games yet but hope that tonight I will make my debut....especially with such short numbers playing and the format sounds good. Well done SBEP on your achievement and I hope that you managed to am,e it into the money for the fourth time last night.

Well done, SBEP. I guess freerolls with less than 500 participants are certainly playable and enjoyable. It would tend to be a totally disastrous donkey festival when the total number of registrants exceeds 1,000. Best wishes in the upcoming tournaments.

To get anywhere on the leaderboards you need to make the money a lot of times but you will definitely need to make, and win, a few final tables as well. I hope you can keep making the money but you also go even deeper and make final tables
I haven't been able to cash yet, mostly due to bad luck. Forgot to play yesterday, when I thought about it the late registration period was over for like 4 minutes (it's only 15 minutes, right?).
Good luck for the rest of the leaderboard my friend!! See you on the tables

If it has that many players it wont be hard to place in the money. I still wonder how come they are not filling up as you say. Is it possible that after so many days they havent see the tournament yet?
Lol, my game wasn't long today in the autumn leaderboard on 888... I got A10 of spades on the second hand on the BB. There was a small raise and a very small reraise before me. I just 4bet shoved.
Original raiser called with A7 off suit, other guy folded and managed to hit a ace high flush on the river

Still a long way to go. We are talking about months till this one is over So you will have your chances of getting extra points. A bit easier though now that it doesnt fill up, to reach the money, so dont push too much
Paid positions are according to players registered, or standard no matter what.
I won yesterday for the second time ... this time a little more than the first ... in the end I had 50 to 50 ... in two Tourny tures and I won two in the no ... I have not won happening clash with the donkey, and he beat me to the garbage cards ... hopefully today I'll be fine and I will overtake luck

Dule-vu I played yesterday in the tournament but I finished in 42-43 place I play in the tournament because it is free, otherwise I do not like, the rewards is a very small,there are many players many of them play just all in for me is not very important in what place I finish the tournament i play just for fun
yesterday played pretty well in the beginning and then decided not to risk it to get points by ... as soon as I went prizes went Ollin 77 but my opponent unfortunately was 88 and I finished the game ... I think that I just was not lucky yesterday Today I hope to finally have to get to the final table or somewhere close to it

Well it wont be the same, but again its much easier with 1000 players. You can still place in the money lots easier, from that chaos that was happening in full tilt. Probably the players playing the most games will climb higher the ladder, since its a long run.

Success comes to those who never stop believing. So, always try to push your limit and keep your aim high. Nothing can stop those who possess the right mental attitude from achieving their goal. Wishing the best of luck to all forumites who will be playing $50 freeroll at 888poker.

I managed to play tonight but was late regging and was totally distracted by stuff at home I needent have bothered playing cos I just couldn't get any kind of concentration going and went out around 200th or so therefore I was pretty disappointed in my first showing. Hopefully will be back tomorrow and with less distractions.
